    He did mention the Collins fight and I felt that he looked like a shot fighter lacking the will to carry on.

    Yes I agree Benn deserved every penny based on his contribution before this fight.

    for me and I would guess 99.9999% of the world population, a man who thinks a soldier in 90s Northern Ireland who everyday risks his head getting blown off just walking down the street, has a glass heart, is a fool beyond measure. Benn served in Belfast as a squaddie.

    curious... only for how bad the thread topic is. Is worse possible?

    also the absolute maximum possible irony of the name true hero...

    If you were to make a list of fighters with the biggest hearts, Benn would be on it.

    The first Collins loss was due to an ankle injury and the second loss was his lastfight and his body was shot due to the punishment taken in wars during his career. Benn had the heart of a lion

    I'm actually 3-0 in fights, son. 2 by KO

    When I was 8 I won by stoppage when the teacher dragged me off a kid and stopped me pulling his ears.

    When I was 12 I had a fight on the playground which I'd have won by UD before it got split up.

    When I was 14 I had a fight at the swimming pool winning by TKO.


    So... 3-0 :hi::hi::hi:

    Undefeated.

    3-0 :hi:

    That doesn't scream fairy to me.

    4-0 actually if you include the time I pushed someone off a chair in assembly.

    What's your record then? Fact is, I'm unbeaten in 28 years :rasta
