    OK, OK, Benn was for sure (Benns last 2 fights), and I don't know much about the SD he got over Eubank ( this was mid career). I should have thought more that it might strike a nerve with the good posters, but damn bro, look at the poll options.

    I didn't say a prediction, but Pavlik could stand a chance atleast ffs.

    Surely any objective person can see that.

    Titan just pisses people off on purpose to get people out of character, I have respect for both Benn and Eubank, cool?

    Go Collins!!! lol.

    Sure got some reactions with that one. Was only aimed at TITan. But Pav would not be no easy win, tell ya' that much.
     
  3. Gotta go with Benn. Benn would have KO'd Calzaghe so he would have had enough to defeat Pavlik.

    Benn would have knocked out Pavlik, but not a first round blow-out like some have said. Pavlik does have the power that perhaps would have troubled Benn, but Benn also had great heart and was probably more dangerous when hurt. He had taken punches from people who hit as hard if not harder than Pavlik.

    Also Pavlik hasn't faced anyone who hit nearly as hard as Benn. If Benn had got Pavlik in a position that Taylor got him into, and he almost definately would, Benn would finish him.

    Not at 160lbs he didn't. His chin was poor at that weight, and it was only when he moved up and faced McLellan that we saw his chin improve.

    Miranda has similar power.

    Poll is garbage but you have the right idea. I say Pav does well until the mid round where Benn begins to get his swag on. Benn was a great fighter and tough as nails, but Pav is very good himself and will imporved. At this point in Pav's career a PRIME Benn is just too much, too good and too vicous!

    Dont be ridiculous. Benn is on a different level to Miranda in terms of punch power and is a much higher calibre fighter.

    Miranda has some real power bro...but in terms of "Calibre"....you are 100% correct. There is not questioning Benn is on a completely different level.

    yeah right, by ****, its not your only dumb post, it seems.

    Benn's chin at MW + Power of Pavlik at MW = Benn by ****?

    yeah right, lets all act like pavlik is a punk because he got schooled by a legend, and that he has no chance vs Benn
