    If you had to choose, which fighter would you rather bring back?

    Julian Jackson, obviously. Nigel Benn was a British hypejob.

    I like Jackson better but in todays landscape I'd like to see Benn...Some pretty hectic matches for him at 160-168.

    Jackson at 160 would be pretty aces.

    I like Jackson better between the two, but I'd rather bring Benn back, only for Ward to have someone to fight and to have an all-out war between Benn and GGG at 160.

    The guy fought most of his career at Super Middleweight, a weight class dominated by Eurobums(yet has been rightfully brought back to America) and his best win was by a punch drunk McClellan, who was having headaches and seeing double vision after he had those vicious fights with Jackson. Come on bro, the guy lost to some random guy from South Africa shortly after that McClellan fight, then lost to an Irishmen. :lol::lol::lol:

    The Hawk of course. Watching him put people to sleep are some of the funniest moments in boxing history.

    Julian Jackson hands down. Bringing back arguably the hardest punching boxer in history is never a bad thing.

    Jackson was probably more skilled, and definitely more "beautiful" to watch.

    However, Benn was a pitbull that never, ever stopped coming at you (and he still has great skills.) We need as much of that as we can in today's boxing.

    I say bring 'em both back, and Hagler as well, while you're at it.



    Imagine Golovkin against those three guys? Even a prime Maravilla? - The hype would be falling like tears from a clown.

    Any Americans worth noting on his resume? Please, don't even dare say McClellan unless you're just another shameless swine. That fight made the Hatton-Tszyu fight look fair. Saying it was a semi-UFC fight would also sound cheap to what actually happened in there. Shoving at all, getting knocked out but pushed back in the ring and helped up by the referee, getting random breaks when needed, combinations to the back of the head, elbows and everything else you could think of.
     
  12. Obviously you are AMerican of sorts. Firstly you quote EURO bums and Dominated together Hmmm. So those Euro Bums being Eubank,Benn, Collins and Watson all fought each other. And you have a PROBLEM with the best at the time fighting each other?? ******.

    And how was Jackson getting KO'd in round 1 and round 5 vicious??
    The Irishman you are talking about also beat Eubank
    And so what if a fighter from SA gets a SD win, do all fighters you follow have a ZERO in the loss bracket??

    All the fighters I follow aren't overrated bums like most fighters in Britain. Their best fighters are a Canadian and a welshmen who slaps people silly.

    true, he had tons of help from everyone in a position to help him, but he did make the most of all that help.
