    From 1990 to 1993 Benn only scored two KO`s, he did also score 5 TKO`s in that space of time, but that`s not a good display of power compared to how he was blowing guys away befre he lost to Eubank in their first bout, in that space of time he went the distance 3 times, the other guys Bulldog mentioned were punching for harder in the early 90`s than Benn except Hearns, despite Benn going on to injure and stop G-man.

    Benn was facing cruiserweights coming down when he could still make middle.

    Eubank only scored one KO after his first fight v Benn leading up to his second fight with Nigel, he also managed two TKO`s in the early 90`s but won 8 points decisions in that time period, Benn`s power was slightly more impressive during that period.

    Well then, I'll just have to settle for at cruiserweight. Where he still does things Haye can't, and looked quicker and faster while doing so.
    I know! Almost as fast and powerful as Leon Spinks' younger bro!
    Is that what the word means or are just admitting defeat?

    There is a third Spinks brother? Yowzers.

    No just not interested in divisions below Bantamweight.

    Breland was a poor man`s Tommy Hearns and Hide was nothing but a blown up cruiser that punched hard for his size and had the speed of a cruiser.

    Not one mention of Too Sharp at Fly? He was the obvious choice to me.

    Couple of guys named Dokes and Page could debate the Tubbs selection.

    At one point it was undisputed that Page, Dokes and Holmes had the fastest hands in the division. Tubbs was still emerging at that point.

    Yeah, I have nothing against Tony and he was fast, but I wouldn't put him over Page, Dokes, and Holmes, but just my view.
