Nice bait thread. I see you've already snared some angry Brits.Nigel Benn's punching power biggest myth in Boxing yes he was a big puncher but he was not the concussive knockout artist people believe he was,he was no Julian Jackson or Naseem Hamed punching power wise
there are a lot of excuses floating about when you mention Benn's punching power people like to say he never carried his punching power up to 168 and if Eubank,Collins said he hit so hard then he must of been the puncher people believe he is or was,Eubank had Collins over hurt BTW where as Benn could not in two fights
reallity is Benn knocked out a lot of Bums on his way up and most of them with one punch finishes but when his competition level stepped up his knockouts dried up he did not even knockout Iran Barkley he was stopped on the 3 KD rule he never hurt Michael Watson once he could not get rid of Sugar Boy Malinga,Galvano was stopped on cuts if i remember right and he went the full 12 in the rematch he could not stop Juan Carlos Gimenez Ferreyra either or Henry Wharton ,Nardiello basically just mentally gave up and Perez was a bum and Benn never really hurt McClellan or staggered him either we all know why he was going down
Benn knocked out people he was suposed to knockout Lou Gent,Nicky Piper TKO,Kid Milo TKO,Dan Sherry cause he was a big puncher but REAL big hitters like Jackson and Hamed knocked out guys that dont get stopped and were current or former world champs at the time and with single shots aswell a lot of the time and Benn never did this
LOL.Comment

Well i heard at middle Eubank respected his power & at S-middle Collins said when he hit me with his best shots & knew he couldn't hurt me i knew i had the fight won.
Lets not forget Barkley & Sims the great Duran didn't KO them didn't even beat 1 but he was bringing his punch up from lightweight but Barkley was tough & some brawler punches that wear down people usually his there for the 12 rounds but Benn put him awayComment

Nope. I've seen it many times. Yes, the fight was stopped because Barkley went down 3 times, which would'nt have have happened if Benn did'nt have the power you say is over rated. TKOs are by FAR the way in which most stoppages occur. When was the last time you saw someone get counted out? So I don't see how you could possible believe you're owning anyone when, According to you, Jackson had 17 KOs and benn had 13 KOs. So what's the big difference?

difference is a TKO is not a KO how many time before it sinks in ,Jackson Ko'ed top calibre oposition with 1 punch finishes Benn did not

please acknowledge the fact that Benn hit Barkley twice while he was down in that first round.Well i heard at middle Eubank respected his power & at S-middle Collins said when he hit me with his best shots & knew he couldn't hurt me i knew i had the fight won.
Lets not forget Barkley & Sims the great Duran didn't KO them didn't even beat 1 but he was bringing his punch up from lightweight but Barkley was tough & some brawler punches that wear down people usually his there for the 12 rounds but Benn put him away
imo they were the best punches he landed.Comment
