    Nigel Benn ... warrior... is there any reason why he shouldn't be in the HOF? Balls like boulders.
    Honestly, if Mayweather & Pacman had only one testicle each that was like Benn's they would have had a trilogy of fights by now.

    You seem to be doing exactly the same re Steve Collins.

    Go away and work on a proper argument without bringing nationality into it. You might do better.

    .....but i doubt it.

    Collins was a beast against Benn, admittedly, he looked so physically strong and almost indestructable.

    I've seen almost all his big fights... I love the guy and the Eubank rivaly!
    But I'm from Rotterdam, Holland so just on the other side of that big puddle, don't know if that counts too :yep

    Benn may have been past it when he fought Collins,but powerpunchers don't lose their power.He hit Stevie with everything but the kitchen sink and couldn't put a dent in Stevie's chin.Then,Stevie proceeded to destroy him.

    I suppose your take is that Benn never landed any of his power shots because he was shot and Collins proceeded to outbox him due to his superior speed and movement.Enlighten us,please.
