Me being a Benn Fan would say he was timid and unsure and might have lost.....?
Me being a realist would say that judging from tonights Payday,He did not have too...... ;)
Also I think Benn would have folded Jackson up for Ko win

Ok twinkie,your missing the bigger picture.I know the politics of the era and Jones literally waited Benn out.At the time I was harping the point's.Think Jones "lost the plane ticket".
Read the post before you jump off in reaction Brah.
Re: How come Nigel Benn and Julian Jackson never fought?
I've drawn similarities before between Leonard Pryor and Mayweather Cotto. I feel RJJ Jackson can be classified in the same file.
Early in a career or at a time where a great (stylish) fighter is proving themselves they may come across a rugged tough fighter who they are contrasted with and a fight is proposed. Now the stylish fighter may turn down the fight as although they are confident they realise that the rugged guy could do damage to their careers. (as Jackson did, It's no coincidence the Benn-McClellan tragedy happened after Jackson)
The rugged fighter may then be avoided until such time as the stylish figher fels they have gained enough expierience to take the fight and keep safe or when the rugged guy fades (which happens before the stylish guy usually)
Re: How come Nigel Benn and Julian Jackson never fought?
I think Jackson would of KO Benn inside of 3 rounds after Jackson gets dropped and is on the verge of being KO. Benn gets over confident and walks into a devastating right hand and its all over Benn is out cold.
Re: How come Nigel Benn and Julian Jackson never fought?
At middleweight it could have worked out that way but at Supermiddle the fighter that beat McClellan would have found a way to beat Jackson.

I think the same but opposite.

Re: How come Nigel Benn and Julian Jackson never fought?
I got Jackson putting Benn to sleep the way he did Graham. Benn would rush in with his wide ass punches and BAM. Out he goes

It could happen either way both men have 1 punch KO power and they both have suspect chins so its 50-50 fight. I can't see it going more than 3 rounds though seriously.
Re: How come Nigel Benn and Julian Jackson never fought?
On a form line with McClellan Benn would KO Jackson. Defintely.
That is indisputable.

Didn't Benn get hypnotized before the fight ?? whatever it was Benn showed x2 better chin that he had in his entire career he was not human that night.
Re: How come Nigel Benn and Julian Jackson never fought?
True.
Not the hypnotism thing though.
Hypnotism is bollocks.. In my own personal experiences.

Can you answer me this as well because i was very young at that time i can't remember clearly. But i seem to remember Gerald McClellan saying he would put Benn in a body bag ?? i think it was in the paper or something i remember my family talking about it.
Re: How come Nigel Benn and Julian Jackson never fought?
Yeah Gman made comments like that.. it's widely known Mclellan was brought over to KO Benn.

If it wasn't for a ref who kept pushing McClellan away every 5 seconds he would of KO'ed Benn
