Crude slugger (with underrated skills) versus counter-punching slickster (with underrated power). Who takes it?

Toney TKO8 Roldan. Roldan was a rugged dude but he lacked good defense

Roldan had pretty decent head movement actually. Watch his fight with Hagler. He was making him whiff a lot of his punches and coming back with some sharp counters. He was far from the crude Argentinian slugger stereotype a la Baldomir, Castro etc.

Roldan was a beast too. Dude's upper body was built like a Heavyweight's. Again, watch his fight with Hagler, especially the first few rounds. When was the last time you saw Hagler getting beat up like that?
