    Okay.....I´ll vote.....

    Apostoli was more skilled, better head movement.....and would beat BB by decision.....a clear but tough decision......

    A decision for Apostoli..Briscoe was like a tank..and although valdez did the trick of ko'ing Bad Bennie...he couldn't do it again...it was like lighting in a bottle that one time..Apostoli would outgeneral Briscoe for a narrow decision win.

    When Fred Apostoli was "on" he had everything. He fought in a tough, tough MW era of Freddie Steele, Al Hostak, Billy Conn, Ken Overlin, Solly Krieger, Tony Zale, Teddy Yarosz, Marcel Thil, etc. Any one of these guys would most likely be MW champion today.
    I ,take Fred Apostoli by decision...He was that good...

    There were no airs about Apostoli. He was a down to earth fighter who liked to mix it. And for that reason I lean towards Briscoe. With Fred being accomadating, I see Briscoe ripping him up on the inside. Briscoe on a 10th round stoppage.

    i had to watch him, nice fighter, and i agree apostoli had the skills to outpoint benny 2 rounds to 1, a ko could be to either guy though.
