Randolph Turpin v Marcel Cerdan

[Ettt9350]

Who wins this fight at middleweight?

[klompton]

Knee jerk reaction would say Cerdan but Randy was so much bigger and so naturally strong I could see him overpowering Cerdan.

[Ambling Alp II]

At their best, I would lean towards Turpin. However, Cerdan would win most of the time.

I give it to turpin

I'm going Cerdan here. Turpin was very strong but to some degree was just trouble for SRR from a style pov. I think it would have been one hell of a fight but Cerdan for me with the overall better pedigree.

[Counter-puncher]

I don't know enough to know who wins, but I know enough to know its one heck of a match and one heck of a fight.

Turpin was a great fighter he once beat pound for pound KING Ray Robinson, Cerdan was a French idol......Turpin would have used his reach
and box smart enough over 15 round's to gain a split dec..............Aussie Dave Sands was rumoured to have been avoided by Randy after he iced
his brother Dick in one round for the Empire Middleweight title...........Did they have a brother named Mick only joking.

[Crease]

I think if this fight were happening tomorrow, Cerdan would be the favourite going in to the fight. But I don't know which way to lean, it could genuinely be a 50/50 fight.

cerdan - but I cant be cerdan about it

[Ambling Alp II]
