    These two remind me of each other and I think would make for an interesting match up. Both guys are very similar in stature, both were strong with an awkward aggressive style and good jabs. Both guys captured a part of the world title and both had some good victories as well as bad defeats. Personally I like Berbick in this fight I feel he was the stronger and overall the tougher of the two but Seldon likely had the speed advantage and could put together a very solid performance on a given night. Who do you got?

    They did have some stylistic similarities but Berbick was more durable and slightly more skilled. Might be a good fight four a few rounds, but I see Bruce getting stopped some where mid to late rounds.

    Berbick would beat the sh*t out of Seldon.


    Funny how Berbick lasted just one round longer against Tyson than Seldon did.

    Yet compare their efforts.

    Seldon is a ****ing disgrace.

    IMO, Seldon should never be allowed to win any fantasy head to head matches. Even ones he already won.

    Berbick KO around 6 rounds

    No way Seldon wins this!

    I don't think it'll be boring. Both of these guys liked to brawl in close and both were strong. Neither were terribly devastating per say, but both could crack. Might actually be a fun fight to watch, before Seldon's durability and weak mental resolve issues become a factor.

    P.S. I don't see this as being the easy one sided affair for Trevor as most have already surmised.

    Seldon was a chiseled beast whose chin let him down more than anything. I see it going to Mr. Berbick pretty easily within a few rounds.

    Fully agree. :good
    Seldon was a *****.
    After his fight with Tyson, no one can take him seriously as a man or boxer...

    Yeah, Seldon had a glass jaw, and Berbick would likely be able to shatter it.
