Who would win in their prime at middleweight between Nino Benvenuti and Tony Mundine (Anthony's dad)? Benvenuti would use his jab, speed and combinations to outbox Mundine through 15 rounds to win a decision. What is your opinion?

I agree -- and I don't think this is a real smoking hot match-up or discussion.

Nino lack of punching power would be his undoing Mundine wins by 14th round Tko

Benvenuti scored 35 out of 82 wins by knockout and had a good powerful left hook that knocked out Luis Rodriguez. The tactic that Benvenuti should beat Mundine was to out-box him and score with long range without engaging him on the inside for a late round TKO win or decision.

Benvenuti is such an underrated middleweight champion.
A consummate boxer/puncher.
I just can't imagine him having many problems with Mundine, whose chin was as soft as pudding.
Benvenuti walks all over Mundine, knocking him out within 6 rounds.

I believed Nino Benvenuti's power was underrated and he would stop Mundine in 11 rounds as Benvenuti would take more time outworking him longer than Monzon stopping Mundine.
