Nigel Benn vs. Tito Trinidad at 160

[Master]

Did I mention Benn would tear off Tito's head.

[porkypara]

Wow good match up.


Think it would be very close,both are hard hitters with chins that are not always 100%.


Think Tito was a more controlled boxer but you could never count Benn out of a fight.

You know what it is a good match up!

I think the author of this thread should get repped from everyone around the board!

[Kel]

Benn by KO in a Hagler Hearns type brawl most probably.

[jamiebhoy]

Agree re the Hagler Hearns comparison. I go for Benn getting hurt by a few bombs and getting mighty pissed off and scoring a KO in 3 or 4 .

[Fenster]

Tito was only on the floor about 50 times at welterweight.

Kevin Lueshing decked him for effs sake.

I agree it could resemble Hagler-Hearns although more likely Khan vs Prescott.

Big Nigel Benn fan eh?

[BIG H]

I'd pick Benn at 160, but wouldn't be suprised if he swallowed a left hook and got KOed

I think you meant got knocked down not KO'd.. then got up and sparked out Tito.

[HattonTheHammer]

sorry to say it but 160 above and tito stunk the place out

Benn wouldnt of made the weight anyway and even if he did would of been incredibly weight drained and not half as effective as he is at 12stone

It would of been 2 fighters out of their depth slugging it out

I believe Nigel Benn beat Doug Dewitt and Robbie Simms at 160 as well.

And Iran Barkely is a MUCH bigger man than Tito Trinidad.

He had straight punches too.

And was knocked down 3 times and stopped in one round.

Dewitt and Simms?? You gotta be from England. I was laughing so hard when I saw those names my belly popped through my throught onto the floor. They were more journeymen than fringe contenders here in the USA. As Holmes might say "Robbie Simms can't carry his brother's jockstrap." His brother being Marvin Hagler.

He's not from England lol

Dewitt was a good win, he'd gone the distance with McCrory & Hearns and Benn stopped him convincingly.
Loved the Barkley fight - again an excellent win
Eubank (2nd fight) another big win, even if the judges cheated him
McClellan - Nuf said

Benn definitely had his limitations, but he was genuine world class and a match for any of the 90s MWs and SWs (P.S I said 'a match' not that he would beat)

Agreed with Big H Robbie Simms also never got stopped by anyone else.

Simms beat Duran too didn't he? Or am I thinking of somebody else?

Yes he did, although I remember he was fortunate to get the decision.
