BENN WASN'T TOO CONFIDENT ABOUT A FIGHT WITH RJ BECAUSE HE TURNED DOWN 50 MILLION DOLLARS TO PUT IT ON HOLD (AND LOST IN A SHOCK UPSET TO AN ANCIENT MALINGA). RJ SAID BENN/MCCLELLAN WAS THE "BEST FIGHT SINCE HAGLER/HEARNS" AND SAID BENN AND HIM WOULD BE THE "BIGGEST FIGHT SINCE HAGLER/LEONARD". THANKS TO NIGEL BENNS RELUCTANCE WE DID NOT GET TO SEE IT

RJJ would have schooled Benn...Benn was nowhere near James Toney's league much less Roy's

You've only ever seen one round of Benn, the 1st-round against Eubank in 1990 that I posted here Lol.

No I've seen him vs Barkley, more of the Eubank fight, parts of the McClellan fight and I've seen basically enough to know he had trouble with speed, his chin wasn't unbreakable, and Roy would have the PERFECT style to beat him...Nigel's punches were wide and slow...powerful but too slow to catch Roy

In those particular clips, it may appear that way.

But at the start of his career, his speed of hand was absolutely sick! And at his best, under Tibbs, he was a very compact puncher always in perfect position with the bobbing and weaving.

[El Kabong]

yes under Tibbs, I always hear about it but never see any conclusive evidence that has me thinking "Well maybe you're right"

[smashup]

Nigel Benn at his best was in a class of his own, and I would pick him to KO Roy Jones Jr. Definately.

Gotta agree with DD
Benn would have absolutely BATTERED Jones silly...
No question in my mind whatsoever.
Some of these Yanks (not all) get right on my f*cking tits to be honest when it comes to UK fighters..
Hatton won't do this,Calzaghe won't beat this guy etc etc...
Total disregard for Benns ability and heart and i reckon A LOT of it is bitterness after putting that Prick Mcllelan in a wheelchair.
SMASHUP
The tide has turned whether you like it or not and the The UK and Euro fighters in general are starting to dominate the fight world.
This is fact and some (NOT ALL) of our US friends can't deal with it.
Nuff Said

[El Kabong]

I don't disregard Benn's ability but I don't think that he could beat Roy...I think compared with Roy at 168 he's out of his league!

I think the better test for RJ would have been Eubank.

But you've never watched a Benn fight

[WWatt]

I think the better test for RJ would have been Eubank.

And yes, Jones said himself that Eubank was the one guy he feared.

I think Eubank would of given him fits! Eubank probably would of picked up the early rounds against Jones before Eubank's lack of stamina kicked in.

Prime RJJ beats anyone at SMW, period.

Not if Tommy got the right hand cranked up

I do hope that my above comments don't get taken out of context (i did state that SOME and NOT ALL our US friends should give the UK boys a little more respect)
No harm meant but the times are a changing and boxing worldwide is too and radically so imo.
