    Gotta love Nige! Pity all the big fights for him were at SMW; he was a small MW to start with so 168 was way out of his comfort zone. At 160llbs his power was otherworldly. An incredible athlete back then - powered by 20 cigarettes per day - and still sharp now.

    I think he would legit still be dangerous to a lot of guys in a 3 rounder.

    What an honour it must've been for those 2 to share a ring with and get some one on one tuition from a legendary OG like Mark Tibbs.

    Nigel Benn was shot to **** at 32, so, No, he hasn't still got it at 54.

    Nice to see he is still fit and working out though. :thumbsup:

    One of my fav fighters..Great heart, and boy was he dangerous once he was hurt. Great to watch.
    He's looking great and glad he is healthy.

    This. Sadly, because he was brilliant to watch at his savage peak.
