How good was Nigel Benn?

No. Abraham was a straight-up, static target with his hands in front of his face, whereas Benn had a lot of lateral upper body movement.

 

Dude was a legend, simply as. Got beat but came back every-time. Got humbled by Watson but dusted himself off, went to the USA and smashed Barkley to bits.

 

Clearly you don't have to achieve that much to be viewed as legendary in British Boxing terms.

I could make a good case that Johnny Nelson was a better fighter than Benn.

 

Johnny Nelson fought nobody near the class of Watson, Williams, DeWitt, Barkley, Eubank, Sims, and McClellan.

 

Go on then.

 

No Benn was far superior and faster than Abraham

 

Another boxing newbie.

 

I would not say 'far superior', but Benn was faster.

Abraham would of been a sod of a fight for the Dark Destroyer...

Benn at his very, very best to win a razor thin decision.

 

Jermain Taylor had Froch down and had Froch beaten until the stoppage whilst Benn would ko Taylor good enough.So there`s your answer.I think Benn wins Froch on points,his power wasn`t as good 168lbs.

 

I think smarter 168lbs Benn beats Taylor, but at 160 it is at best pick'em and to be honest I take Taylor off the floor in about eight.

 

Maybe far superior was a stretch but there is no way Froch bosses Benn like he did Abraham it would have been a 50/50 fight imo

 

Froch would never go 12 rounds with Nigel Benn, apart from maybe one fight in 100 fights.

 

I do not think Froch would stop him that often. Benn's chin was slightly soft, but he had a cunning at 168 that mostly got him out of trouble...

 

Froch would stop Benn about one in 10 fights perhaps.

Carl is so wide open to Benn's speedy right hand bombs, almost tailor-made.

 

Twatberry you really don't know **** about boxing, you are obsessed with Eubank and protecting his legacy by bigging up is opponents etc. Get a life mate.
