    Benvenuti on points, w/ Barkley providing a few rocky moments along the way IMO.

    Benvenuti was a far more sophisticated fighter than Barkley. Yeah he had Hearns' number but overall his career was pretty mixed.. i rate Benvenuti higher.

    Nino slices/swells him up with that precision punching. Tko9 in an exciting bout, but really would have to go with the precision and accurate guy here.
