Pavlik-Benn at 168

Edison Miranda and Nigel Benn?

Kill yourself.

 

Spoken like an unbiased American.

 

I don't buy what you are saying at all. I am happy to admit that I have seen far more Benn fights than Pavlik's. However, the young Benn was a very naive fighter who thought he could blow away the opposition and was not tactically astute enough to beat higher level opponents. The Benn post Mclellan was shot. The period inbetween, Benn was a hell of a fighter that had an indomitable spirit, skills and serious KO power. Pavlik has been hurt badly by people who did not have Benn's power. In addition, if this had turned into a war, ala the Mclellan fight, that night proved really that Benn, by that point in his career, was likely to come out of such an encounter on top. Pavlik punches nowhere near as hard as Mclellan and, judging by G Man's unbelievably brave display that night, I doubt if Pavlik's chin is comparable either.

Perhaps Pavlik would beat Benn but my opinion has nothing to do with European bias. I also see very few similarities with Edison Miranda. They both punch very hard but Benn has a decent resume and beat some very good fighters, and some in their own back yard. Miranda has been found out at the highest level and and has arguably a weak chin. Mclellan was supposed to blow Benn away and he clearly punched harder than Benn but Benn proved on that night that he had the fighting spirit to come through such a war. He could definitely take Pavlik's shots. Perhaps Pavlik could take his but I'm inclined to think that this would not be the case.

 

Spoken like a typical biased Euro.
Thanks for proving my point.

 

If you watch Benn fight in his prime he ad great movement from his waist, and bob left to right under punches and come up through with hooks and uppercuts.

I think benn stops kelly but in a war, not a 100% gimme for Benn as he can be buzzed watch the logan fight.

 

No, its just completely and totally ridiculous.

Benn has wins over DeWitt in his backyard, Barkley, McClellan, hard fought wars with Eubank and solid wins inbetween. Miranda has done ****, and got knocked out both times he fought a world class contender.

That aside, if you actually remove your boyfriends balls from your eyes and watch there are virtually no similarities.
