    Dundee had a very tricky awkward defense that I see giving Benn trouble, its important to note Benn didnt achieve the greatest results at 160

    I believe Benn would decimate Dundee...He wouldn't keep getting up with Benn.

    Do you really believe Benn could improve on Steeles performance?

    Dundee had 150 something fights and was only stopped by Freddie near the end of his career, Dundee had a broken jaw and was down 10 or so times and was still stopped on his feet.

    Benn was a huge puncher but he wasnt anywhere near as good a middleweight as Steele and wasnt as good an overall puncher either

    Benn didnt have great results at 160, he lost to Watson and Eubank, he decimated a come forward crude fighter like Barkley but even just a solid fighter with a good defense like Sanderline Williams was able to last the distance and give Benn a really close fight, I dont see why Benn should be so favored to "decimate" Dundee and even one up a seriously impressive performance by a top 10 ATG middle and one of the best middleweight punchers theres been

    In the Steele fight, Dundee stood right in front of him, hands low, and no movement. If Dundee was in this form against Benn...IMO Benn would blow him out easily. Even against Yarosz, in his haste, Dundee stood straight up, hands low even when in the opponent's range, threw wide punches and became wild when hit, never attempted to cut off the ring, he followed Yarosz around...and often squared up against Teddy...Iran Barkley would also KO Dundee IMO.
