Think these hypotheticals get a bit blurred.Couple of weeks ago it was Toney vs. Holyfield at cruiserweight.......Have to take into account the tremendous difference in experience of each guy at the moment in time.The hypo is really loaded in one direction

Benn was a what?2,3 year pro at middle and Tito by the time he reached 160 had a decade + under his belt.And although he smashed Joppy,I still say he was not a middleweight and had done nothing else there.Also maturity as a fighter,Benn at 160 was in his pure destruct and come forward days but would go on to add some nice boxing and patients down the stretch......perhaps learned best from punching himself out vs. Watson and Eubanks in the first go.

Going against that,I still say Benn is to strong and while both fighters...especially Tito, were dropped and stunned very early in fights...more often than not they both got up.I think Tito gets put on his heels and it gets to be an inside fight,Titos left hook would be dangerous but when its close and they exchange.If Jr. Welts drop Tito...Benn keeps him on the floor.
