Why the **** would anyone want to fight someone who fights as dirty as Nigel Benn?

Money.

To be honest, I would never have fought Nigel Benn or Chris Eubank. I'd fight Roy Jones before I fought either of those. I'd probably fight Benn before I'd fight Eubank (and that's saying something!), you do need guts to step in with Eubank.

When Eubank was pressured, he could unleash a NASTY right hand when you least expect. Eubank was on the verge of being stopped late on against Benn but then dummied a left hand punch and threw a big right instead, it rocked Benn to his boots and the fight was won... Eubank collapsed through exhaustion late on against Michael Watson, but rose off the canvas to land a right uppercut that disabled Watson... Eubank was losing against European champ Ray Close but then out of nowhere landed a big right late on which caused it to be scored a draw and he kept his title... Eubank was losing against Steve Collins but then out of nowhere landed a big right late on and had Collins in more trouble with a single punch than he had ever been before in his life (Eubank had terrible flashbacks to when he disabled Watson though and literally spent the rest of the round posturing to the crowd and purposely allowing Collins to recover!)... against Calzaghe, Eubank was in trouble right at the end but then suddenly caught the granite-chinned Calzaghe with thumping right hands and only the ropes kept Calzaghe up in the dying seconds of the fight...

You could hit Eubank with a baseball bat and he'd stand there smiling at you, his chin was unreal and when he was under pressure he had that big right hand in reserve. I would not of gone anywhere near him and I don't blame Jones Jr for staying away either. He was a strong man and clearly had talent, it really is a shame that he always seemed to fail to press home his advantages, he preferred to do only just enough to win Post-Watson - fighting sporadically and purposely not putting much force into his punches.. that's how I mean he always had reserve (but Jones Jr would of brought that reserve out! which is why I would of put my money on Eubank beating him).

Who said that, Juy?

[JUYJUY]

Who said that, Juy?

Me. I probably would fight them if it was a shot at the World title, but I'd be very nervous fighting Benn or Eubank, I'd be more nervous fighting them than Jones Jr.

[jack_the_rippuh]

Yeah because once Roy Jones Jr. knew he had you beat, he wouldn't go for the kill, because he feared getting caught himself, so he would go in cruise control.

I don't know anything about Eubank, but with a guy like Benn his main goal in a fight was to not just win by knockout but to hurt you. He seemed to fight with anger...satanic anger.

[JUYJUY]

Benn was sick, every punch he threw carried bad intentions. His early career was ridiculously malicious, the guy was a maniac.. bashing guys about left, right and centre.

[bfg]

Benn wrote a book about his boxing career...I think it was called "The Dark Destroyer"...pretty interesting...he paints himself as a pretty nice guy....he started being a full time DJ after he retired...said the McClennen (am I spelling that right?) took it all out of him even though he thought it was his finest fight...it was a great one too...the ending was rough but Benn showed a lot of heart getting back into the fight after getting knocked through the ropes...makes me think maybe his first fight with Eubank shouldn't have been stopped...Benn was dangerous when he was hurt and I just watched the first Eubank fight again the other day and Benn was getting hit but he was throwing back too...I would have loved to see those two against some of the top american competition that was around at the time although the british scene was really good at the time for middleweights too...

I'll tell you who I think had a great career in front of him if he wasn't injured ... Michael Watson!

He was a smooth boxer.
