    Nigel benn vs a welterweight? Hmmm why not just resurrect a GGG vs Mayweather thread instead.

    Even if Benn was a welterweight he would 100% spark him out cold. Spence has never fought a legit banger let alone one his own size and the way he reacts to and gets hurt by light hitters wouldn't bode well for him at all against an absolutely murderous puncher like Benn who is one of the most vicious and destructive KO punchers the MW division has ever seen.

    160 as Spence is a big welter.

    I just think Spence is overrated and hope Conor Benn can spark him some day.

    LMAO. You can’t call someone overrated then mention Conor Benn. Conor hasn’t fought and will not fight anyone with a pulse. He sure as hell ain’t fighting Spence.
