nigel benn on roy jones

[Spicoli]

I like Benn, but Jones would have destroyed him.

Yes he would of. Richard Hall stlye

Richard Hall was a Nigel Benn clone complete with the "Destroyer" nickname and dread lock hair do.

Benn was surly faster and more skilled than Hall. But Hall had every bit the heard of Benn, and I see Benn goin for broke and getting stopped earlier than Hall did. Hall just took an incredible beating for 11 rounds.

Most dominant performance of Roy's career was the Hall fight.

Not seeing the transition really...hairstyle and nickname aside,Up to then Halls biggest win was over punch prone Gary Ballard and he had been knocked out by former tough-guy contetant and zero defense Rocky Gannon as well.Benn was on a world class level and proven against extreme adversity,Hall may have taken a helluva beating but Benn brought much,much more in the way of an offensive threat to Jones.

I said Benn was much more skilled and faster. I have his career set, I like the guy a lot.

BUT Hall had real power, and a lot of knock outs. He also challenged for the world title a couple times in his career. As well as having a great come from behind win over the late Julian Letterlough.

He was naturally bigger and a fair bit taller than Benn as well, seeing as he fought at 175 and Nigel fought between 160-168 his whole career.

Both were aggressive power punchers with less than great defense. Although Benn had better head movement no doubt.

Benn would come at Roy Jones in a similiar fashion that Hall did.

By the time Benn fought Eubanks the 2nd time he had grown at the weight and was at his best because he was relaxed and had good head movement. Eubanks could not handle this version of Benn and Jones would have had trouble, remember what he did to McClellan. After that fight he was finished, that took everything out of him.

I actually just went back over some clips of Roy versus Hall, that was a hell of a performance. It wasn't so much that Roy lost speed though he lost some, he lost his legs.

Second thing I noticed is LOL at the Roy fanboys that were upset with Calzaghe taunting him, barely thirty seconds had gone by in the first round before Roy started taunting Hall.

You know what, as roy supporter since 88' I thought it was quite funny that Joe was taunting him...showed that he should have gotten his ass out of the sport after he beat ruiz..and ironically he's always feared ending up with pugilistic dementia but if he doesn't hang the gloves up, he will have it...such a dumbass...it pisses me off everytime he fights.
