Willie Pastrano vs Dick Tiger

Willie Pastrano was a kind of light heavyweight version of Joey Giardello. Slick boxer, good chin, tough. Joey split 4 fights with Tiger. Pastrano in my view, would take atleast 3 of four if not all 4. Tiger was really a middleweight and Pastrano a true 175 pounder. A really good LH should be able to handle a really good middleweight and i think Pastrano does in this case.

 

I like Willie P. by decision

 

Pastrano's slickness and outside movement wins him this one imo.

Both fighters bare unfortunate first names. willie and dick, its damn joke, imagine promoting this figh "WILLIE VS DICK"

 

i think pastrano would make a mug out of tiger and enjoy doing.tiger is as over rated as pastrano is under

 

I do agree with this, he was a very slick boxer who could take it.

If he's on his game, I pick him to beat the legendary Tiger.

If not on his game, Tiger mauls him.

 

The only thing Willie Pastrano and Joey Giardello had in common was their Italian heritage. Pastrano was a true lightheavy version of young Ali,bouncing on his toes,jabbing away,always on the move because he was a light puncher. Giardello ,a middleweight, punched harder than Willie, and
used guile, rather than speed of foot, thereby conserving energy which allowed Giardello to be effective in his later years...Two different kettles of fish, were they....

 

Wily Willie was underated! I remember when he beat(dont laugh) Brian London ,some good big guys.BUT willie was a natural LH.But Dick was good but very good at middle.Remember he trounced Gene Fullmer,beat at the time)murderous Ko hitter Florotino Fernandez,beat Hank Casey, kod spider webb, and talk about great BOXERS TIGER CLAWED REaL GOOD BOXER IN GENE ace ArMSTRONG,REMEMBER HIM!!! aLTHOUGH Im glad to see Willie has so many fans!!!
