    I think one thing is for sure, this fight would be a bit special. Do you think Froch's chin could hold up to Benn's power? Would Benn's heart keep him from getting stopped?

    I reckon Benn would win by accumulation stoppage in around 8 or 9.

    Froch wouldnt get away with leaving his chin out with a puncher like Benn.

    Even granite cracks when you hit it hard enough, often enough. Would be one to watch though.

    **** me it would be a war. Gone for Benn ko. He loved fighters like Froch who would have a tear up. Benn would hav a few dodgy moments though and woul probabally chin froch off the ropes as he was comin in for the finish.

    With Froch's "defense" the way it is, Benn would murder him.

    Benn can close the distance and Carls work is too sloppy in close. Carl has a few cute moves like shoving guys off to get range, right uppercut etc but overall Benn can accumulate points inside. If Carls power isn't telling and his chin survives then he'll lose on points.

    What sort of fight is this? Froch just got knocked down in the third round against Taylor, and contrary to what people are saying he was dazed. His legs looked a little unsteady at numerous times in the fight. He wouldn't even make it out of round 3 against Benn, and it wouldn't be because of his chin.

    Benn by mid rounds stoppage.

    Froch had the power to hurt Benn, but Benn was quicker with his footwork and hit harder, also his combinations where more tight and he was quicker off the draw.

    I actually could see it being a blow out for Benn.

    Benn would finish him within four and look like SRL in the process.

    Doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Nigel.

    Would be a good tear up and I think Froch would tighten his defense up if he fought Benn. Still Benn to win UD.

    Froch is a good fighter, but not in the same league as Benn.

    Benn by late (ish) stoppage. Benn wasn't the wrecking machine at 168 that he was a 160 and Froch has a decent chin but I think Benn would get him out of there sometime after the 6th.

    Benn KO by the mid rounds imo...froch was weary of taylors power for much of the fight, Benn was a monster...would be a war though!
