    Ward?
    Kessler?
    Abraham?
    Dirrell?

    F'n Hell, Benn might actually be able to crack Frochys chin :think What a tear up that would be!

    Bute (Benn suckers him into a war and takes him out inside 10. Benn would go down though)

    Froch (aaaaaaaahhhhhh as much as I wanna say Froch, his wildness would get the better of him I reckon. He wouldn't box Benn as he did Abraham, it'd be more a Kessler type performance)

    Ward (I could see Benn being in real trouble here with the yank's variety. Pressure wins all though in this. Benn on points)

    Kessler (The Dane would be one bloody man at the end of a 116-112 for Benn)

    Abraham (Benn by TKO 3)

    Dirrell (Dirrell would quit on his stool - end of)

    And how about Eubank against the same bunch?

    I'd love a Eubank - Froch press conference!

    Froch vs Benn ****ing hell....that's a fight based on pure machismo. If British Boxing needed a huge fight and guaranteed entertainment it would be that! both men leave it all in ring!!!

    I always wonder how Benn and Eubank would do in this current division and i say very well....Imagine Bute dealing with Benn?....lad would have nightmares in there. He wouldn't be able to keep the relentless no fear pressure of Benn.

    Them guys are different breed to this current crop...there will and desire to win was something else and in adversity Benn showed what he was willing to go through..not many men can do what he did against McClellan.

    Benn would have to take some, but he'd get to Bute and break him.

    The only fighter I see Benn struggling with is Froch...:deal

    Bute - Benn by TKO in the 8th or 9th...:yep

    Froch - In a slugfest, I see Carl Froch drawing Nigel Benn onto the sucker punch that makes all the difference, to end the fight with a flurry of unstoppable shots to the body and head...:yep It reminds me of that great fight he had with Nicky Piper...:good

    Ward - This fight reminds me of a tough tough night with Steve Collins, lots of twists and turns, but I see Nigel Benn coming through by the skin of his teeth...:nut

    Kessler - I see Benn winning this by a whisker, 115-113, he rallies late in the fight following some very close rounds in the middle of the fight...:yep

    Abraham - I see Benn smashing this guy the way he smashed Barkley...:yep

    Dirrel - Dirrell gets knocked out by the 5th at the latest...:good

    Froch is MADE for Benn.

    Benn would tko him within 6.

    Benn took the VERY BEST of what a PRIME G-Man had to offer. And we all knew how that panned out in the end....

    I think Kessler gives Benn fits.

    When you think of it he could do it all - apart from his left hook which is very poor. His right hand and uppercut were excellent and he could both box and have a tear up too.

    He got the better of Calzaghe and Froch slugging :yep

    Bute- Benn win in the mid-late rounds

    Froch- Benn on a close decision in an absolute war

    Ward- Reckon Benn would have his moments but would probably lose around 116-112 IMO

    Kessler- This is probably the toughest one to call for me, I'm on the fence

    Abraham- Benn wins this in the mid rounds

    Dirrell- Reckon Dirrell would pile up the points early, but Benn would start to come in the mid rounds and win in about the 10th or 11th

    Dirrel would find a reason not to get in the ring with Benn...

    :lol::lol: so true. I can see Dirrell doing something even more ridiculous then he has. If he ran from Froch....**** knows what he would of done if he found himself in same ring as Benn. Cintron dive maybe... :think

    Dirrell and Bute wouldn't be seen in the same continent as Benn.

    If we're presuming he performs at his peak, and all these fighters perform at the best we've seen them, I think Benn would beat all except maybe Ward who could neutralize and frustrate him. He'd stop Kessler by the way.
