    Benn's probably a bit old at this stage

    Benn at his best his hard to back against.

    ps he is my favourite fighter though so maybe a little biased.

    Benn beats him up early while abrahams trying to warm up on his way to a UD

    Benn's legs often went when he got clocked cleanly. Abraham just waits for the right moment to drop the hammer. Abraham wins this - his defence and inside strength means Benn won't have all his own way, plus Abraham's ability to explode into life as soon as his opponent tries to reset means he;d catch Benn eventually.

    He wouldn't let him off the hook the way others did.

    abraham would be ok when his guards up high.when he decides he wants to fight and hurts benn what happens then? benn was always dangerous when he was hurt and could hurt anyone in return.i can't make my mind up but i'm 100% sure who i'd rather watch.

    I think we go all gooey when looking back on the Benn, Eubank era and overrate them.

    I think Abraham knocks him the **** out.

    Benn vs abs is a close call and would test out abs chin but I see abs taking benn out when he decided to start hitting back. Eubank is another story though I think eubanks uppercut was made for hitting abs when thrown from the outside.

    Abraham.

    Though it could be similar either to Abraham v Miranda 1 (I would pick Benn here) or Abraham v Miranda 2.

    In fact anythign could happen. Benn strugled with the guard of Watson. Abraham even harder to hit clean. The 1989-90 Benn likely knackers himself out and gets knocked out by a "slow starting" aka posied and controlled Abraham.

    aBRAHAM'S VERY TIGHT DEFENCE (oops, caps) and power means he would punch when Benn wasn't. Also, his very good chin means that when benn goes into danger mode it would negate Benn's fight ending power. I say Abraham stops him, clean, around the 11th.

    a prime benn would not fight the way he did against watson and any reference to the watson fight is a bad one. benn would attack quickly but he would go to the body and draw abraham into a war early and yes get hurt/kd along the way but in my opinion would probably win in the third in a longer more exciting version of the benn/blade fight.abraham would not be ko'd but stopped on his feet after multiple kd's
