    Herol Graham getting sparked by Julian Jackson when on the verge of victory.
    Every time Frank Bruno was stopped.
    Hatton getting poleaxed by Pacquaio (I was there for that one)

    Seeing a Meldrick Taylor interview in the late part of his career was upsetting.

    Joe Louis as a greeter at a Las Vegas casino to earn money in his last days. Ali suffering from Parkinsons. Ray Robinson suffering from dementia in his last days. These were the best to practice the sport and to see them go out the way they did breaks my heart.

    An unwell Ali being battered by Larry Holmes. Too young to understand properly but picked up more of the significance from my family who were watching too.

    Watson and McClellan as above.

    From recent memory the utter abysmal effort Matthysse put in against Pac.

    Really? Expert are you? Did you treat McClellan in hospital? and why didn't you report these findings at the time?

    What proof do you have that Benn hitting McClellan with a few rabbits punches caused any of his problems?

    You don't have any proof, none whatsoever, you are assuming, guessing, even the Dr's who treated McClellan couldn't pinpoint when (what round) or what punches caused his injuries.

    In conclusion, fantastic victory for Benn against a man who loved dog fighting and reportedly taped Labradors mouths shut and let his pit bulls rip them to pieces.
