Who'd of been Showtime's 'Last Man Standing'?

[JuicyJuice]

In the fall of '92 (while Arum was setting up Barkley/Toney), King wanted to leave HBO in the dust and spoke of 154-168 tourneys. He would pit Roy Jones against Julian Jackson and Gerald McClellan against Reggie Johnson, at middle, with the winners squaring off. He would pit Terry Norris against Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank against Michael Nunn, at super-middle, with the winners squaring off.

Then both tourney winners would fight eachother at a catch weight of 164!

(it didn't go ahead because Eubank and Jones didn't want to fight for King)

I personally think that Gerald McClellan would of been the last man standing
(Jones KO4 Jackson, McClellan KO2 Johnson, Benn KO5 Norris, Nunn UD12 Eubank, McClellan KO2 Jones, Benn KO6 Nunn, McClellan KO1 Benn), what about you?

I'm curious JuyJuy... why do you think Nunn would beat Eubank, and why do you think Benn would beaten by McClennan in 92?

Eubank never really learned how to cut off the ring, and he never looked like he knew how to fight a southpaw properly, whenever he fought a southpaw. Ofcourse, Nunn would have to box-move and force Eubank to come forward where he often looked novice-like, which I'm sure he would.

I believe Benn would go at McClellan in '93 like he did anyway, and like he did with Barkley. He'd see it as 'do or die' and get taken out, due to his very dodgy jaw combined with McClellan's extremely heavy hands (with wrongly and wrecklessly trying to take McClellan's head off from the off, this is), and because Steward would wrap McClellan's hands properly (you know what McClellan said "wrap your hands right and you can punch through a wall!").

juy, the fights i have of nunn @ 168 he is a shadow of his old self dude, got a gift in 1st fight with cordova for example. eubanks body sways causes nunn major probs & eubank finishes strong 2 get the decision

i see rjj landing potshots at will against mcclennan & frustratin him 2 the point where mcclennan loses it mentally

rjj & eubank in final, eubank would give rjj a few fits but rjj would hurt eubanks body & throw more punches up close

rjj wins this thing

I think Roy would have won that battle.

[LOLORSKATES]

Against what competition, Toney?

I think Roy would have got to the finals, but if he were to get in there with Nigel Benn, I think he would have lost.
