Personally i always thought Toney and Roy would beat both.. but that's partly through having an "America is best" mindset. Being young it's far easier to fall for the HYPE. And America is the undisputed DADDY of hype.
When Benn beat McClellan (i thought there was more chance of an alien invasion than Benn winning) i started to cotton on

I was only young but i remember the hype surronding that fight, about Nigel Benn leaving the ring in a body bag. And Nigel Benn being hypnotized ETC, i never watched the fight but the hype was crazy as i remember it.
Anyone that knew boxing knew Benn had NO chance. Only MUGS thought Benn could win.
I lost about a weeks wages.
And even though i was cheering for Benn after the first, everyone i know absolutely SLAUGHTERED me
