Who would win in their prime at middleweight between Dick Tiger and Tom Bogs? In my opinion, the two division champion Dick Tiger would swarm and destroy Bogs in 10 rounds with hard counters. What is your opinion?

Tom Bogs had nothing.. No jab and easy to hit.. He won his first 52 fights because they gave him several of those fights as gifts.. Emile Griffith was the first guy to win a decision over Bogs I believe... Griffith beat both Tiger and Bogs convincingly... but he beat Bogs more convincingly... I'll go with Tiger if they had honest and competent judges... Both very easy to hit -- Bogs was more easy to hit.

Bogs was tough... The first guy to knock Bogs out was Carlos Monzon... He blasted Bogs non-stop and stopped him in 5 rounds in Bogs 69th fight. Dick Tiger was also supremely tough.. He stopped Gene Fullmer but he had a less than impressive KO ratio of 33%.. He wasn't a good boxer or puncher but he could absorb punches like few boxers in history.. He walked through your punches and wore you down.. He couldn't do that to Bob Foster, who crushed him.

Bogs by decision.
