It would be a close tactical affair, where I favor Benvenuti.

Great, great matchup here. I agree with the above post that it would be a very tactical chess match kinda bout. I could see it going either way, but at 154 I'd favor Benvenuti as well. At 160 the edge may swing to McCallum.

Ain't nobody beats the great Mike McCallum at 154lbs. Maybe, Only the great Sugar Ray Robinson could. Nobody else.

Both had great resume at 154 lbs, but the Bodysnatcher would edge out Benvenuti by decision and punish him for the late round stoppage.

At 154 IMO McCallum by UD or late TKO
at 160 Nino by close UD.
