    ...just supposing the ending of their legendary fight hadn't ended in the tragic manner in which it did,what do you think would have been the outcome of a rematch within,say,a year of their first meeting...i believe g-man would've done a number on benn,who was lucky,albeit brave,to make it through the first three rounds of their first encounter...

    McClellan seemed pretty damaged after 2-3 rounds even so it's kind of weird to say.

    GM also didn't look as quick-handed, dexterious and assured as usual that night, even from the start. Not as crisp, nimble or neat.

    yeah,i agree.he looked kinda distracted.but even so,benn struggled to live with him in the early going.if they'd got it on again,i'm sure the huge punching power of gm would have been too much for benn to take again,surely...?!
