joe would have been to smart for benn, if he traded though he'd lose but if he fought in the way he did against lacy nigell would have been outclassed much like watson did to him.
noooo. i still think benn would win . KO in 9
benn was to wild in the ring and he struggled against a good boxer, watson outclassed him, sugar boy malinga beat him too.
no benn was an awsome puncher. he also had very good boxing skills and in my view would beat calzaghe. I think eubank would have beat calzaghe if he was primed
nobodys saying been was a bad boxer he just wasn't as good as calzaghe.

I'll make it easy for anyone getting involved in these "who would have won?" threads:

If one of the two fighters is Hatton or Calzaghe, then the correct answer is either Hatton or Calzaghe.

Right, Tommy? :rolleyes:
correct.........
styles make fights people. I think benn would have beaten him.
explain to me how you think benn would have won the fight.
Benn could take some serious puishment. He proved that in the mcclelan fight which he still won. Dont get me wrong i do like joe but styles do make fights. Benn had a very aggresive and was one of the hardest hitters for a supermiddle. I think the fight would be close for the first 6 rounds both fighters fighting toe to toe, but benn would finish joe. Joe calzaghe does seem to throw wild and untidey punches. Ive witnessed him through 8 strait punches strait on and landing once. benn had great head movement and i think he could bob and weave to land a big hook.
benn did have great power and a great movement but he also had stamina issues and wouldn't have been able to fight at joe's pace for 12 rounds. you say joe would be ko'd? why joe's showed nothing so far but a granite chin and has never looked like being stopped never mind beatin. benn couldn't fight 12 rounds at the pace he fought he was out on his feet in the mcclelan fight more than once but his heart kept him in the fight. remember mcclelan was only a middleweight not a big 168 guy like joe is. im a huge been fan also i thought he was great value for money and had some big wins the 2 that stick out are obviously barkley and mcclelan but joes on another level he's faster than benn smarter than benn has a better chin than benn and his stamina is a zillion times beter than benn and he also put eubanck down something benn never managed to do.
