Frank Fletcher .Vs. Vito Antuofermo

I took it as prime for prime.

 

I'd still take "The Animal"

 

Vito would beat and head butte the fvck out of him. Vito wins by stoppage on cuts.

 

This would be a great, great fight, and Antuofermo would win it. It would probably go the distance, with Vito winning by a clear but not-overwhelming margin. Over 12 rounds, I'd say Antuoformo takes it by 8-4 or 6-3-3. Somthing like that.

Antuofermo was the more durable of this pair, and he was a more complete fighter, both on the inside and as an outside boxer. Vito was definitely more durable, and he might have been a little stronger, too.

 

I remember Fletcher's problems with Parker and Green. Fletcher also emerged as a very beaten-up winner against Ernie Singletary. For these reasons, I always thought Fletcher was just a tad vulnerable, and that he'd have trouble with guys at the very top of the division.

I agree with your point about Vito lacking Roldan's power, and that this is the reason Antuofermo-Fletcher would probably go the distance.

 

I agree that if Fletcher fought Vito during the 1981 to 1982 period, then Fletcher likely would have beaten the washed-up Antuofermo. Fletcher vs. Vito prime-for-prime however favors Vito.

 

Vito made it to the top; Frank never did..... enough said.........

MR.BILL

 

Vito by decision. Fletcher was good but his skills diminished before he made it to the top. Vito was a tough customer for anybody.

 

vito outlasts fletcher to win a decision. Superior stamina as well as superior chin are the main factors. He might have even scored a late round tko.

 

Vito would wear Frank down late to take the fight over the distance.

 

Providing Vito does n't bleed too much,he has the strength to outhustle Fletcher down the strength.


Antuofermo by decision.

 

Vito by decision - he was cleverer and more experienced than Frank, durable enough to take Frank's best and with better stamina. I like Vito by decision. It should be remembered that Vito gave Marv one of his toughest fights ever - THAT Vito would have more than enough to beat Fletcher, imo.

 

Never heard of Fletcher but Antuofermo wasn't that good of a boxer, great stamina but more will than skill.

 

After 5 rounds Vito would have owned FF...an ugly, mauling, brawling 15 round decision.

 

My heart is with The Animal, but I have to admit Vito wears him down by fighting 3 minutes per round over 15 and Frank fights in spurts. Great action fight and about a 9-6 decision for Vito.
