Nigel Benn vs Roy Jones!

[Hulk]

Jones avoided Nigel because he knew Nige had an excellent chance of beating him. Jones did same thing with all the legit contenders

Toney 44-0-2
Hopkins 22-1-0
Tarver 21-1-0
Woods 32-1-0
Griffin 26-0-0
Harding 19-0-1
Johnson 39-5-1
Hill 43-2-0
Mcallum 49-3-1
werent legit contenders?

Nigel Benn had a punchers chance but 98 times out of a 100 Jones would have won prime for prime.

Lets not forget about Thomas Tate and Merqui Sosa who were both taken out in 2 rounds. And Benn's buddy Sugar Boy Malinga didn't fare much better.

I like Benn a lot. I have his career set. But he was made to order for Jones or Toney's great counter punching. Great heart and power though. Hell of an exciting fighter.

I think Jones would have beaten benn

having said that benn is one of my favourite fighters of all time, was a part of a fantastic british scene at the time
