    Just answered a thread to the question could Benn have beaten a prime Kessler and I said no as his KO`s got less as he moved up in weight, but then I realised more of his fights at super middle were title fights, is that the reason he seemed to lose a lot of power compared to his early devastating days at middle?

    Not sure on the KO % but I do think he evolved and became a better rounded boxer as a Super Middle
