This is a tough call between two pressure fighting Middleweights. Fifteen Rounds.

An inevitable yawn-fest, as shown by the number of replies. Worse than Armstrong-Saddler.

Tiger majority decision.

When Tiger came on the scene in the early 60's he was a cut above all
the other middles.

Hurricane Carter said: "he gave me my worst beating ever".

I concur....Tiger by majority decision.

I'd expect the gap to be a bit bigger than that due to Tiger's speed. That would be the main factor here, Briscoe getting beaten to the punch.

Tiger was quicker, and more skilled. He UD's Briscoe.

Gotta go with the consensus. Tiger too much of more or less everything: UD.

Both were masters at taking the fight to their opponents and backing them up.

A ancient, end of his career Briscoe hurt Hagler with bodyshots and made him give ground.

Tiger would have won. He was much stronger than Bennie and had the quicker hands as well, would have beaten the tough Philadelphian to the punch in most exchanges. I actually think Briscoe would have elected to box a lot more in this fight than he was accustomed to, but it would have made no difference in the eventual outcome as Tiger was just a much better fighter than Briscoe.
