    Pretty much this^.

    I feel a certain inevitability in Benn catching Martinez, with the proverbial Fat Lady singing at the end of it.

    That is bizarre, name ten fighters that could have beaten him then, I don`t see what was so great about 90`s fighters, Toney maybe and McCallum, but the rest were pretty flawed at middle, Martinez would have definately been among the top 5 at 160 at least.

    Martinez`s constant jab would keep Benn off-balance.

    Galvano nearly stopped Benn at 168 though.

    Martinez by decision. But Benn ranks higher as a fighter.
