Felix Trinidad vs Nigel Benn at 160lbs

The Trinidad who beat Joppy vs Prime Benn at 160lbs.

What transpires?

 

I'd take Benn by KO. He'd have to get off the floor to do so, but in the end I just feel he's too strong and powerful for Tito at 160.

 

It's an interesting one. Benn with those wild but FAAAAST swings, each one packing fight ending power and Tito with controlled aggression and that merciless offensive arsenal. Could really go either way....I think Tito gets it though.

 

I wouldn't totally discount it. I mean, it's not like Benn had the skill and ability of Hopkins. Perhaps trading with Tito would be a mistake for him. But I just feel like Tito never got hit with anything like Benn, and eventually I see Benn landing something big he can't handle.

Outta the middleweight punchers, I'd take Jackson, Hearns, G-Man, and Benn to KO Tito. Tito KO's Mugabi though.

 

I think Tito is an overall better fighter, but Benn was a big puncher at this weight and though Tito had power at 160, e wasn't as sharp or as fit at this weight like was at 147-154 lbs.

Benn KO 7

 

I'm not sure it matters. If Trinidad can keep a tight guard and be patient waiting for the inevitable openings i can see him taking Benn out. It's not one you want to bet money on though regardless of who you pick.

 

Benn KO3. Tito was no middleweight. Tito has gotten underrated in time - he was a great welterweight. No welterweight beats Benn. Benn would have lit him up.

I'm with you there.

Always felt he looked fat and not all that fit at 160.

147-154 lbs was his best.

 

So you'd pick Benn over Robinson, Leonard, and Hearns?

If so, LMAO!

 

Benn has a punchers chance And he'd probably drop Tito at some point it's tough to beat even the MW Tito when you don't really have any defensive scheme. Trinidad wasn't a great defender but he was responsible and good at avoiding the big shot.
