Graziano you are all familiar with.

Of all the bareknuckle fighters, Mendoza is one of the best documented style-wise. He wrote his own manual, and a sizeable number of people are "reconstructing" his art today.

Nobody else is interested?

I would go with Mendoza, Graziano´s chin wasn´t the best and humans in Daniel´s time were just inhuman and tough as nails, he would knock Rocky out...

I would like to see this. I pick Mendoza. I think he would just have
too much skill for Graziano.
