Listen Juy...The G-Man was hit flush with multiple knockout shots from JAckson...how he walked thru them is beyond me but it does appears that as time went on he was never the same after his first encounter with Jackson.
From that first fight with Jackson Gerald was reported with severe migraine headaches-Jackson was a one of a kind.
Hey Juy...are you predicting Calzaghe to get blown away buy the younger fresher Allan Green?
Benn was one of a kind, dude.
You really should check out his first 22 fights, when everybody thought his punching power was out of this world.
Benn was v.fast at 160 and had some good timing to though, how do u explain Watson being almost killed by one Eubank punch? ? It is accumulation, from previous fights but mostly from the pre fight sparring i.m.o
Benn collapsed through exhaustion on his way back to the dressing room and was rushed to hospital, it was horrific. Benn suffered fractures to jaw, cheek bone, nose, ribs and hands, was urinating blood for days and an x-ray showed a shadow on the brain. He was also concussed, and all the ligaments in the side of his neck were ripped.

In Eubank's own words..
"I got up, I looked around, I spat. I had a flash of awareness. The crowd were not jumping up and down for my demise. They were hovering. They were up in the air in joy looking at this villain of villains being silenced. I didn't pretend I wasn't hurt. I called my opponent on. You can see me on the film say: 'Come on!' and with that, I have taken one step with my right foot, with my left foot I have gone down into a position to throw an uppercut right up through the middle of his guard. I hit him with a shot - and you have to remember at this point I have nothing left, I shouldn't be in the fight. You can hear it in the commentary. The audience of 14 million are saying why are you getting up.
"The shot I hit him was one uppercut. Everything that I had was in that shot. I had nothing left. This now goes into the realm of animal instinct. This power can only be acquired if you are truly honest. You hear about mothers lifting up cars to rescue babies. You somehow tap into a strength beyond possibility. What happened couldn't happen. If you watched this fight for 10 rounds, you'd bet everything you had there was only one winner. The term divine intervention comes into mind, animal instinct, phenomena."
That was a one-off, freak shot. As somebody else said in another thread - perfect arc, perfect pivot, and lifted Watson off his feet! Plus, remember that Eubank had studied martial arts and once said he could hit with "two tonnes of pressure", which is kind of interesting.
