    We'll agree to disagree on the subject of George Benton, McVey. My opinion is that Benton was a very underrated craftsman...and an uncrowned champ. A fight with Georgie Abrams and George Benton would have been very good...and I don't dismiss Abrams as a winner in that fight either. Saying Benton "had no balls" is disrespectful and dismissive...but, as said earlier, your opinion is your opinion...Enough said.

    Hmm, good question. Well, H2H I could see Tua a lot of the HWs on the list. It would probably be by come from behind KO, we all know he's not outboxing them.

    If I had said he had No balls that would have been disrespectful and dismissive but I didn't.I said he didn't have the balls to be a champion theres a difference.
    Any man who is a professional fighter has courage, all have it to varying degrees, my point was Benton did not have the mentality to go that extra mile ,ie his balls weren't big enough.
    End of..

    I agree. A dangerous banger. One of the hardest-hitting HWs ever, in my opinion.
