    I liked the old Dempsey-Tyson version from the late '80s, was never a fan of him after he changed his style, he could look a bit awkward and lost a bit of power. Although he was better for it.

    I prefer this highlight video of Benn personally, too bad Youtube had to mute the song they used for the highlight.

    the thing is , you can compile such a video for almost half of the fighters in recent decades when tomato cans are used to feed up and coming prospects. his only high profile 1st rd stoppage was against iran barkley.

    Benn became a very efficient fighter at one time, easing up on the slugging to apply more educated pressure. After Watson originally did him and then Eubank, Benn flirted with the idea of retirement, which was a strange mentality for one to have who would then again hit the gym at 100mph.

    Benn had that irresistible eagerness to him that very few had. There's aggression and then there's savageness, and Benn had the latter in spades.

    Great viewing.

    Yeah these guys were mostly bums, the Barkley demolishion was impressive though. Interstingly Ronnie Yoe ended up 1-10 and was also stopped in a round by James Toney.
