      Jones would outbox McClellan, but i doubt he could hurthim. McClellan must have one of the best chins ive seen. He took full blooded shots from Jackson and Benn, and wasnt hurt.

      Its either Jones by UD, or McClellan by KO at any point. But Jones had great reflexes and wasnt easy to hit. The McClellan that fought Benn was sloppy, his defence wasnt there at all, and he offense was lazy.

        seriously G-man had zero defense and punched himself out in 4 rounds, not to mention he got outboxed by 2 journeymen(he wasnt in his prime, but still....) and destroyed by benn(i cant believe people actually had him winning.....)

        roy runs around 5 rounds, some scary moments when gman chases him, all the while roy counters some shots, by te 5th round mclellan is tired and roy pot shots him easy for a UD victory...

          With Benn going down twice i had the fight even.
          And McClellan wasnt destroyed by Benn. He took plently of huge shots, but was never hurt until he took a knee at the end due to his brain injury. It was hardly a real knockdown.

            it depends on how the G-Man wants it he got the jab and speed,

            truthfullythe G-Man corner at the Benn fight was terrible they should have stopped It wasnt Emanuel Steward who was there better watch the fight and I will tell.


            But the G-Man is one of these type of fight who is going to fight anyone anywhere anytime type of thing and he is one of the few champion who stepped into England to fight Benn and that era the Super MW where top competition but each one was was staying in his countery

              i thought mcclellan was beating him at 1st
              then he fell off for the 3rd-6th round
              but he had a good lead i thought
              he shoulda got the KO in the 1st round
              benn took like 35 seconds to get his ass up
              a fight that should a been his win ended up his last fight
              and to add insult
              it was a KO!!!
              benn clearly headbutted him and it coulda been a tech draw
              but mcclellan tried to fight on
              it was a disaster really
              but mcclellan shoulda won that fight

                Benn took 7 seconds to get up, and did not headbutt McClellan.

                  Well, we do not know if the headbutt was intentional, but Benn did a lot of rabbit punching that was significant. It's been a pretty long while since i've watched this fight, but I remember Benn leading on the scorecards towards the end of it, even the last knockdown wasn't really because of McClellan. It really doesn't matter, Gman's ghost was doing most of the fighting. It's the kind of fight that a Boxer does not remember afterwards, the kind of fight that seperates the real warriors with the instinct from the ones who do not have it.
                  Ad for Roy Jones JR. I don't think McClellan would win. Of cource he has a punchers chance but normally we don't look at that seriously, I thought? Gman didn't have great defence wich he would have needed against Roy, because Jones would counter him off the ropes, maybe even take risks such as leaping hooks and slugging. But I doubt it. I think Jones would win a UD. Let's not overrate Gerald McClellan now, he never fought someone like Jones who wouldn't play his game that made him look impressive(Jackson, Benn) and we have heard James Toney saying he outboxed McClellan in sparring.

                    Benn took 7 seconds to get up, and did not headbutt McClellan.
                    no he took about 20 seconds
                    and he DID actually headbutt mcclellan
                    they made a big deal bout it towards the end of the fight
                    but it was ignored
                    and benn was rabbid punchin em throughout the whole fight
                    which is dangerous as ****
                    benn gotta fake ass win
                    and Roy Jones called his ***** ass out a little bit after that fight happened n benn aint want none

                      that part doesnt really matters, unless you also want to count gman beating jones in the ams.
