Benn was awesome on the mitts, like no other.

Yeah Mickey Rourke said how he wanted to spar with Benn back in Miami but then saw Benn on the pads with Vic Andreeti and though 'okay,maybe not!'. Rourke was Benns mate,he nuthugged Benn abit.

Their have been some great fighters to come out of Britian.

And Nigel Benn was one of them! I'm sick of all these bums with 5 posts thinkin they know it all, some guys have thousands of posts and don't force their opinion on anyone. Fool. (meaning the idiot who started the thread...)

Benn was a majestic vicious animal, he's the closest thing boxing has seen to be a cold blooded killer.

Benn says something about Rourke in his book, I'll post it here soon.

from Benn's book:

One of our friends in Miami was Mickey Rourke. We went out a lot with him, especially to Thai Tony's. He was quite a fan of mine and used to train with me at the Fifth Street gym. We went with him to watch his fight in Fort Lauderdale, Miami. He had once tried to spar with me but had second thoughts when he realised what it might involve, especially when he saw me on the pads. We'd go out together after fights. He would wear jeans and drive his black Cadillac. He was a very down-to-earth guy but with the greatest will in the world. I would never call him a brilliant fighter. People would boo him in the ring and he would scream 'Up yours' at them and give them the V sign. He fought in Tokyo as a super middleweight and, surprisingly, won most of his bouts. His childhood dream was to be a boxer and his acting has helped him to live out his fantasy. I respect him because he says what he thinks. He won't crawl to film directors or sleep with them for a part as one well-known boxer did.
