    Will Mike use his range and speed to full use and box circles around Nigel, or will the brutal punishment of the Dark Destroyer be too much?

    Ive always maintained that theres only a handful of middleweights in HISTORY that could beat the Nunn of the Tate fight.

    And Nigel Benn sure as hell aint of them.

    Nunn would totally outclass Benn and stop him.

    I think Nunn probably wins but Nunn backing up in straight lines with his hands down isn't a good move against a stalker like Benn who may be better suited to chasing his man down than Toney was stylistically

    Toney broke Nunn down by being SKILLED and TOUGH. Benn at 160 had primitive skills, and a dodgy chin. He gets countered to death and stopped by a techncian the calibre of Nunn.
