    Giardello outboxes him over 15.

    Joey takes this by a fair margin IMO...With Giardello's style, I think he avoids Zale's favorite right dig to the body, left hook to the head, most of the time...Joey's footwork and movement keeps Zale reaching all night.

    When Giardello is in shape, he is a very tough out for anyone.

    Giardello, no contest. Zale is overrated and limited. The assets he does possess arent the assetts needed to beat Giardello. Im not saying Joey was unbeatable but on his best night against Zales best night Zale wouldnt have much of a chance in my opinion.
