    Tommy Hearns V Rodrigo Valdez
    Valdez deals with Hearn's height and reach & all else that Hearns can dish out for a round and a half, then catches and crushes Hearns with a right hand...similar to the ones he caught Briscoe and Monzon with. Hearns suffers Briscoe's fate.

    Hearns wouldn't know what hit him. It would be a crunching, one punch knockout even more conclusive than Hagler's ko over Hearns....in that

    I was gonna pick Bad Bennie Briscoe vs Bad Bennie Briscoe..but I might be biased and I’m not sure it is allowed. + I am struggling to pick a winner

    I reckon he would to, and I hate picking against Tommy.

    No sorry Philly, that's not allowed. Yes BB fought both men but only Monzon as champ. As for actually pitting Benny v Benny then imo.. Its a draw!

    It's hard to be subjective at times with favourite fighters, there s always a little niggle in the back of the mind saying, my guy can do this, he can!. But then you look at the actual fighter s, unbiased and put em together, well sometimes you can't kid yourself to much.

    Darn!!! Oh well I was joking anyway and think Monzon faced a much better version of Briscoe IMO for whatever it is worth.

    not sure if this one counts but I kind of feel the guys they win the titles off of are very underrated....am I allowed Benvenuti vs Minter?

    if so I will take them and Minter by an exciting (although many won’t appreciate it or them) Split decision.

    I love Hearns, I just feel he gets way overrated as a MW

    Ahh it's OK Philly, I knew you was kidding around. Yes, those are eligible, good enough for me. Actually a good matchup.
