I dont know. This is an interesting match given Cerdan's padded record but aesthetically pleasing style and Giardello's inconsistency. I think one thing that might come into play is Giardello's strength. He was a fairly big and fairly strong MW, that combined with his speed and slickness might cause Cerdan problems because Cerdan was a naturally smaller guy who like to get inside and bang away. Work rate might be the decider here and Cerdan had the better work rate. The Giardello who sleep walked through rounds with and got knocked down by Langlois wouldnt beat Cerdan but the Giardello who beat Turner might. Joey loved guys to come to him. He could chew them up and spit them out that way. It really depends a lot on which Joey shows up but I think the odds would probably have to favor Cerdan slightly.

I guess my post sounds like I have Cerdan going away with this...I don't. I agree that the Giardello that beat Turner, and also the one who went into the gutter with Holly Mims in a rough affair would give Cerdan all he wanted...and the past prime, but spot on Joey who showed up taking Tiger's title...would probably take Cerdan by decision. It's close IMO...
