I really hated that fight
....I thought it should have ended in the first round, but it didn't.
It just wasn't the G-man thing either, I was a fan of both fighters. I hated the way Benn acted after the fight seeing G-man on the floor and all.
Benn did show huge heart in the fight though.
After I watched some video on youtube about Benn later in his life, I didn't realize the effect his actions after that fight had on him. It made me a fan again. He was classless after the fight, but as I got older, I could sort of undertsand (heat of the battle and all...And it was a battle for sure). Then after wacthing that vid, even he didn't like how he acted.

liar. he never signed a damn thing to fight calzaghe. they were in verbal negotiations. verbal. but hopkins chose to stay with hbo rather than move to showtime. what an idiot right!Bernard signed to fight Joe in the states in 02, then broke the contract and fought Hakkar instead. Joe admitted in the 24/7 he wanted the crown ***els to face prime Roy and Roy said that Joe was way too good for him to fight because Joe brought no money...but those two both knew what the deal was with Joe C.Comment

Benn had no clue that Gerald was hurt like he was, he just thought that he was concussed or something and he celebrated as any 10-1 underdog would celebrate such a victory. The outcome ruined Benn's career, he was never the same. He visited Gerald in the hospital and apologized to his mother, and he has had fundraisers over the years for him as well, one recently with Ricky Hatton I believe.I really hated that fight

I didn't like GMan outside the ring, and I pushed buttons the other day, but I feel terrible for him. No one deserves that, particularly a warrior like GManComment

Yep. That is pretty much what the video was about.Benn had no clue that Gerald was hurt like he was, he just thought that he was concussed or something and he celebrated as any 10-1 underdog would celebrate such a victory. The outcome ruined Benn's career, he was never the same. He visited Gerald in the hospital and apologized to his mother, and he has had fundraisers over the years for him as well, one recently with Ricky Hatton I believe.

There is nothing wrong with Calzaghe. I liked him. As a fan, and knowing what I know from boxing myself, I can't be convinced that Joe's record stands better than Roy Jones or Bhop for that matter. Undefeated.... so what. I appreciate that fine mark as a champipon, but he wouldn't have beat the 2002-2003 version of Roy. Highly doubtful. He would have given a great showing of himself for sure. I just don't think he would have won.Comment
