You've only ever seen one round of Benn, the 1st-round against Eubank in 1990 that I posted here Lol.
No I've seen him vs Barkley, more of the Eubank fight, parts of the McClellan fight and I've seen basically enough to know he had trouble with speed, his chin wasn't unbreakable, and Roy would have the PERFECT style to beat him...Nigel's punches were wide and slow...powerful but too slow to catch Roy
In those particular clips, it may appear that way.

But at the start of his career, his speed of hand was absolutely sick! And at his best, under Tibbs, he was a very compact puncher always in perfect position with the bobbing and weaving.
