Nigel Benn talks about Gerald McClellan

[El Kabong]

I was drawing a comparison that beyond what they did for a living they weren't the best of people but it doesn't make what they did in their careers any less impressive.


Al, you're trying to tell Majesty what he can and can't put in his sig....so YEAH I reckon I can tell you what to freaking like then if I'm playing by your rules then.

Lyle i wasnt telling him to remove it , he complained people were slagging of Jackson , all i said was if he removed Jackson's picture , then how would anyone know he liked him ? therefore nobody will slate Jackson.
See my point ?
Personally i couldnt give a toss either way.
As for my rules i think you are reading a bit much into this.

Theres one thing thats always puzzeld me about that fight. At the weigth in Mc Clellan was 4lb under strange for someone struggleing at middle Its always puzzled me, was he Dehydrated, did someone fuck up.

[El Kabong]

I think it was the tough sparring that did him in before the fight...I think Benn just exacerbated the problem

Actually my post was directed towards YOU. And my issue wasnt that you were bashing michael, I could care less who bashes someone I'm gonna remain a fan.

My issue was why were you bringing up michael jackson in a thread that has absolutely NOTHING to do with him

then it's to the both of you.

And it's not always about who STARTS it, its about who picks it up and continues to run with it

[donnydarkoIRL]

Wow. Thanks for posting that!
Powerful stuff!

I can remember exactly where I was when I watched that and the look on everyones face in the pub as Benn got knocked out that ring!
But when he climbed back in we all knew he would win!

Did McClellan breed pitbulls for fighting?

Tc

Yes.
Gerald did breed Pitbulls for fighting, he had a big reputation in that "sport."

Brendan Ingle mentioned this to me.



Gerald remains a huge talking point in the world of boxing. Many who condemn his past actions, go as far as to claim he deserves his condition.
However, Gerald was a product of his environment. He is not a unique case, he's merely a man who gained recognition and had his flaws recognised by a wider audience.
Many of the people who condemn him and his clique realise that there are numerous others growing up in a similar environment yet never make any active atempts to help such peole and in turn dissuade these activities.
