The battle of poster boy tough guys. Who wins?

Fullmer. I'll elaborate when I find more time later.

I think this would be a hard fight for Nigel. IMO he's got more physical gifts and more skill but Fullmer was very very tough.
In a 10 round fight Benn would win but in a 15 round fight I'd look to Fullmer.
Gene would take a battering but Benn could unravel in fights where he was seemingly on top.

Fullmer by knockout inside 8 rounds.
Fullmer at his best did pretty much everything better than Benn. Benn might've had a slight edge in handspeed but that's about it.
