Benn: "Jones dodged me", Eubank: "Roy avoided my calls", Collins: "Roy ran scared!",

[J !]

Guys, at the end of the day ... RJJ was a great fighter inside US, Benn was a great fighter outside US, Eubanks a great a fighter outside US, Collins and Cal***gi- both decent, and RJJ would of MOST LIKELY beat the lot of em.

Right ?

Thankyou.

NO NOT RIGHT BENN HAD MANY FIGHTS IN THE STATES INCLUDING ICING IRAN BARKLEY IN ONE ROUND IN VEGAS.

SO NO NOT RIGHT AT ALL.

fight in the US for Nige

Barkley won KO1
Dewitt won KO 8
williams won points
Quinones won KO 1
Amparo won UD

Roy didnt fight that many times outside of his state let alone abroad.

Works both ways TRULY great fighters travel.

That Barkley fight was awesome. Tommy Hearns at his best threw everything at Barkley for three or four rounds but couldn't knock him down, then Barkley knocked Hearns out to win the title. Nigel Benn threw everything at Barkley and knocked him down three times in the first-round!

Jeez Benn now has more power than Tommy Hearns!

Sounds like he was almost unbeatable to me.............

Benn could whack like no other.

McClellan took Julian Jackson's best shots! But he couldn't take Benn's best shots.

Benn could WHACK!

Why did he hit Barkley everytime he knocked him down?

[OliverNo1]

Jeesus Christ - Benn was nowhere near as hard punching as Tommy Hearns, tell me ONE Benn KO that was as definitive as Tommys one punch destruction of Roberto Duran.

And dont give me the names of some idiots or well past its that Benn fought most of the time when looking good, i would actually like to see his KO record against "World Class" fighters - as my guess is it aint that impressive.

Why did he hit Barkley everytime he knocked him down?

He didn't, he hit Barkley once when Barkley was on his knees but it was because Benn had already pulled his arm back and couldn't hold it back in time. That little punch on the back of the head wouldn't of done much, the big right hand that actually put Barkley down did the damage - it shook Barkley to his boots like he'd never been shaken before or after. Also, I remember Benn charged straight out of his corner when the opening bell rung and landed a huge right hand on Barkley - the first punch of the fight - that won him the fight more than any of the punches he landed after that. Barkley flew back into the ropes and Benn continued to charge like a wild animal, Barkley got tangled up in the ropes and almost flew out of the ring, he went down.

Now come on fella... That Hitman Hearns vs Roberto Duran was a brutal knockdown, but Duran was gone as a fighter by then.

He started off as a lightweight, and before the Hearns fight he had to come down from 190lbs to 160lbs... I just don't think Duran was really taking it seriously.

I would say that Nigel Benn had a bigger punch than Hearns.

After his losses to Watson and Eubank, Benn decided to change his style. Before that, Benn tried to kill his opponents with every single punch he threw. But then he changed into more of a thinking fighter, clearly not putting his full force into punches from then on and preferring to place them instead. Benn became WBC 168 champion as a much more complete fighter than the younger, faster Benn at 160 who wasted too many shots.

In his early career, Benn's murderous degree of power in his fists was scarey. Watch clips of him coming through the ranks, the KO's are scarey! He beat some guys with the very first punch of the fight and they were out clean cold - it was madness. But he was also wasting loads of shots in all his fights, putting all his efforts into each punch. Benn knew that he needed to change his style from that and be able to win points decisions if he wanted to gain consistency to defend his WBC title a number of times - so he didn't put all his power into punches from then.

[OliverNo1]

Probably fair comment from you guys.

Benn certainly doesnt deserve to be(imo) in the upper tier of HOF MW's or SMW.
