Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
Every fight I ever saw this guy is hitting people multiple times when they are down, hitting behind the head incessantly, hitting the back of the neck, and rabbit punching like there is no tomorrow. I hate this guy after watching his fights with Iran Barkley, McClellan, etc. Dirty piece of shit. Seriously, I hate this asshole. Send him to hell.
Re: Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
he hit him again when he was down. Both blatant, but the 2nd one he possibly could have been dq'd for. barkley was on all 4's and Benn came on top with hard right hand on Irans chin. What the eff was the ref thinking? I just looked this up to add to my claim that benn blatantly headbutted GMAN which is what changed the complexion of that fight.
Re: Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
I can pretty much agree with that. Two other dirty fighters that come to mind are Evander Holyfield and Bernard Hopkins. Two extremely dirty fighters, and no one calls (called) them out on it.
What Evander did in the second Tyson fight would have caused me to hit him low, at least... there was no reasonable way that fight was going to end up other than the way it did.
:cool:
Re: Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
Yes he was a dirty fighter , nothing like your hero Rocky Marciano , he would never hit an already knocked out Jersey Joe Walcott while he was on the floor for good measure would he Brock . ;D
Re: Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
nice to see Stevie Collins drilling the cheating bastard behind the head in the rematch. Oh and Eubanks stopping him in the last round first fight.
Re: Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
I've no issues with Benn as he came to fight. It's those others who hug and use the elbow that bother me a lot more. Those are spoiling tactics, Benn just came to fight.
Re: Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
How dare ou insult Holyfield and Hopkins, they were the cleanest fighters of all time. They never did nothin' ...haha I hated to watch them fight to say the truth. Holyfield should have been called 6-Heads Evander as he used his forehead 6 times per round. Hopkins is a pro at cheating. Makes me sick as well and I have never said shite about either of them two ever on this forum as a result.
Haha but Benn was a real bastard hitting a man on all 4's, that is bad.
As for Rocky,......... them's was different times, wasn't them? Yes he certainly knew how to hit Walcott with that hook after poor Joe was already unconscious and sagging to the floor. Terribly unecessary and I dont like watching that part of the fight. Also Rock hit Cockell many times at the rear of the head and ol' Archie too. I didnt like seeiing that I have to say.

My word Benn a dirty fighter, Yep he was but Rocky was not adverse to punching to the
bollocks was he.! Seriously I love both them assholes, in a manly way.:Oops:
Re: Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
Benn can only be faulted for the occasional clip simply because he was is such a determined rush to put his fist through a guys head.
We need more Benns. That is all.

Too late. He got saved actually :) Watch McCellan vs Benn documentary
Re: Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
Benn was a brutal street brawler. I think with his ferocious attack and dirty fighting he would have been better suited for MMA haha.
Re: Nigel Benn one of the dirtiest fighters I have ever seen
There is a sparring of Duran vs Benn on youtube, Duran was fooling around while Benn was unleashing is powerfull swings and missing all the time. Prime Duran would eat and skin him alive
