Prime Nigel Benn vs Prime Joe Calzaghe

[FinitoElDinamita]

Calzaghe would school him properly.. Benn was a British version of Iran Barkley

[SugarBoxing]

Love Benn, but Calzaghe would school him

[Scott22]

Joe Calzaghe two out of three to win the trilogy.

[ryanman]

Calzaghe would make it look easy from round 6 onwards.

[Dia bando]

Benn would give his ALL,! but would be out boxed and Joe would have stopped him in about
8 rounds, Benn was a fantastic fighter, but Joe was better one of the best fighters we ever
had, by the way he would have spanked Carl the COCK Froch as well simple.

If Sugar Boy Malinga can beat Benn TWICE (yes, he was robbed the first time), then Calzaghe schools him.

Calzaghe W12 Benn unanimously.

Calzaghe W12 Benn unanimously.

Thought 2nd close, but Benn won it. Likewise if 40 year old Hopkins, Jones and a Mitchell are dropping him with single shots I'd wager that he would be in far worse shape when Benn managed to do so.

Joe mixed when he shouldn't and Benn was boxing better at 168. I just don't see all the schooling thought by the many.

I think their fight(Benn-Barkley) might suggest he was a bit more dangerous for a while. I'd pick Calzaghe but he could've gotten caught and put away as well.

you cannot compare Barkley with Calzaghe skillwise, Barkley was just a slow slugger with power, but not ring thinking.

You cannot read. I was saying Benn had a chance against Calzaghe and that he was better than Barkley.

The only fighter in recent history that could have beaten Joe Calzaghe at Middle or Super Middle was Roy Jones in Jones's prime.

Roy Jones before he made Light Heavyweight was the man and always will be the man. No one compares aside form Ray Robinson, who I feel Roy would school if they ever fought in their primes.

To me at Middleweight to Super Middleweight:
1. Roy Jones
2. Ray Robinson
3. Marvin Hagler
4. Carlos Monzon
5. Joe Calzaghe

[Britkid]

I think Benn improved no end in the early 90s, and I am sure he would of given Calzaghe plenty to think about, but in the end I believe Joe would have edged it over 12 rounds.

Roy was unorthodox n unbelievably talented, but prime SRR has too many dimensions for Roy. Hagler, BHOP, Leonard most likely beat him also. I do agree that Roy beats Joe prime vs prime, most likely by knockout.

[mikeeod]

Why shouldn't Hop be mentioned alongside Monzon, Hagler...etc.?!? At this point in his career I can't see how anyone can still try n discredit his ability n accomplishments.

[mikeeod]

Also, while Benn was a one dimensional puncher early in his career, he morphed into a complete fighter during his reign at 168. Had he not developed his defense n boxing ability he wouldn't have lasted two rounds with G-Man in their fight.
