At 160? Ouch. In 1988/91 Jackson's eye was an issue, but that did not stop him flattening Norris and Graham. The Hawk's chin was also pretty solid at the time (McCallum aside, who was rather special and could bang at 154). Benn had not yet developed the 'cuteness' that made him a better fighter (IMO) at 168. As brilliant as he was fighting fire with fire against DeWitt, Barkley, Logan et al, I do not see Benn being 'stung' into action against Jackson; I see him getting flattened.

But I would have loved to have seen it. And knowing my pretty shocking record in predicting fights, maybe Benn wins...
