At that point in time Erik could do what ever he wanted to whoever he wanted, he remains one of my favorite fighters ever. you are acting like he tea bagged him or something !!!
He fought a brazilian,dos santos i believe, in a fight just before the first Nigel Benn fight.He knocked him out in the first round with a right swing and while the Brazilian was counted out he posed before the tv camera,sending a statement to Benn who had claimed Chris didn't have a knockout punch.
