    Roy would have his hands full with this guy....he punches a lot harder than Hopkins.

    Can Roy the speedster hold off this Destroyer?

    Benn was extremely exciting and devastating if he could fight his fight. Roy in his prime never let anybody fight their kind of fight, nobody applied pressure successfully against him. Too fast, reflexes out of this world, brutal ouncher if he wanted to be.

    I still say that Calzaghe would bring out the best in Roy ar 168, Roy would win, but it would be a fight and not just an exhibition.

    Benn is absolutley made for Jones IMO. He comes forward with out much caution and often with an improper or static guard. He empoys upperbody movement but it's pretty patterened. I pick Jones in two or three rounds. I say Watson and Eubank are tougher fights.

    However, Benn does have that punch, and so there's always that chance.

    Jones would knock Nigel out, early. 99 times out of 100.

    Jones KO 2

    Jones would've beat the **** outta Benn in a VERY one sided fight.
