    Wow you brits overrate Benn...Dont blame ya, he was good fun to watch.

    He would likely beat Tito more often than not aswell.

    I'd favor Benn, but this is far from being some type of mismatch. I dont think Tito gets enough credit for the way he destroyed Joppy. NO ONE before, or afrer wrecked Joppy like that... not even Bute. Tito still had devestating power at 160, he just ran into an atg in Hopkins. And Nigel Benn is no Hopkins.

    Of the two Benn is the bigger puncher though, and is the naturally bigger man... but theres a real chance he could become reckless and walk into Tito's hook and get KTFO himself. I mean Doug Dewitt dropped him with a counter hook. If its Tito landing that same shot, Benn woulda been in far bigger trouble.

    As it stands, I'd say Benn KO 5. But the chances of Benn getting laid out himself are real.

    They damn sure do! Some of them talk about him as if he were a prime Tyson.
