I like McClellan vs the '95 Eubank. Eubank could be out hustled and Gerald was not just some club swinging bomber regardless of early kos over undeniably some guys straight out of a witness protection program. He had some fast hands and was a crippling body hitter too. The guy could box , flat out. His probs early were tension with Manny, shit sparring, numerous fights falling through and putting on damn near 12-15 lbs on fight night on occasion. When he split with Manny he was making improvments but he and others were badly mistaken going into Benn fight. All the blab about Benns glass chin, Benn losing his punch and trying to be a boxer. The best thing that happened to Nigel and the worst for Gerald was damn near decapitating Benn right off the bat. Benn just instantly reverted into his roots and went free swinging, feet planted bomber. Had he stayed out, tried to box and not be prepared to be badly ko'd himself I think Gerald may have power boxed him down the stretch. He started the fight from the ko and had no choice to maintain at fever pitch or fall. I think he approaches Eubank much wiser and with much less assumption. Different mental make up, style, power etc between Benn & Eubank.
