    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 can see what you're saying.

    I can also see Calzaghe maybe taking a count because he was sometimes not averse to getting into brawls, but Joe's adaptability was great: the way he would adapt to his opposition, sometimes midfight was phenomenal.

    I still see him schooling Benn after one or two hairy moments.

    Yeh I can see Calzaghe activity and volume being a problem but he would have to keep a very level head and keep Benn moving. Calzaghe had a well grounded mentality and wouldn't fold. He takes alot of flack but I didn't mind the guy but when I think of him handing out lessons and Benn being called one demensional I think of Joe spanking Lacy, who frankly was an overrated puncher as well as flat overrated. Benn, not so much.
