    In my eyes these fights were stopped a bit to early..Do any of you agree...I think these fights could've went on and become timeless classics

    Nigel Benn vs Iran Barkley
    Mike McCallum vs Julian Jackson
    Gerald McClellan vs Julian Jackson 1

    Jackson seems to be on the short end of a couple of fights.

    The existing McClellan situation always worries me when
    big punchers tear into each other,,,,and all four of the
    guys above could hit.

    Maybe, but it was a rule in that fight and Benn took advantage (perhaps luckily;) ) of it.

    The Benn-Barkley fight is a good example of why the three KD rule is ****. No reason at all why the referee can't express himself in this situation as well as any other if he is competent and if he is not competent, why has he got the gig?

    Imagine Marquez-Pacquiao I had been stopped in the first round?
