    Benn I believe was the better fighter.

    Benn by TKO in 9.

    Easy.

    Benn would win this by KO / TKO in the middle rounds.

    Carter really wasn't in the same class as Benn.

    Great fight..But Carter not in the class of Benn? An easy fight for Benn? Don't agree with that.

    He only lost to very good fighters in his prime...most of them greats. He was stopped once on a cut..The man had an excellent beard and frightful power. The guy destroyed Emile Griffith in 1 round for christs sake..A man who is a far superior fighter to Benn.

    Benn could hurt him but Carter could hurt Benn and I think he could put him away.

    I think Benn was still learning his craft at middleweight and Id pick the best version of Carter to stop him in the midrounds...It would be a good action fight though..I dont have a problem with someone going with Benn in this one as they both possess a style that the other likes to fight against, but Rubin could fight.

    Carter was certainly a hurricane but Benn would knock him out. Late stoppage.

    Benn was the better fighter I see him stopping Carter late.
