Nigel Benn vs. today's 168 lbers

[OumaFan]

I kind of think Kessler would be wrong for Been. Good footwork, can keep distance, jab and right hand.

He'd eat Miranda's children. Probably KO Bute late. Too good for Bika or Andrade but they wouldn't go anywhere, especially Andrade.

Kessler is the only one I could really see beating Benn.

Andrade would be getting hit harder than ever before, but he could most likely take it.

That'd be a great fight.

[BIG H]

He dusts up everybody apart from Kessler imo

You should watch it again man. Benn won way too many early and middle rounds to lose that fight.

I think he just may have beat all of today's 168.

Yep, I only see Kessler being too much out of todays bunch.

I think if he allowed Miranda to brawl with him that could have been a very solid (albeit short) fight.

Jermain Taylor can hang with pretty much anyone for 8 rounds or so...after that he tends to wear down.

Andre Ward is very green still, in 3-4 fights (if he continues progressing) I think he'd be able to hang with a guy like Benn

Mikkel Kessler is the best technical fighter and has the hardest punch, I think he could do better outboxing Benn than trying to KO him.

Other guys we can consider besides Froch, Andrade, and Bute are Chad Dawson, Kelly Pavlik, and Arthur Abraham. The guys at 160-168 don't seem to hit as hard as Benn's era of guys like: RJJ, Toney, McClellan, Jackson, etc

Nigel Benn is my boxing idol.I grew up watching his fights and wars on itv as a kid and he sparked my interests in the great noble art game.Benn in his prime on his best night of fighting would beat most of today's present fighters.Benn was raw and really game and a forward fighter with heavy hands.Benn's guard was always open for counters,that was his down fall i think.Thats why he lost to Eubank when their first met.I watched that fight myself a couple of days ago on dvd.I loved Benn,he's my true hero.Soo game and raw!!

I see Kessler beating him after some rough spots, I think he would brutally KO Froch, Bute.

I think Andrade would beat Benn by KO, Nigel hit hard but had a suspect chin, Andrade can take them with the best and from the best plus he has pop in his punches....

If Andrade was not so damn slow he would be a world champion by now
