Who comes out on top in the battle of the nepos? I could see this being a pretty big draw; I could also see Hearn going for it. Tim is a big name Down Under, and after a couple of one-sided obliterations at world level, Hearn could eye up Tim as a potential opponent to boost the profile of Eggs Benny internationally and get an actual legit name on his resume that isn't dehydrated to the point of death. It could be a great fight for Tim to spring himself back into the conversation after a couple of horrible losses. I think it could generate a lot of revenue if it were marketed right, either in Australia or the UK. What do we say? I think Tszyu would still have enough to win on points and come through a few scares, even if he has fallen off a cliff. I don't rate Benn at all, especially defensively, but I don't rate Tim that much higher either, especially defensively. I'd say this one has serious potential as a FOTY candidate, but feel free to call me a moron in the replies.
A couple of years ago Tim would've bashed him now it could be closer but I still favor Tszyu by a significant margin he is just the better all around fighter and has fought better competition than Benn.
I'll take Tzyu if he'll actually try to not arrogantly lead with his face and they don't try to sell it to me as a PPV.
I don’t think Benn is very good honestly. It’s a 50/50 and would edge towards Tim if he isn’t completely mentally finished.
Styles make fights. The version of Benn from the Eubank rematch was in constant motion, jabbing, feinting, moving in and out and he has the power to hurt Tzsyu along with superior speed. The size difference isn't that big, Benn wins this in a good fight, Tim isn't the same after Bakhram
