    I'm aware that Tito's record at middleweight isn't great but he always fared best against aggressive fighters and I think it's safe to say Benn was one of those.

    This fight would be a guaranteed classic war but who do you think would win?

    Very difficult. But the G-Man hit harder than Trinidad. Benn survives and close the show in a thriller.

    Toss up fight but Benn should get the nod for surviving Gerald's bombs.

    I see Nigel getting decked a few times as per usual but i recken he'll get Tito late on by sucking him down into the depths of the trenches for the TKO & no fight with Benn involved is going to be 4 the feint hearted:smoke

    Benn has wayyyyyyyyyyy more power than BHOP so I expect him to probably stop him in the mid rounds.

    Also Trinidad is slightly disadvantaged at this weight so maybe it is not a fair fantasy match up. Essentially Trinidad had 2 fights at MW but he was never a real MW.

    Tito is too small for 160. and would loose to benn, eubanks, bute, kessler, taylor, pavlik, hopkins, rjj, toney, collins, larsen and so on...

    Nigel is to much of a beast for a career welter, Benn by vicious knockout maybe after being buzzed himself

    Possible if not straight up likely that the eventual winner has to get off the canvas a few times. Great matchup, I lean to Tito.

    benn definitely the bigger puncher, but he had a wild style with absolutely no defense, worse than tito's. tito, on the other hand, had the accumalitive type that would stop opponents in their tracks and had great body shots with shorter punches. still, i think tito's shots won't have the same effect as they did at welter. benn drops tito early, but with his horrible defense gets stunned quite afew times himself. i think benn wins on a decision or late tko.

    Benn really wins this poll easier than I thought he would.
