You may have pointed it out, but if you pay attention, you will see I posted before you and didnt include Collins in the British selection but did include him in the rest of the world selection, so you havent come out with any great revelation atsch. In fact you didnt include him sighting it to be because he is Irish, rather than saying he shouldnt be included in a British selection as he is not British. Obviously you have shown again that you are a bit lost and clueless when entering into debate. Yes probably best you dont try and answer, as you wont want to make yourself look a fool again
I cant agree. Benn scored KD against Malinga and it was a good tough fight, which it had been before when they first fought, so cant see where you are coming from. Also Benn didnt dramatically fade after McClellen. His 2 wins after were both inside the distance and one against a former and future SMW world champ. Losing a SD to a world class fighter in a debateable fight doesnt make someone faded just like that. How is the ****ogy poor? Froch lost a close fight to Kessler, a faded unwell, double vision suffering Kessler who was coming off a bad loss and who would not fight much after, where as Benn lost a debateable SD to a fighter who would go on to reign after and who was also world class. Consider also how Froch would be taken to a Mdec by G Johnson and the ****ogy looks more in my favour
Benn himself said that he was kind of gone. And we know how rare that is for a fighter to admit. Malinga was a good fighter, but not great, and Benn retired after the loss. When he fought Collins, he was nothing like the fighter he'd once been. I think you're the only person I've debated with who doesn't think that Benn was faded at that point. Your previous an*logy doesn't work in your favour at all. Kessler was a better fighter than Malinga, and he had two close competitive fights with Froch. Andre Ward beat Froch with a fractured hand, which was a great win. And Froch having lost a close defeat to Kessler beforehand, didn't change that. But you can't do like for like comparisons with Ward's win over Froch, and Steve's wins over Benn, because the circumstances were completely different. Froch went onto have great wins after he'd lost to Ward, whereas Benn retired because he'd got nothing left. So all things considered, Ward's win over Froch was much better than Steve's wins over Benn. I don't know how you can it any different.
Ireland isn't part of Britain, but it is part of the British Isles - which you so kindly started off your list as.
its an archaic term used when Britain invaded and occupied Ireland (eire) at best. there is nothing british about Ireland, you'll find the term is not used in any part of eire. and if its not used in the area in question, I go with that definition, not some relic term from cromwells massacres and Victorian mass murders that brits haven't updated there history lessons on. but you are welcome to define an area by the definition given to it by a different country rather than definition by its own natives.
What post dummy. You obviously couldnt name another British SMW. Dont worry, its another day today, and you will have had tiome to do some research, like when you admitted to not seeing fights you were commenting on :nut
how do you know I couldn't? prove it. you flop repeatedly. I cant believe you are so dumb that you've spent the last 2 pages trying to prove I cant name another british smw when you've seen me post about over a dozen in my posts. no wonder they call you failey.
bailey, After a loss, yes. But Benn was saying that he knew he was kind of gone going into the fight, which is why he put a huge bet on himself, to give himself a lift. I think the fight against Gerald took a lot out of him, both physically and mentally. He looked faded to me against Malinga, and he looked as though he'd got nothing left against Collins. Fighters can retire for different reasons. But in Benn's case, he'd got to the end of the road.
