    Saw this one listed on a SM boxing group. Found it pretty intriguing.

    I'm going for Joey,but he would have to have been putting his time in in the gym.

    Most definitely. No cutting corners here

    I've got Joey. I see him cleanly and clearly outboxing Cerdan.

    Hi Guys.
    I will go with Joey, anyone who can roll with Tiger, and beat him, should be able to handle Cerdan, now Tiger v Cerdan would be interesting ?
    stay safe guys, chat soon.

    Tiger vs Cerdan would be fun from stylistic perspective but I think Tiger is just too strong for Cerdan to last going toe to toe.

    Giardello for me. In my opinion, Giardello at his best gives any middleweight an extremely hard time.

    It's hard to judge Cerdan in H2H matchups b/c he lacks the depth of resume (despite having great number) & didn't start getting big fights until after the war, when he was likely @the tail end or perhaps already slightly past his prime.

    Having said that, IDK if Cerdan & Tiger are appropriate comparisons - Tiger was a natural counterpuncher & often struggled to take the lead in fights, whereas Cerdan seems to have been more of a swarmer & perhaps more comfortable going on the attack. I think Cerdan could have a good shot @outhusting Giardello to a decision.
