nigel is without doubt 100% hall of fame, his meteoric rise was incredible, nobody became a household name quicker in any sport, his big ko's in 1987 recieved big tv coverage in uk and he was a celebrity almost overnight, and remember it wasnt eubank or hamed who started the ring entrances and showbiz in pro boxing it was NIGEL BENN (ie watson fight). after the watson fight remember everybody thought benn was going nowhere, to beat doug dewitt and iran barkley in their own backyards when nobody gave him a chance was awesome and he was the most sparkling fighter in the world and ready for superstardom in the states, if he retired after the eubank fight which he said he would if he lost he would STILL be in the hall of fame because nobody would of had such an explosive, dramatic career over the same ammount of time. to pick himself up, dust himself down AGAIN and go on to win the wbc title (against galvano IN ITALY when nobody gave him a chance), have the most exciting fight of 1993 with lou 'english rocky' gent (saw that fight in the states on abc and the announce team of alex wallau and dan dierdorf were going positively bonkers when calling it!), be robbed against eubank in the rematch (still gained a 'moral' victory that night), prove against hank wharton that he could actually box (remember alot of people were tipping hank to beat nigel- two renowned punchers, wharton stronger chin), and then beat the g-man when NOBODY gave him a chance (having to climb back into the ring after 30 secs), incredible incredible career. should of retired after the g-man fight because he was never the same after that, showtime's star attraction though for a few fights (until tyson comeback) with his showbiz arena entrys and fought in front of 80,000 at wembley. legend, legend, absolute legend. the most popular fighter ever among british fight fans.
