    yeah i am inclined to agree but was thinking would benn's more modern style be an arguement used by anybody

    I think even though he has a perfect style for Fitz, he is hittable and comes forward leaving great counter punch oppertunities.

    I think it's irrelevant personally given it'll be a war anyway. I'll take Fitzsimmons given he was stronger, certainly as powerful and had the better chin.

    Benn would beat him at 168, stopping him late. Just to create some debate I'm not sure that with the increased knowledge in Boxing that Fitz's power would be comparable to Gerald McClellans rather than George Foremans.

    Benn was dangerous when he was hurt, but I think Bob is too clever to be caught by anything big.
