Benn: "Calzaghe Would Have Beaten Myself, Leonard, Hagler, And Hearns"

Calzaghe would slap Benn for 8-9 rounds and then get KTFO.

He would have no chance against prime Roy Jones Jr, what advantages does he have?

Dont think hed beat B-hop properly either.

 

A very nice thing for a truely great fighter to say about another.

I'm glad the plaudits are raining in from all directions for one of the finest British fighters of all time!

 

Joe is a solid fighter.

 

OMG, reading some of the comments on this thread...atsch This forum is REALLY going to ****.

 

Stick to the Bible-bashing Nige, you're talking utter shite.

 

I like - born again - Nigel, a lot, but some of the things he comes out with nowadays are really out there.

 

most boxers just dont have a clue.

 

Did he really say that? :huh

Has Benn gone a bit mental?

 

Nigel Benn has changed in demeanour. He is no longer the Dark Destroyer, he is now a born again Christian.

Nigel Benn is a shadow of his former self..

Do you really think "THE DARK DESTROYER" would say this.? No way...

 

Benn in his fights with Eubank couldn't even drop him ONCE. While Eubank KO'd glass chin Benn. Eubank had one of the best chins in the history of boxing but a pre bad-hands Calzaghe dropped him with one punch.

 

Chris Eubank ran into the punch, and got up laughing. Chris Euabnk also took the fight at short notice and came down from Light Heavyweight....

In weeks...

 

and in 2 fights Benn couldn't drop him once. (Calzaghe knocked down eubank twice, also in the 9th round from a left hand)

 

fool

 

Kinda weird Benn offers an opinion and he gets called punch drunk etc. by people on a forum. Now im not saying I think Calzaghe is the greatest but i reckon Benn's opinion is interesting. Dude that wrote:

I just think the opinion of a 'Christian' might be more neutral than that of the 'dark destroyer' trying to promote fights etc.

I kind of believe when it comes to Benn evaluating his chances against Calzaghe he is probably quite knowledgeable.

 

Benn has been a fan of Calzaghe is 1997, he heaped lots of praise on him since then.
