    They couldnt do it in the ring. How many people can run really fast toward a downed Doug DeWitt. A lot of people. How many people can land a leaping left hook flush on James Toney. Not a whole of people

    I wasn't being serious. I was poking fun.

    For a middleweight, it was silly speed to cover the canvas with tiny steps. Athletically Benn was a natural freak.

    That's me taking away from him as a boxer. He was a bully, he was one-off gifted.

    It was the 'Carlos Monzon vs Chris Eubank Sr At MW' thread, several months ago, if I recall - in which @Bulldog24, called it as a Draw. I think he also rates Eubank in his top-ten All-Time Great Middleweights, with McCallum topping the tree (as I seem to recollect, but I might have that wrong).

    Here, in this thread he calls a Monzon/Benn match, as a win for Benn by way of KO/TKO. Benn also beats SRR, according to this poster, who refers to him as superhuman, at times.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinions, of course (as long as they don't start to look akin to being the product of a cult belief system, whereby anyone else's differing opinion is drastically devalued/dismissed, at the first given opportunity).

    This^ is some levels beneath psychobabble.

    Nothing, in the post of yours I was responding to, qualified your statement in terms of Benn's "mental strength". Indeed, it wasn't qualified in any unambiguous way.

    How convenient for you. You get to cheer lead all you like, but then retract your hyperbole by reframing it as a reverse insult. I wonder how many other boxers, to whom we might apply this method of "downtalking"?

    And, you have the gall to ask other posters if they are "for real"?

    It is clear that my knowledge is intimidating when personal insults and nonsense lies are the responses. Weak. Very weak.

    Your opinion isn't knowledge.

    What insults?

    What lies?


    I don't find you intimidating. Perhaps, you're a little confused?
