Benn Vs Tito what if?

How long would it taken before one is KO'ed in a war?

I'd lean towards Benn by Ko.

Benn would've been banged SPARK out.

Then again, Benn's size may have caused problems.

Terriffic match up cos both could be severly dangerous when hurt.

i think there's a lot of very good middles that would've beaten Tito, especially from the McCallum, Toney, Nunn, Kalambay, Graham, Julian Jackson era. But imo Benn while being a big hitter at middle, was very vulnerable and raw & might get blown out. a 168 benn is a different matter, as he had decent head movement, solid pressure even if he punch lessened

Benn and easily, early to mid rounds, we saw BHOPS backing Tito up without answer, imagine what the stronger more powerful, faster Benn would do to him. Trinidad just isn't at home at MW.

Benn...too big too strong for Tito.

Pah! Hardly easily, ive seen Nige hurt by.....uh pretty much everyone who ever hit him clean. Tito was a very accurate puncher, AND in his prime having a fight with him toe to toe meant a severe beating.

I see most agree that I think Benn Ko's him.

Benn's size would be the deciding factor, Tito wasn't the same destructive fighter north of 154.

Benn would stand up to his power too and would have the heart to not easily go out too like most Tito victums.

Benn is too big and strong and powerful for Trinidad, I think it would be an easy nights work for him, early rounds KO or TKO

Benn started like a train and Tito was always slow to get going....

as crazy as it sounds a 1st round TKO could happen... Tito down 3 times and stopped on the 3 knock down rule....

Lol, Benn could not stand up to Tito's punches. Come on now, I think Wrights win over Tito has blinded a lot of people. We're talking about a match at 160 here. As I said before, remember, IF you have a fight with Tito Trinidad, like Benn would, Tito's accurate punching almost always wins the day. Bernard Hopkins at his absolute best took 12 rounds to beat Tito. I think Hopkins would dissect Nige a lot quicker.

How much did Iran Barkley weigh when he and Benn fought? Remember he couldn't keep Benn down and i would think he hit just as hard as Trinidad

Benn could stand up to the biggest punchers at SuperMiddle. Why wouldn't he be able to stand up to a naturally smaller man and weight classes power?

Tito's record at Middleweight isn't great - what is it 3-2 or something like that.

Having viewed Hopkins vs Tito again recently, have to say Nigel would start a pretty big favourite in this mythical match. Tito wasn't so hard to hit and Nigel would have been too strong.

I think Tito would go a few rounds (remarkably he suffered less of his "trademark" flash knockdowns at Middleweight) but I think Nigel would have got to him in a surprising one sided affair between 8 and 10.

Benn would be too strong for Tito . I see him roughing him up and stopping him mid rounds.

The peak Benn took Gerald McClellans shots so he could take Trinidads. Nigel was a much more measured fighter later in his career, the only reason he lost the Eubank and Watson fights was because he charged in like a headless chicked
