The_Demon 03-12-2010, 08:08 AM your right it would have been a hell of a match up id pick calzaghe to win a close and hard fought decision i could really imagine them tearing into each other though Southpaw Stinger 03-12-2010, 09:23 AM Benn. Am I biased? Absolutely. Would I change? Absolutely not. - v e t - 03-12-2010, 09:24 AM calzaghe (no racist) Postman prat 03-12-2010, 11:15 AM Listen,how many losses do I have again? Oh,that's right,None! Listen,at the end of the day,I'm undefeated.I've never lost a fight. Did you see what I did to Chris Eubank? Eubank also beat benn which means that benn,like Eubank wouldn't have stood a chance against me,isn't it? benn even admitted that I would have spanked him like all the previous yanks who thought they had it. Jim Jeffries 03-12-2010, 11:23 AM Woulda been a good scrap, for sure. I think Calzaghe outworks him to a UD. Sugarj 03-12-2010, 11:50 AM I go for Calzaghe by points in a hard fought fight of the year type contest. I'd argue that while Benn's best victory was against McClellan, I wouldn't say that 1995 was Benn's peak. I think he was closer to his peak circa 1992-93. Others might argue that his peak came in the late 80s as a middleweight against the likes of DeWitt and Berkeley. sonnyboyx2 03-12-2010, 01:46 PM if Sugar Boy Malinga could dish-out a boxing lesson to Benn then Calzaghe would most proberbly win via late TKO Toney616 03-12-2010, 03:09 PM if Sugar Boy Malinga could dish-out a boxing lesson to Benn then Calzaghe would most proberbly win via late TKO I would go with Calzaghe by ud.. Sugarj 03-12-2010, 06:40 PM Malinga outpointed the 'post McClellan' Benn. Remember that in 1992 Benn outpointed Malinga first when Benn was closer to his prime. HitmanHattonAY 03-12-2010, 11:42 PM Calzaghe would have won !! bojangles1987 03-13-2010, 06:15 AM Man this would be good. I'd go with Calzaghe by close UD but he would have to work his ass off for it. Stallone60 03-13-2010, 06:50 AM I would go with calzaghe ud but benn would of gave him a good fight! hookoutofhell 03-13-2010, 07:40 AM benn has gone on record himself saying that calzaghe could have beat anyone from the early 80's/late 90's era. imo the first few rounds would hvae been a tear up but from there on in calzaghe would have schooled the tiring benn. possibly even catching him with something to KO him later on in the fight. |
