    And this one, I mean I've never heard or seen someone being hit so hard and completely out, had to be carried out of the ring!

    I had the pleasure of growing up watching the Dark Destroyer on The Big Fight Live. The man will always be a legend to me.

    Benn was an animal in the ring for sheer power, speed and agression he was on another level. Only other fighter that compares in my life time was Tyson.

    One of Doug's ears had turned BLUE after a round or two with Nigel!

    It was unreal. Some of the shots that night were banging DeWitt's head from one side of the ring to the other!!

    At middleweight hi punching power was something else, but it dropped dramatically at SMW, ad under tibbs became more of a counter puncher/boxer, and wasnt really seen again untill the Mclellan fight.
