Nigel couldn't take what he could dish out, but he sure could punch. The 160 pound Nigel GGG would stop in about 7 rounds, but the 168 pound Nigel with GGG moving up I think Nigel outboxes.

 

Nigel's heart and determination would make this entertaining ....but also ensure a protracted beating for the Dark Destroyer. Golovkin's brutal jab softens Benn for a late round tko.

 

Golovkin gets hurt in this fight than more than any other. Benn s going to be throwing those wild punches like he does, the sort that have you covering up for your life. GGG has a solid chin, he'd be shaken but still in control enough to ram his Jab out. By around the 6 th, Benn s still throwing but losing steam fast. And now Golovkin s battering away at him.
As much as I love Benn, I don't see him having much effect on GGG as hard as he tries.
Golovkin by 7 round stoppage.

 

Benn at MW was very aggressive and vulnerable. At SMW he was more refined but
still very dangerous. At MW Golovkin and if at SMW expect Benn do what Brooks
couldn't do and conqueror Golovkin.

 

Golovkin by KO exactly like the jab no vs the LeMieux guy..

 

Difficult one this my heart says Benn but head says Golovkin late stoppage

 

Good thing your brain is in your head nothing difficult about this.

 

GGG was another level .. He had the chin and skills to nullify Benn and outlast him .. Benn was some warrior and I give him far more credit than I do Eubanks .. Nigel came to America and fought some tough real guys like Barkley, DeWitt and of course later McCullen .. I don't think he was a great fighter but he was a very very good tough and dangerous warrior with insane power and heart for sure.

 

GGG jabs his face off and KOs him later. Benn may have some success early with an all out assault, but he is not KOing GGG and the pace would be set quickly.

 

Flippant reply no way could you discount Benn just look at his wns over thekes of Barclay and McClennon

 

I’m not too sure about this one.
I know the consensus says Golovkin but he’s fighting someone the likes of which he’s never had to deal with.
Namely that Benn wouldn’t be intimidated and would be going in there to tear Golovkin’s head off.
Golovkin’s solid jab and steady consistent output would potentially wear Benn down, but he would find himself under more fire than he’d ever been used too, and that rock solid chin would definitely be tested to the limit.
I think ultimately it would probably come down to chins though and I’d take Golovkin to win with a late round stoppage, not with that much conviction though.
