        Eubank would beat Pavlik. Benn vs Pavlik is pretty much a toss-up, Miranda would be beat by both.

          Someone is getting knocked out in that fight.

          Would be epic.

          I don't think Pavlik is as tough as Benn though.

            oh ****s sake they have achieved more than the people who hate on them ever will u cant critisise a fighter unless u truly know the feeling it is to step into the ring i doubt many people here were ever much good as boxers and they feel better by slagging off the men who were brave enough to go for it

              regardless he is tough enough to make it competitive and give Benn all he could handle

                on the height & style etc

                Benn did good against McClellan in the early rounds cause McClellan had a poor defence probably down to the fact he had a good chin & was more worried about Knocking u out than what was coming back ,he took some thunderous shots against Julian Jackson and just walked through them

                Benn definetly had a style that was akward for McClellan though that crouching low style rolling and coming up with Hooks etc was giving G-Man nightmares even before the injury accured ,however McClellan's power was at the end of his shots he liked to throw bombs from the outdise cause that is where his power was ,Pavlik has power on the inside & outside IMO and he is a better fighter inside than McClellan and he has a better workrate than G-Man this is why i dont think the Height disadvantage would work to Benn favour in this fight like it did against Gerald

                  another thing as well was G-Man was getting to close to Benn and smoothering himself he stepped back cause he knew His power was at the end of his punches & he was 'nt all that great on the inside from what i saw either ,But that is when Benn would capitlise with his low style McCellan was finding it hard to see Benn's Hooks coming around his guard especially when he was backingup to find his range

                  Pavlik is different he is good on the inside and has power at close quarters so he does'nt have to take a backward step to find the range to land his power cause his power is delivered from inside or outside IMO

                    Benn was one dimensional and if you could make it past the 5th or 6th round with him, then you would usually have a shot at knocking him out. He was a decent fighter but i would not consider him great or ever elite. He was mainly just a huge puncher.

                    Benn vs Barkley

                      i voted eubank was over rated by accident. I think he was very under rated as was nigel benn to a point. Eubank never made waves in america, so he is under rated. People will of heard the name known a bit about him, but seen hardly any of his fights. If he fought bigger names and didn't talk down the actual sport so much he could of been an absolute legend.
