    ja.

    alongside lennox lewis he is probably the most respected british fighter of the past couple of decades over the other side of the atlantic.

    he was willing to fight anyone and always came into the ring with the sole intention of ripping your head off. absolutely outrageous punching power at 160.

    a bad mother.

    Yes he does. I've never heard anybody say a bad word about him here from the other side of Atlantic.

    Benn was a proper fighter. Never afraid to lay it all on the line.

    Benn's fights against Logan pretty much tells you all you need to know about the man. Down in the first round and takes about 20 unanswered punches off Logan in the second before pulling out a left hook to KO him.

    :yep:yep

    He gets more than enough love on here. He was the closest thing we had to Tyson at the time in terms of raw agression and menace.

    Steve Collins came in and beat a man who was a shell of his former self.:deal

    He does get enough love I think. Not many people have a bad word to say about him and he seems to pop up on many people's top favourite fighters list's despite not being the most skilled fighter nor a ATG sort of fighter.
