    So you don't count them as knockouts? So you're saying Roy Jones only has 12 KOs. I guess Jones did'nt have much power.

      Benn was a big puncher but I agree that his power is not on the same level as a Julian Jackson.

        Benn should not get credit for the Barkley TKO anyyway that you cut it. Benn hit Barkley twice while he was down and the sorry ass referee never even warned Benn or gave Barkley any extra time to recover.

        The two best punches Benn landed in the fight were both illegal blows.

            How on earth can he be on Jackson's level when Jackson is considered by many to be the p4p hardest hitting puncher of all time, or one of them. It's stating the obvious. It's like comparing Linford Christie to Usain Bolt. Benn hit very hard. That's not a myth.

              Benn's power maybe be a little bit overrated by some but he was still a very big puncher, McClellan was in trouble after the first couple of rounds he didn't seem to be fighting like normal and you could tell by the expression on his face and the mouth piece hanging out that there was something wrong. McClellan had taken some big punches off Jackson in there first fight and had complained about head pains ever since its most likely that he already had a weakness before the Benn fight.
