    Turpin wins at 160, Benn fought on his front foot all the time 100 mph but the 168 version was cannier and could stop the Licker

    This would have been an exciting fight! Each had the ability to stop the other. Benn was very aggressive and a bit reckless at 160, he could till catch Turpin but chances are it is Benn who gets caught. Turpin by stoppage after countering one of Benn's wild shots would be my pick at 160. Early or late I have no idea though.

    I think the more measured approach that Benn had when he fought at 168 would work better for him. So at that weight I might pick Benn to win. It's a close fight at both weights to, and I wouldn't be surprised regardless who won.

    Turpin would take a pre Watson Nigel Benn out to sea...and drown him in a brutal fight.
