    this true?

    because Bunce says he lost his hearing, he must have regained it then since as there is nothing wrong with his hearing now.

    McClellan's family made Don King charter a special ambulance plane to fly him back to the US against the UK doctors advice.

    After all the precautions put in place after the tragedy with Watson Gerald was doing ok until they moved him.

    Send it to the McClellan family - see if they sue or not.

    take it with a grain of salt. it is implied that he would of been alright had he stayed in the u.k. which for all we know the timebomb was just passed from one country to another. but also the American press were talking about is it dangerous to keep a man in such a condition in a national health service. surely an insured private hospital is better. i think the paranoia of outside the u.s. is awful health care. coupled with the mcclelans to be home with thier brother where they can take care of him.

    so i don't blame them. but they did it for wrong reasons.



    Jermain Taylor stayed in Germany for a decent apart of a month before flying back after his horrific ko loss to Abraham.
    i think some people looked into the history. thought "this doesn't look good just keep it cool for a while"

    It's fairly well accepted that this is true.

    Nothing wrong with his hearing? Since when?

    It's his comprehension not his hearing, it was said in that documentary on itv.

    Yeah, that's what his sister said. Doesn't quite fit in with him constantly barking 'louder' when he was interviewed way back when. His hearing obviously is impaired or people wouldn't have to shout into his ear from a matter of inches.

    Hes about 80% deaf acording to the book "War, Baby - The glamour of violence" which is about the Benn McClellan fight.

    It is clear that he has hearing trouble and I've heard this point for a while. If it is irrefutable then it should be screamed from the hill tops because it is huge neglect. His family have always acted like they have a chip on their shoulder.

    G-Man wasn't a nice person and his injury is not Benns fault. It is a by product of the fight and a tragic one. Benn himself was physically brutalised from the fight.
