Benn deserves immense credit for winning the fight with McClellan. No-one gave hime a chance, and rightly so, because McClellan was explosive. However, although i wouldn't say that the referee (Alfred Asaro) was the reason that Benn won the fight, i would say that he was extremely inept, and was over fussy, especially after Benn was dropped in the first round.
There is a rota-like system for referees, and it just so happened that Asaro was to be referee for Benn - McClellan due to this, but IMO, such a high profile fight should be taken on by a tried and trusted referee, and not some Frenchman who couldn't speak a word of english, and who was amateur at best! That said, i take nothing away from Benn, he was outstanding.

only problem with benn getting credit is that really he lost the fight.. he was still behind on points when geralrd took a knee... behind on points in your home town means your really behind.. that fight wasnt even close anyway you look at it

over rated,protected nowadays because he is brain damaged,he took the same risk fighters do and always have,he got hurt,he got hurt bad,stepping in the ring with a man that intends to do that isnt really a good start is it.

eat me alive with ur bad k,its true,he doesnt deserve anymore respect than any of the fighters today,they all take the same risk

Wouldnt give bad K for an honest oppinion like that, But G man is 1 of my favs, got his career dvd set, He is ****in under rated if anything he was dynamite! His current state has nothing to do with my opinion on him

G-Man was a good fighter and very hard puncher, but he gets overrated due to the "what could have been" factor.

It happens quite a bit.

Salvador Sanchez, who was great, still gets overrated quite a bit due to the "what could have been" factor. I see people rank him over guys who achieved more, and hear how he was greater than JCC and what not.

Same with Aaron Pryor. Excellent fighter who should have been more, but people overrate him and rank him above guys who acheived more.

fair enough

[The Surgeon]

fair enough

U watched much of his fights? I ask coz I wouldnt rate him very high based on his record and achievements but watching him i think he'd do very well in head 2 head matches

[Liaison]

He once admitted that his lack of patience (wanting to KO his opponent quickly) would lead to his downfall.

i only saw the benn fight and the julian jackson fights,i mean he was good,no doubt,but when he got injured,he was the best of all time!
