Benn 1995 v Roldan 1987

Would loved to have seen this one, fancy Benn by 8 round KO, climbing off the floor to do so. Any thoughts?

Roldan KO 1

Much stronger.

Roldan's lack of heart and durability would cost him against most other huge punchers.

He was the '80s version of Gratien Tonna.

Either Roldan KO 1-2 or Benn by mid-rounds KO.

Not against a shakey-chinned Benn.

He was better than Tonna. He may have been the strongest middleweight I've ever seen.

Benn KO6 Roldan, Nigel may have had to get off the floor but would have definitely stopped Roldan

Would have been interesting....at MW.....I think this might favor Roldan?

At SMW I'd go with Benn for sure -

Benn is no Hearns or Hagler......but still I think a victory over Benn would have been Roldan's biggest victory (if he could pull it off)...

With that said....at MW....I'll go with Benn hitting the deck in the 3rd only to storm back at TKO Roldan in the 7th...

Never mind SMW, don't forget that Juan beat a former LH champion JB Williamson.
