    I'd cringe at Froch standing off Benn with his left hand by his knee, I'd cringe infinite more when a punch blasts off his cheek.

    There's no way Froch deals with Benn's movement and power. Benn would rip appart all the Euro fighters. Dirrell and Ward would have a chance if they chose to box smart. Benn would most likely knock Dirrell out late though. He's a far superior composite puncher than Abraham and is also much better at closing the distance.

    I see Jones stopping Benn early, if he was careful.

    Benn's style was made for Calzaghe, but... Benn had a fast right hand and Calzaghe could be hit with the right hand time and again..

    Calzaghe did want the Benn fight back in the day... he stated Benn was his No. 1 choice in '96, then Roy Jones.

    I'd love to see Benn fight these guys,it would be ****in brutal.

    Froch would have a meat pie for a face and everyone else would sleep except perhaps Abraham.He would quit on his stool.

    Benn was an animal.

    Benn would run wild through the division.

    It would be a sight to see.

    I think Ward and Kessler would be the easiest fights for Benn. He would stop Ward pretty quickly and Kessler would be intimidated to throw back, so it would be an easy fight. I don't see Ward causing Benn too many problems, based on styles.

    Froch would be a war and his chin would truly be tested. Interesting fight because Froch could stop Benn too, because he has power but more importantly, is an unorthodox puncher. Benn could take shots from big punches all day from guys like Kessler, who hits harder than Froch, but his punches are obvious, whereas Froch's aren't and those shots would bother Benn the most. Closest fight, I think.

    Abraham is too passive and would take a battering every time he covered up. The problem for Abraham is, Benn won't back down when Abraham unleashes his shots. I imagine Abraham loses all 4 opening rounds then when the fight becomes open, one men gets stopped in the next 3 rounds.

    Green gets slaughtered.

    Dirrell wouldn't fight Benn because he would be terrified. Assuming he did, he'd get stopped within 4 rounds.

    WARD WOULD BEAT HIM.

    DIRRELL HAS THE STYLE BUT I THINK BENN WOULD PROBALY EVENTUALLY CATCH HIM.

    Ill take Benn over the ones. Him and Abraham would be intresting.:bbb
