Gene Fullmer vs Bennie Briscoe. What If?

Post by KOJOE90 »

Two of the strongest, roughest and toughest Middleweights of the modern era but if they had been able to meet each other of 15 rounds at Middleweight who wins?

Wow ,what a battle.
I gotta go with Bennie cuz he was the bigger puncher.
I dont think Bad Bennie would be too fazed by Fullmers mauling.
Briscoes a favorite of mine so maybe Im a little partial.

I'd also go with Bennie, a guy who fought Monzon early on to a draw. That in itself is a resume. Though Fulmer's list is a who's who as well, though the timing of some of those names may be suspect.

Great fight, I'd be more comfortable betting on Briscoe. But wouldn't be surprised if I didn't collect.
