    Don't think I've ever seen this matchup before. Woulda been a ****ing war! I can only see two outcomes - Cuevas by early-to-mid KO, or Brown by late KO.

    This would have been like a Pipino Cuevas vs Harold Weston fight.
    Simon Brown has superior boxing skills but SB would take the fight
    to PC and would pay a heavy price with PC sledge hammer left hooks.
    PC ko in 10 rds.

    Cuevas late. Not a good fight for Simon.

    Hmm, I actually really want to see the full range of classic opinions on this...

    Brown did take it to, and knock out, Terry Norris, a great fighter in his own right correct? Why wouldn't Brown be able to duplicate such a performance here?

    Cuevas, at his prime welter.

    Cuevas would land first, that's why not.

    Because Cuevas had howitzers in his fists and standing in front of him is basically asking to get knocked out. This man BROKE bones when he landed. And in his prime he had a concrete chin.
