such a shame that Benn never got the respect he deserved from the yanks. he NEVER lost to a yank, only to fellow Brits if im not mistaken.

He beat

Gerald Mcclellan
Doug Dewitt
Iran Barkley
Thulani Malinga
Henry Wharton
Vincenzo Nardiello
and went to a draw with Eubank

thats pretty good.

This Yank always gave Nigel his just due.

He's undoubtedly my favorite British fighter of all-time. Even in defeat, his first fight w/ Eubank (which I had the pleasure of attending while on four-day pass during my stint in the military) not only converted me from casual fan to hardcore junkie, but also motivated me to give the sport a try.

Cliff mentioned it in his HOF article, but Benn and Eubank's omission from the HOF ballot is a serious oversight. Benn's name is the first I bring up whenever anyone lobbies for Gatti's "deserving" immediate entrance - Gatti was a huge regional draw, but Benn was every bit as exciting, every bit as popular in the UK as Gatti was in NY/NJ area and Canada, and also boasts better career-defining wins.

I hated that he ended the career the way he did (esp. since I was never a big Steve Collins fan), but it hardly erases the level of excitement he brought throughout the first half of the 90's.

Roy Jones said in an interview in the ring before a fight that he had offered Benn and Collins $1m to fight him.

Wither this is true or not is a different story? Benn wasn't one to duck opponents.

$1million?

King offered Benn and Jones $25million each and Jones turned that down.

Who cares how many times he was knocked out,Roy got a **** chin,Benn got huge power.
Benn by KO Rd3
