    Valdez takes him a majority of the time, especially at 160.

    Valdez's superior chin and staying power is the difference IMO.

    Valdez withstands an early onslaught by Benn and then comes back to KO him.

    Exactly. Valdez isn't going anywhere and was always in top condition. The guy that wilts and falls apart is Benn and this would look like Steve Collins except against a bigger hitter.

    What a fight this would be!!!


    It's Valdez's chin that is the difference; unlike so many others he manages to hurt Benn and keep him down.
