    Era for era who would have won this clash? I`ve started this thread because someone posted a vid showing Benn`s awesome power at 160 in response to my thread about Lem punching harder than Charlo.

    Benn easy money. Benn fought some of the best in arguably the most stacked MW era. Both Charlos are pedestrian as **** in comparison.

    Jermallo hasn't ever fought a puncher, let alone a wrecking machine like a prime Benn who could punch holes in castle walls. Benn hits way harder than all those sub KO 50% 154 pounders he's been dining exclusively on, way way harder.

    I don`t rate Benn that highly at 160 despite him beating a killer like G-man at 168.

    I don't think fighters today are near the class of 80s/90s - there was a never-ending conveyor belt. Today there's these Charlo boys and that's it. It's not even a fight in all honesty.
