    i suggest you get a eubank career set. you are british though so you aren't exactly trustworthy when it comes to scoring. a british hero can never lose in your eyes. posing and falling over score big points right?

    schommer, amaral, both ray close fights, nigel benn 2, watson, thornton, sherry and malinga was highly debatable. he's a british sven ottke. they gave him all the decisions cause he had a huge money contract and got huge ratings and they didn't want to ruin this. simple politics.

      edit.If Benn was a ducker he wouldn't have fought McClellan, Benn was a massive underdog in that fight. Roy Jones is well known to have avoided the best fighters in every division he fought in, Benn has never been known as a ducker. I know who i'm going to believe.
      The only thing I remember regarding Jones and Benn is when Benn was talking about Jones in a post-fight interview. Can't even remember which fight it was now, but he certainly didn't seem to be afraid of Roy. Contrary, I'm pretty sure I remember Benn being keen to fight him, and he also acknowledged his talent.

        Prodigy! I remember MTV banned the video for Smack My ***** Up.

        Nigel Benn was a helluva fighter. Always made for a good scrap.

          mcclellan was braindamaged before the benn fight, benn just capitalized. and he still needed the refs help to win. not as much as in the barkley fight though.. barkley hurts him so the ref gives nigel a free shot after barkleys on the ground, disgusting..

          and as for barkley beating hearns that is to this day the strongest example of a fighter beating someone whos about ten levels above him. in the first he was getting manhandled and landed a good shot when hearns got careless. in the second hearns fought barkleys fight, and he was quite a bit over the hill too. barkley was never a great fighter.

              From an old interview with Roy Jones.

              Q: "Did you have plans to fight McClellan before he got hurt?"

              Jones: "Yeah, in fact, I was gonna fight the winner of that fight. But when Benn won, Don didn't want to do that because Don doesn't totally have Benn. Him and Frankie Warren had Benn together, so Don King didn't want to make that fight. I was one of the people who predicted that Benn would win the fight, the reason being because McClellan had let King guide his career and he had only fought one true fighter, which was Julian Jackson. julian doesn't have a chin, he can just punch. When he fought Benn, he was just so used to knocking everyone out, he didn't know what it was like to go out there and out box a guy. But Benn was truly a warrior, if you go there to knock 'em out, and your chin is not the best, he can knock you out. At one time, Benn was 22 - 0 with 22 knock outs. That's hard to do. Oscar De La Hoya didn't do that, Roy Jones didn't do that. Nobody hardly got that far with straight knock outs. I got about 19, I think. So, that tells you something about his punching power, and to go in and disrespect that, you're looking for an upset. And that's why I . . . "

              Q: "He knocked Benn out of the ring -- "

              Jones: "First round, but, when he came back, that made it even worse, because when Benn came back into the ring, he kep't trying so hard to knock Benn out because he knew he could knock Benn out if he catch him right, and that, in turn, made him more tired then he would have ever been if he had just used his jab, let Benn get tired, then knock Benn out."

                would Mcclellan get Permanentley brain damaged without ever facing Benn? lets say he retired after the jackson fights would he still get into coma, lose his eyesight, abilty to walk or to hear? nah i thought so, he might have had some damage before but Benn was the one who finished the job.

                  his fights only went round 1 for a couple years. it was only a matter of time. right place right time for benn. he capitalized. he was even getting dizzy and blinking during sparring while hit with jabs. benn probably would have been blasted out in one round as well if the friendly ref didn't step in front of benn for ten seconds at a time for absolutely no reason 3 times during the first round when benn was on ***** street. having to cheat that badly is considered a great win?

                    ja men det hade kunnat vara vem som helst, inte bara benn. första man att få in några träffar på mclellan hade skadat honom. första man att ta sig ur första ronded, vilket benn bara gjorde tack vare domaren.

                      inte för att jag är helt säker men ska man inte få 20 sek om man hamnar ute ur ringen att när man blir knockad? tro det är så.
