    Back in the day I scouted Nigel Benn for a well known fighter (no names), but it would have been a big fight (and it was not Roy). Benn was well known, but fighters don't base shit on popularity. After watching Benn, I knew there was NO WAY the fighter I was scouting for could beat him. So I had a way with words when conveying messages like this. My report to his camp was three words: 'He's an animal'.
    I never heard back from that camp and was worried I'd pissed them off. After the McClellan fight, he sent me a wine and cheese back with only the words "Thank you" on it. Ha ha Real shit

    2:10 for the next five seconds is my most vivid and best, most memorable moment in ALL boxing history. Even now in 2020, it evokes such memory's and emotion in me.
    Nigel Benn, a pure FIGHTER!!!!! Lays all on the line, heart on his sleeve and a nice guy too.
    Chris Eubank was also phenomenal, but Benn will always remain my favourite boxer of all time.

    I remember watching Ben in my teenage years. God he was awesome. I was a soldier, Benn was ex forces, I backed him all the way, my brother supported Eubank. Interesting times!
    Loved how Bruno was screaming at the side of the ring during the McClelland fight, it seemed like such an impossible task. The odds so stacked against Benn, the man had the heart of a lion.
    Was sad to see what happened to McClelland after the fight, no boxer should have that happen too them, but I guess that's the risk they take..a brutally lonely risk.

    Makes today s boxing look mediocre . nowadays no characters, no excitement, no heart, we were all spoiled during the 80 s and 90 s so many good fighters in all divisions. It seemed like there was a great fight on every couple of weeks back then. Carl Froch for me is/was the only fighter worth watching in recent times. Miss those Saturday night fight nights x

    Benn had mixed reviews in the UK. Gerald McClellan was arguably the best in his division. Jones may argue otherwise but they were the one two. McClellan was a top ten P4P er and a reputation for early KO's so for Benn this was a fight with neon lights outside it saying danger as McClellan was predicting a vicious early KO. Benn was a heavy underdog in a field of 2. Very few people gave Benn a fighting chance. This is how much of a favourite McClellan was and up there with the biggest shocks. I remember watching it on TV, no PPV then, and for Benn a truly amazing victory but a sad ending.
