What would be left? A fucking massive heart and fearless desire. Don't underestimate that mate.
People overrate Benn’s heart, the man quit twice against Collins (from what I remember) whereas his rival Eubank had far more heart going to war with Carl Thompson twice! People overlook the heart and chin of Chris to suck off Benn who got banged out by both Eubank and Watson in his prime. Benn was the Black Gatti.
Of course it's a piece of piss getting hammered and literally knocked out of the ring in the first round by someone perceived as one of the World's most fearsome brutal fighters at the time, and coming back and literally fighting yourself to a standstill to beat him.
It's obviously absolutely horrific what happened to McLellan , but that fight took a helluva lot out of Benn as well. He was never the same after that, and Collins just picked his moments against Benn and Eubank.
I don't remember comparing his heart to Eubank's .Everybody knows Eubank had heart, but Benn definitely won the second fight between them!
