I'm not trying to be a dik but have you ever seen Gerald McClellan fight....Do you know how many 1st round KO's the man had Tommy would be lured into a slugfest about 15 seconds into the fight instead of Boxing Gerald....Gerald was a freak and when the bell rang he only had 1 speed and that was 10000000mph..The bombs he hit Benn with would of destroyed Tommy period....Dont let what happened against Benn fool anyone Nigel got some big time homecookin, Nigel Benn was getting pounded while he was hung up on the ropes and wasnt able to intelligently able to defend himself he got TKO'd....BUT!!!! A crooked referee let the fight continue and Held Gerald back on 2 occasions during the 1st round to let Benn get his witts back....The truth is Gerald was a Murderous puncher and could KO hearns in a gunfight...If not convinced of the outcome go watch the Hagler fight...Hagler could punch but not nearly as hard as Gerald McClellan...in a shoot out Gerald would KO Tommy Hearns..
Hagler fight isn't a good comparison imo, because I don't think McClellan could have stood up to the barrage that Marvin did, not in any way.
