Nigel Benn vs Gennady Golovkin

GGG of course .. that guy is unbeatable! He is like Vitali.

 

GGG is a good fighter, but definitely hyped up. Nigel Benn by ud

 

Benn by KO.

Their power would be about equal, but Benn was much more aggressive. Also, without checking, I'm pretty sure that Benn would have a significant reach advantage, and that would be the difference right there since they are / were both primarily "outside" fighters.


Full disclosure: Nigel Benn is one of my all-time favorite fighters. So .....

 

Benn for now. But I have high hopes for GGG. Guy just is technically really good and attacks body as equally as head. Benn would find a place for his right tho GGG IS hittable so really whoever has better chin and lands first. But Benn is more proven at this point.

 

Could go either way, 2 big hitters, but i'm going with Golovkin because he has never been KD in his boxing as a pro or am, and has shown more against better opposition.

 

Better opposition than Benn ?:huh

 

Benn will forever win every ESB poll by KO.

 

benn ko

 

Benn would steam him.

 

Neither Benn or Golovkin were/are "outside" fighters.Even the somewhat more reserved, economical Benn of the early-mid 90's still did his best work at mid-range, and Golovkin would probably fall into that category (as a mid-range fighter) too.

 

hook would smash ggg head off

 

Benn p4p greatest poll winner on ESB.

 

Better opposition than Eubank, Barkley, Collins, Mcclellan, Malinga and Watson?:good None of GGG's opponents could hold a candle to these guys.

Id predict Benn by mid round ko in a great fight, too much power, and he knew how consistently land it. GGG's also never face a fighter that would stand up to his power, Benn would do that and more.

 

decision?

No doubt, this fight would end in a KO.
