AMAZING doc about the Tragic Nigel Benn v Gerald McClellan Fight - must see!

Didn't Roy eventually visit him? I know he supported him & his sisters, but I thought he eventually paid him a visit?

Perhaps he eventually did. I know he actually sent him some money to help him, but I know until not that long ago, I dunno exactly when, Roy had in fact not visited. It was said Roy was too scared to see him such a condition.

Poor McClellan. He doesn't remember much, almost nothing. But he remembers he was champ, and that he beat Julian Jackson.

I didn't watch what you posted, but I assume it's the same UK television documentary that was made several years ago. It was sad to see that McClellan's sister basically serves as his interpreter for understanding every day life. It sucks to see the toll that it took on Benn as well.

Is it true that McCllelan once tied up a Labrador to see how quick his pitbull could savage it?

Yea, it is. But as awful as that is, and impossible to excuse, it was a long time ago. And he may've already left that behind even before he got crippled.

Someone else mentioned how sad and I think very touching it is, to see his sister take care of him.
