As the great Eddie Futch said(word for word): "Benn was all wrong for McClelland in terms of styles,Im suprised that McClellands team took Benn so lightly,there is a lack of knowledge. You can say Benn won the fight on heart all you want and Benn can say it all he likes,but Benn was a big-punching swarmer who knew when to launch and how to duck and weave under and that is all wrong for a long,rangey boxer who looks to load up and has little or no defence. He(Benn) used single shots effectively and knew exactly when to launch,and because McClelland doesn't use uppercuts it meant Benn just had to keep his chin low and he would be out of trouble more often than not and he did exactly that,he caused McClellan to waste motion with his tactics and technique and fought a near-perfect fight against an opponent who people thought was looking invincible."Last edited by Orange Sneakers; 06-25-2006, 02:45 PM.

No question in my mind.

Hatton was clearly the better man against Tszyu,too. Its just ridiculous to say he wasnt in Tszyus class when he whipped Tszyus backside! He didnt give Tszyu time to breath,mauled him on the inside,smothered him over and won it convincingly. It was perfect tactics. Hatton did everything he had to and thats skill in its own right,even if it wasnt pretty stuff like dancing around or whatever. He was clearly winning,as was Benn.

Originally posted by Super Cruiserweightbut He Somehow Lost His Speed And Power As His Career Progressed Which Was Strange....
Benn wanted to prove a point against Henry Wharton that he could outbox an opponent and so went for the decision
Against Juan Giminez ( late sub for Darrin Vanhorn ) the crowd trouble caused Benn to lose concentration and just see the rounds out which was quite clear
New trainer Vic Andreeti told Benn to try to go 10 rounds against Jorge Amparo because he desperately needed a good 10 rounds under his belt
Sanderline Williams has literally never been knocked down in his life ( ! )
Benn never lost his punch I dont think : he took out Dan Sherry without even meaning to with that overarm right and his left hook ko of Marvellous Marvin's granite - chinned brother ( Robbie Sims ) was dynamite. . .the right hand that knocked down Perez ( late sub for Steve Little ) for the first time in Perez carrer as amateur or pro was pretty damn powerful. . . .it was still there though not as devastating as in his wilder, younger days. . . . .

What gives you the right to say something like that? Did you know McClellan (not McClennand, whoever that is!) on a personal level? I think not, therefore, why are you so quick to call him the scum of the earth? And why do you feel the need to claim that he deserves the be in the state that he's in now? This IMO makes you scum. The stories that you hear are rumours and it's entirely up to you if you want to believe them. Whether the rumours are true or not that doesn't give you the right to say what you've said. You call yourself a boxing fan, therefore, why not concentrate on what McClellan achieved as a boxer??? I get the feeling that you don't know too much about McClellan. Don't misunderstand me because i am not a fan of dog fighting and don't agree with it whatsoever, but i don't dwell on rumours or what people choose/chose to do in their private lives. McClellan had the potential to become a great fighter and that's the view i give.You say Benn dominated the fight, but was McClellan not ahead on the scorecards when the fight was stopped??? I don't think that Benn dominated that fight but he deserves immmense credit for initially getting up from that knock down in the 1st round and then going on to win the fight. McClellan also deserves immense credit for the courage he showed as clearly he was struggling mid way through the fight, and God knows how he was feeling after the clash of heads. The one and only point i agree with you on is that Benn was a step up in class, but i don't agree with any of the other BS.Originally posted by MIKEYTWOFIVEMcClennand was a Yank dirtbag who I'm glad Karma has worked against, he stepped up in class and got completely dominated by the Dark Destroyer, dominated with clean punches and beaten fair and square, and he deserves the state he's in now for being scum of the earth. . .

Originally posted by MIKEYTWOFIVEThat was more to do with Benn fighting big lightheavyweights like Lenzie Morgan and Nicky Piper and Mauro Galvano : guys who would weigh about 180 on the night whereas Benn would struggle to stay up to the 168 mark because he was jst a small middle ( blown - up ) chasing a Eubank rematch

Those things you said about McClellan are honestly disgraceful.
