Carl Froch vs Nigel Benn

[Tom Cruise]

Benn mentioned on Ringside that he would have loved to have fought Carl Froch due to his style.

It would have been a war, who takes it at Supermiddle?

Froch breaks his down & stops him late.

I could see Froch's jab giving Benn all sorts of problems.

I also see Froch's chin, stamina and straight punching koing Benn.

Both could have stopped each other I think and as Benn was my favourite fighter I'm going to be unashamedly biased and say Benn by KO

Love Nigel but he was not the destroyer he was at Middleweight. Slow poison at Super Middleweight.

Carl would have broke him down in a really good fight.

Taylor was not a destroyer at SMW either, and yet :

Yeah, but Benn doesn't have the skill to get inside without getting hit. Swing and roundabouts.

Its not biased, Benn has the speed and power to hurt anyone. Even though he didnt hit as hard at Super middle he was a better boxer (paced himself, used head movement etc) than early in his career. So a Benn win definitely isnt out of the question.

One things for sure both would go out on their shields if they had to (and Benn did vs McClellan).

Two of my all-time favourites.....

....but if push came to shove, a badly bruised and dazed Benn survives some brutal knockdowns and finds an inplausible/miraclous way to suddenly unleash a massive barrage of punches in the ninth round to stop Carl.

Regrettably, Calzaghe then beats the winner on points.

That was an oddly specific prediction
