    Benn is easily more exciting than RJJ, not from a flash point of view but just in terms of sheer violence and drama. I loved the fact that Benn could be hurt, but he would come back fists flying, wobbly on his feet, and just willing him to finish the round.
    That's hardcore excitement right there.

    If Benn was around during the Haglar/Hearns years he would of been given chance to prove himself.But seeing as he was around just after that he did make a serious mark in the division.Don`t know if he was the most exciting,Roy Jones was the best.

    - it is sad to watch a boxer quit - when you then quit twice without any good reason then you are not an exciting boxer. At least not in my boxing world.

    Benn could be hurt - and then he would quit.

    Yeah he was,that`s when he beat Barkley.Barkley wingeing on afterwards about getting no rematch.I noticed in the loss against Eubank that he wasn`t quite the same.He should`ve beat Eubank.

    McClellan's other exciting fights were at Middleweight not super middleweight.

    Benn could be knocked silly by a jab, or trade devastating bombs for 12 rounds.
