    Its impossible to call TBH anything can happen with two huge punchers. But Benn wasn't quite as good at 160 and was more crude, Jackson had better punch technique. So if you put a gun to my head I'll give the edge to Jackson based on that, but anything could happen honestly.

    Both are murderous punchers. Both were aggressive
    hunters. Jackson was better skilled, with better
    technique. Jackson was a better counter puncher also,
    a key advantage between the two.
    Jackson should be able to counter Benn's looping
    sometimes telegraphed punches ,catch him clean
    finish the show with in 5 rds of battle. Jackson
    probably would be put on his ass at least once.
    But his better skills should win the day.
    But I wouldn't be surprised if Benn lands a shot
    that lays Jackson out for the full 10 count.
    It would be that type of fight.

    Benn would destroy him, and that’s not hyperbole or a play on a nickname.
