    It's scary what an exciting matchmaker you are, d. Every one would have fans salivating and making big PPV numbers if they were held now.

    Fernandez was a BIG welterweight and had legit one shot KO power, and while his defense wasn`t nothing to write home about it was a damn sight better than Rocky`s who had none to speak of. I`ll tentatively pick Floro by KO within 4 rounds, but Rocky can bomb him out of there in the first two rounds if he nails him before Fernandez wokred up a sweat and got into the fight a la Rubin Carter. Rocky started fast and was aggressive as hell, so he just might pull it off but more often than not I think Fernandez gets him out of there within 5-6 rounds.

    No idea who I'd favor. Both had frightening fight ending power.

    Both men would probably end up looking like they fell face first into a silage blower. Big punches and no defense to speak of. I would be rooting for Fernandez. I was a big fan of his back in the late fifties and early sixties. One fact would give me pause, though. Graziano was only stopped by Zale and Robinson. He might have the superior chin and I judge he deserves the edge on that basis.
