Gerald McClellan?

never seen his fights live, man from the highlights he could hit like a mofo. whats the though on him if he didnt fight Nigel Benn? would he have went down on an all time great?

 

Don't forget that Benn was out on his feet at one point during this fight.How he survived is beyond me.:bbb

 

Not that hard to survive with a referee like that.

But still, Benn had good bob and weave skills, and McClellan wasn't exactly a pin-point puncher. Ref did have a lot to do with it, though.

 

Oh bull**** an american loses so lets blame the referee blah blah blah.Benn won the fight get over it.

 

McClellan was a very sad story... the ref would have stop round 1 if it was fought today.

 

He was a good fighter, how good he would have been is unknown.

He gets overrated due to the potential of what he might've been, as a lot of fighters tend to get.

 

Roy Jones jr vs McLellan...Roy by UD!!! but that's a fight I would've loved to see. I remember that McClellan did beat Roy in the amateurs though.

 

G man was a beast. As peeps here have already stated it's hard to say because it's really only potential people can go on. For the fights he did have though, he was a force to be reckoned with, he did eat a lot of shots however, which is baaaaad.:deal

 

I give credit to Benn for his amazing comeback after that round... most fighters would have gave up! but after what hapoen to McClellan i wish he should have stayed down... :-(

 

I'm English and a Benn fan but that Referee was a disgrace.

 

Wasn't the damage to Mcllelan intially due to headbutt (and later gotten worse due to punches)?Just asking, haven't seen that fight in a long time.

 

there was what looked like a possible headbutt late in the fight when benn tripped after throwing a punch, but on closer inspection it looks like no more than one of benn's dreadlocks grazing the g-mans face.

 

It's only Brits that make these statements.

 

Ref had **** all to do with it, the rules are 20 seconds if you get knocked out of the ring, Benn got back and beat the mother ****er, end of story ,


although i hate McClellan for his nasty sadistic dog fighting past, he was a great fighter, and is a shame what happened to him,
