    Are there comparisons in their styles?

    No. Benn was far more refined and a much better boxer.

    heresay.

    not saying i disagree but don't be so dismissive about any fighter who never fought world class calibre opponents......

    it's an insult to those that do.

    When Mayorga stepped up he gets exposed but is dangerous still, same with Benn?

    save the cheap smilies with me please.

    what i'm saying in reply to your next post is it's easy to look good against lesser opponents than if you step up and fight anyone.

    Well that was an accurate snap shot of my face right about reading your post

    How is that relevant to this thread? I honestly don't understand what you are trying to get at...

    Benn and Mayorga have both fought world class opponents.

    Not sure what your getting at.

    i just gave my two cents worth.

    you're comparing an exciting (but limited fighter) in mayorga to a talented fighter who's closest encounter with james toney was via satellite trading insults on the BBC with nigel benn.

    like i said to start with...i'm not suggesting benn is a lesser fighter, but i'm not prepared to bury mayorga on this one simply based on the differences in their career paths.
