    The old Benn magic.

    Got me and two others thinking how much we miss the Dark Destroyer

    Boxing begins and ends with Watson, Benn and Eubank Snr, I've been a long time lurker and that's one of the things I've learned from this messageboard.

    At beginning of lockdown last year I watched a lot of career fights of Benn, Eubank, Collins and Watson to kill some time (throughly enjoyed it). Benn is in my opinion the most entertaining to watch British boxer ever.

    Nigel Benn one of my favourite British fighters of all time,he never knew when he beaten and the fact he was so dangerous when taking punishment always made his fights edge of the seat stuff.

    Benn vs McClennan is still my all time favourite fight.

    I know the outcome was absolutely horrendous, but if you just look at the fight. It had everything, absolute carnage.

    The outcome was brilliant. Nothing horrendous about it.
