Mikkel Kessler vs Benavidez

The circa 06-07 Kessler vs current Benavidez.

 

Kessler stops him mid to late rounds imo. The jab and distance control win it for Kessler imo. I don’t see Benavidez able to out work and out speed him like Calzaghe nor do I think he can get and stay close enough all night the way Ward was able to do so. I think Kessler runs him into the big right hand all night until Benavidez eventually crumbles.

Kessler KOs Benavidez late.

 

Agreed.

 

Benavidez vs Lacy would have been a war, imo.

 

I wouldn't sell Benavidez that short. Him versus Lacy would be pretty one sided.

 

I’d take Benavidez for sure. But I think a prime Lacy would get in his shots and it would be entertaining.

 

I'd give Bena a good shot to beat Kessler. Kessler fought at one speed....I think Bena could figure him out.

 

Kessler is kind of overrated , but i think bena comes forward style would have played straight in his hands

 

Bena kills bum ass lacy

 

I think Benavidez is on a higher level than Kessler ever was.
