    In the limited amount of complete Canto fights I've watched I dont think I remember him taking a step back. LoL
    I'm exaggerating but damn he was a mini locomotive.

    The Prince knocked Kelley out going backwards.
    I'm not sure if his feet were even planted.

    Robinson all the way. Maybe not the same thing but Benn was pretty dangerous when backed up to the ropes

    But Benn wasn`t moving backwards he was stationary, it`s more effective when your moving backwards and punching because you taking yourself out of the danger zone and if they follow they will be hit, Fury should have done this while moving backwards in a straight line v Wilder.

    Hence i said 'maybe not the same thing' :) . Slightly off topic but Benn was very dangerous when backed up to the ropes. You just knew there were a few haymakers being loaded up
