    Sounds Geyish.........Dont really give a fark. I love Nigel Benn.For as flawed as He was as a Boxer His intensity and desire in the ring was One of the key factors that Imbebed me as a dedicated Fan.Fought like I use to live life...Face first.From the first day I saw him live in the Dewitt Squabble followed by the Barkley scrap...(which had many a friend bashing him for "Cheating" and Me the only one in a roomfull of Drunken Americans rooting for him).

    Nigel kind of got a bad rap after all this happened...I always found him to be a decent guy from what I have ever seen of him in interviews etc...He was a dangerous fighter that could end anything at anytime with 1 shot....It was his chin that was his biggest downfall...He was not really and overly skilled technical fighter by any means and IMO he relied on that power a bit too much like many guys with big power...Benn though was so strong it often left guys with greater boxing ability on the defensive so much and in fear of countering due to being caught by one of his swaring hooks they were taken out of their game all together...

    I was a fan

    here is a decent little video of his career I found on youtube

    Nice find Daxx.I have never seen that clip.Love the build up and caping it off with The chimes of Big Ben and the KO connects,Great.He with out a doubt is in my top five favs of all time.He went through a transition,Trying to Implement more boxing (wharton ).Thought He took the Eubank Rematch as well.He was Intense but in the Interviews he reveals a true human side.
