    Dick Tiger takes this one. Just too strong and tough for Graziano.

    Tiger, by mid-rounds KO, somewhere around the 8th-10th. He was too solid, too crisp, too tough, and would be able to work inside Rocky's wildness.

    Easy win for Tiger. Very easy stoppage.

    Yeah, I agree, I don´t know about KO, maybe yeah...but I like the UD in my opinion....Tiger had an underrated jab, he could box very well.....And had great inside game.....

    Tiger wins 10/10 times, most by stoppage.

    Interesting....I agree with Tiger victory here, 100%....
    I would bet some money on him against Graziano....for sure !!

    But I´m surprised with the unanimous opinions here........Graziano was unorthodox, dangerous fighter......really hard to hurt.....

    It's hard to envision Rocky lasting in this one. Tiger is too strong and powerful. Graziano's style would make him an easy target.

    Look for Rocky to land several of his trademark right hands but with little affect. Jose Torres wrote of how after landing a solid combination on Tiger's noggin he stepped back expecting Dick to drop and was suprised to see nothing happen. Dick busts Rocky up inside and stops him with solidly timed shots to the head.

    Tiger was too much for Rocky...he would have ground the Rock down well before the 10th round.

    I don't think Rocky survives four rounds .. Tiger crushes him. I don't think there was a middleweight that ever lived that beats Tiger with power ... outboxed, yes but straight up power, no.

    A faded Zale took 2 out of 3 against Graziano.Tiger had everything Zale had, he dissects Rocky inside 8rds.
