    I just watched the Benn/Mcclennan fight again,and noticed that Mcclennan was getting shaken up from Benns punches as early as the 2nd round. Now this may have had something to do with his condiion before the fight or it may just have been from the power behind the punches of Benn..idk. I also watched the 1st round and noticed Benn wasn't as hurt as i thought he was. It just took him awhile to get himself out of the ropes and back into the ring.

    When Mccleannan fought Julian Jackon he seemed to just go through him. We all know Jackson had extraordinary power, but maybe it was only devastating at 154..idk, although i am by no means saying he didnt carry alot of power at 160/168. Another post should be who had the better chin out of these three

    Agreed,
    Jackson's extraordinary Power could be seen at 147/154, but not at 160.

    who had the best chin? for me Benn.

    McClennan had the best chin: he was stunned by jackson the only man to really do so in his career.

    jackson i think is possibly the hardest hitter p4p. punching power is a very subjective thing. depends on how storng a chin an opponant you can ko,what they did afterward ect. but i think jackson is a monster banger. and in this group should be noted as heaviest hitter.

    benn had kinda clubing punches but had a nice sharp lead counter right hand and had a decent defence unlike the others. benn has bigger achievement easily.

    Oh those 3? McClellan hit the hardest at 160. P4P, Jackson, of course.

    Go watch the Youtube interview of Benn regarding the McClellan match where he said he had been hit by pick axe handles before, but absolutely nothing compared to the way Gerald hit him.

    He was in and out of tubs of icewater for days after getting out of the hospital. Shaking, unable to even pick up his daughter.

    No . Collins and Eubank had the best chin.


    about this i don't know.



    Benn was stopped twice against collins , once against watson , once against eubanks i wouldn't say he had the bigger achievemnets.

    I'd say that McCallum , Eubank and Collins did.
    I will also want to remind reggie johnson and james toney. these two were never stopped both held belts at 160 and above. both had great oposition. jorge castro also had a great chin and good oposition , although that he had so many fights that it's hard to separate his good oposition from the rest.

    First of all Eubank and Collins are not part of this thread. It is the best chin out of these guys.

    Secondly, Eubank let Collins off the hook and he was knocked sparko by Howard Eastman in sparring. Collins was tough but no Hagler.

    It's also NOT hard to seperate anyone's good competition. Silly statement what does that mean????
