McClellan knew this, but he walked into the ring with no fear. I couldn't believe all that hostility had zero effect on him, and he still went and ko'd Benn in 1 round(that's what it would have been in any other place except there).
All these lads, RJJ, Hopkins, Toney etc, did they ever go to hostile Britain to fight their lad? I doubt we'll ever see a fighter as fearless as Gman again.
You really owned that monogloid.

The bold is the truth.
G-Man gets hated on for what he did outside of the ring. That's bull **** as boxers should be judged bt what they do on the inside.
Jones-McClellan back in the mid 90s would've been epic.

Let's show some respect to the countless number of dogs he killed. A good boxer, but a heartless human being.

I'm British and I think G-Man was a badass and a cool motherfucker. OK, if the animal stories are true then that's fucked up but we've all done **** we aren't proud of, and he stopped the **** before the Benn fight if I recall correctly.

As a boxer, he was a highlight reel. But as a person, I'm with you.
However, I don't buy the argument that he got what he deserved.
