Gerald was very smart and methodical with excellent punch selection, like you said he was a body snatcher in his own right.. he was fast set up his punches well, he was like a surgeon the way he would carve up his opponents and leave them broken.. It was a shame to me the way his career ended, but like you said he was just 2-3 fihts away from the same result with Benn if they never waged such a brutal assault on each other.. Gerald could have beaten anyone at 160-168 in the history of the sport not saying he would but he was on par with the best of them.. He had more than a punchers chance he was a an excellent all around fighter with a great chin
    Well everyone, but Roy Jones Jr, he only hada puncher's chance against him, and Roy was a totally different fighter htan he was when they were amateurs.

    I agree 100%, no one would make a fool of him not even RJJ. Benn was just insane that night and showed his toughness and determination, something RJJ never had, he was just pure talent and no balls IMO
