    Who wins this one..circa 1966-67 Dick Tiger (when he rose to the 175 class) or 1975-76 Victor Galindez? 15 rounds of course..

    Great fight !

    I think would be similar to the Giardello fights for Tiger (but those fights were at MW),......Galindez was a great counter-puncher like Giardello, with the difference that Galindez was more offensive at times, and IMO Galindez had more power than Joey......and was a natural LHW too.......so it would be even tougher against Galindez...
    But Tiger looked really impressive that night against Joey in their last meeting from what I remember.
    Tiger with the pressure counter-punching style with a great jab and boxing abilities would prevail at least once in a trilogy IMO, all of them very close fights......

    Tough fight to call anyway IMHO.....

    it's an intrigueing matchup, i think...the strength equation is one that fascinates me, because here's a guy, in Galindez that at least matches with Tiger's formidable upper body strength. The counterpuncher's strategy of Galindez would also figure here, like you said..but Victor wasn't as mobile as Joey.another factor is Galindez's tendency to cut....I can't decide on this one...
