Nigel Benn vs Arthur Abraham @ 160

Nigel Benn TKO 10 in a great fight

 

Whilst its all opinion, I really have to wonder If any of those picking AA have ever seen Benn fight. The gap between those two is so large I have issues with the thinking behind a AA victory.

 

no it isn't. benn was extremely vulnerable at 160. very dangerous yes, but also ripe for the picking.

 

would you say he's at the level of a watson of eubank ?

 

maybe, maybe not. but he's a horrible styles match for benn imo.

 

Nigel Benns power is on a higher level to Mirandas. AA has never faced anyone as relentless as Benn but he has a great chance because Benn does badly against slick counter fighters.

 

Not at 160 he wasn't. Or at 168 for that matter. Great style, seriously lacked substance at 160.

 

Well, I'd hardly call AA slick

 

Oh for the love of God.....

Benn was a dynamo without a brain who gassed himself after 7 rounds.
AA has a great defense apart from when he opens up. I'm sorry, but the 160 version of Benn would be too damn stupid to win this.

 

Might have lacked substance but was in two of the british domestic MW fights in Eubank and Watson in the space of two years.

 

The Watson fight was overrated. Watson was never in trouble and simply outclassed Benn.

 

Wouldn't say it was overrated because benn had him on the ropes especially in the early rounds.

 

Benn is getting a little ' long in the tooth ' by now so I will go with Abraham :roll:
