Benn/McClellan was a much bigger fight between better fights, with Benn having been knocked out by a JAB in the past and rocked in almost every fight expected to be knocked clean out against McClellan after telling everybody that he was going to right at McClellan from the opening bell (and try to knock McClellan out as quickly as possibly). But what made the fight so exciting was that we knew Nigel Benn, claiming he was going to bring back the old Dark Destroyer from the 80's, could punch as hard as anybody and was in there with a punchers chance early on (although nobody expected McClellan to have such a ridiculously good chin, too good for his own good )

But Calzaghe's performance was sheer dominance although having said that, I wouldn't give Calzaghe much chance against McClellan and Lacy much chance against Benn.

They are similar circumstances, because Benn was coming off his career-worst performance (against Giminez) and Calzaghe also had a career-worst performance (against Salem) not long before the Lacy fight. And there were these awesome punchers crossing the Atlantic, against seemingly 'fading' British champions who were now uncharactoristically going the distance in their fights.

Even more weird is that it was the fourth round when the crowd riots started in the Benn/Giminez fight, and lost Benn his concentration. And it was the fourth round when Calzaghe broke his hand against Ashira. Both incidents causing poor performances before the big fights, making Benn and Calzaghe underdogs.

Interesting stuff.

U really think Calzaghe wouldnt stand a chance againt McClellan?
