Tony Sibson v Nigel Benn

This was done fairly recently. At Middleweight I cannot see past Sibson.

Benn climbs off the canvas and KO's Sibson in a very good shootout.

 

While both men have power, the tiebreaker here is Sibbo's faster hands. I think he lands the cleaner shots and either takes a UD or late TKO.

 

Sibson by tko

The difference is that Tony has a defense while Benn has none. Benn would catch air most of the night.

Sibbo who is probably at least as strong, patiently & methodically picks him apart with jabs, crosses, & hooks to the head & body in an absolutely brilliant performance. tko between the 5th & 8th

 

benn banged harder and was fitter.benn by ko

 

Benn is a little too quick. I see this similar to the Dewitt fight which some might not agree with.

 

Well Sibson at his best was a fair bit better than a washed up Doug DeWitt, so yes you may well be out on your own again MAG.

 

fitter? I doubt it

During Hagler's reign, Benn would fall into the middle to lower half of the pack

He would give Kinchen a tough fight

Benn's chin was inferior to Tony's, plus too many holes in his defense

that would cost him the fight. Tony's fast hands would slice N dice him

 

atsch

I guess u just had to be there

VERY poor comparison BTW. Dewitt was a tough crowd pleaser, nothing more, and never made it to the status of a top contender

 

benn was a hell of a lot fiter than sibson and was one of the most diligent of fighters were fitness was concerned.
i can remember lottie mwale beating him as well as eddie smith, who wasnt world class and kevin finnegan who was.
benn wins

 

how would u prove something like that? are u saying Sibson wasn't fit? if not, how fit did he have to be? Do u think Mickey Duff let him climb into the ring in improper physical condition? if so, how did he manage to beat Minter, Davison, & Collins who, was favored to beat him?

btw, the loss to Mwale was well before Tony cracked the top ten.
