    Nigel Benn, when I was growing up he was fighting and he was serious. He didn't have the cartoon character of the likes of Bruno and Eubank. He wasn't over the top like Naz. He was just plain and simple, the Dark Destroyer. A boxer, a champ with a respect for the sport and a good work ethic.

    And an excellent taste in music.

          One incident does not define a mans entire life.

              It defines his personality.

              I mean.. do you think a man who beats a woman has a loving personality?

                  If a man commits homicide but then later says he shouldn't have done it because it's wrong, does it change anything?

                    George Foreman. IDK if his tv personality was all a charade to sell grills & burgers, but the man seemed genuinely to be a nice guy. I'm a ice guy.

                      Can you show one bit of proof that this wasn't just one isolated incident? Did Horne ever come out and accuse him of being a woman beater? His wife? Anyone? Why doesn't his generosity and loyalty define his personality?
