    Galindez at his best thoroughly outclasses Scott.

    Victor. Scott had some good wins, but Victor would beat the crap out of him

    I agree Victor wins and I think it's via dominant fashion at his best, but there's a high chance he isn't in at his best, or is tight at the weight. Victor was in a lot of close calls, like Fourie, Lopez I, Burnett I, Kates I &c; and I can certainly see the workmanship and bullishness of Scott giving a lackadaisical Galindez plenty of things to worry about. I think it would turn out to be an awesome fight.

    I think Galindez at his peak stays on the ropes and matches Scott punch for punch, exchanging viciously and Galindez going to the body and countering enough to wear Scott out; winning by late TKO.

    If you're in against Scott, you're going to the prison, which means this is most likely a ten round, non title fight. Is Galindez intimidated? Is he in shape? Is he comfortable at the weight?I made this thread to see if anyone would put a case forward for Scott.

    Mythical Matchups always assume both guys at their bests.

    I generally agree with that but then if a fighter has a track record of inconsistency then I think it's fair to raise that and weigh it up in a mythical matchup. Still, I'd definitely pick Galindez here.

    I do favor Victor, but tend to think anything could happen. Galindez lost more than a few times in his career (duh, Rossman, though that was on cuts), to some opposition no better than Scott (who was pretty good himself). Combine the fact that Galindez was upsettable, and Scott was an upsetter, you could get an upset here. It is interesting though, that they shared three common opponents: EMM, Kates, and Lopez, and ultimately had mostly the same success against them.

    I'll take the Scott that whitewashed Eddie Mustafa Muhammad to outlast Galindez. I think Scott gets shorted on here pretty regularly for a variety of reasons.

    James Scott was a very tough fighter who under different circumstances might have one a belt. But in this instance I will take Galindez by a decision

    I don't think I would take that Scott to beat Galindez. He'd make a good showing though.
