Ray Mancini vs. Vinny Pazienza (at lightweight). Who wins?

Question

I think this would've been an entertaining fight. Who do you think would've won?

Answer 1

Pancho great match up. Both guys didn't give an inch. This one would be a slugfest/bloodbath. I see Mancini winning a unanimous decision.

Answer 2

I think that the ref would have to keep a close eye on that one. They areboth Italian so the tempers would more than likely fly off the wall and it would be just a sanctioned street fight, however "BoomBoom" Mancini retired from boxing for killing a man in the ring with just a quick 3 punch combo. Winner Mancini KO in the 9th.

Answer 3

Definitely entertaining Vinny Paz was always that even when he was losing but the Pazmanian Devil would be outboxed in this fight if they fought at light weight.

Id take Youngstown's own Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini at a heavier weight class though I think Vinny would have a better chance.

Answer 4

Mancini - W 29 (KO's 23) TF 34 - W pct 85% - KO pct 68% - wins over Ramirez, Espana, Chacon and A. Fritas - KO'ed by Arguello, Bramble and G. Haugen
Accidentally killed a fighter in the ring, Deuk Koo Kim and he never recovered from it.
A good, skilled and talented made for TV fighter.

Pazienza - W 50 (KO's 30) TF - W pct 83% - wins over G. Haugen{2}, R. Simms, Duran[2] and Sims - KO'ed by R. and A. Jones
Another good made for TV fighter

A highly exciting, fan rousing and exhilarating bout the ends in a majority draw.
