    It was interesting to see those statistics on '3-fight averages.' I'm not sure if they would ever mean anything, though. Anyone know why they stopped doing them?

    Wow even skinnier than the first time i watched a Superfight with him vs Jones Jr.

    Toney was never weight drained he straight up liked to eat too much.You can see it over the years through the weight classes.

    Interestingly enough, I don;t think they ever explained what those 3 fight averages were based on. At least I was too young to remember if they did.

    To be fair we're talking about Nigel Benn. Beating the baddest mother ****ers on their own turf was both business and pleasure for Nigel.

    WTF?!

    It was an all out a war, Barkley nearly knocked his ass out but then got knocked out himself. Barkley fought like a bad mother****er in that fight. Ben too.

    They both are. Benn never stood up to the vicious punches of a Tommy Hearns.
