Who is Britain's Ultimate Warrior?

Mr Froch. Unlike Benn, he can actually take a shot.

 

Another classic case of herd or flock behaviour. Boxings very own version of the stock market bubble.

 

Would honestly read again.

But yeah, on a serious note, Benn has always had below average punch resistance for me. In order to be the ultimate warrior, you must be able to take a jab without falling over.

been robbed blind on many occasions but doesnt whinge & moan, just dusts himself down & gets back in the ring to face anyone who dares fight him home or away, & always wants a tear up & ALWAYS gives the punters value for money... ladies & gentlemen I give you JOHN SIMPSON:deal

Hes not the ultimate brit ultimate warrior, but hes a modern day brit warrior, of that there is no doubt!

Reminds me of Micky Ward so much, for many reasons.

PS, calzaghe deserves a mention too, was there ever a more stubborn british fighter than him when he got knocked over? Always gritted his big welsh teeth & came back every time... THATS a warrior too.

 

I'm not in the mood to play games. Are you being serious or not? :think

Warrior's don't slap, they punch...hard.

 

And soon to be British champion once more. :good

 

damn right Im serious Add, im not Joes biggest fan, but you cannot deny that that man was one tough stubborn son of a gun, I watched most of his career & when it came to digging deep to pull out a victory, Joe was a master at going to the well.

Hes a warrior in my eyes, for sure. ***** streeted a few times, but always got up & came back harder...

 

Warriors are never required to dig deep against Byron Mitchell-level opposition, they blow them away in double quick time.

 

Is being a warrior in correlation with level of ability? :think

 

Lennox Lewis fought everyone who was anyone in his division

 

Perhaps not, I just couldn't resist another opportunity to poke fun at Joe's level of competition. It's an addiction.

 

Err, i can show you Benn taking murderous punches and NOT falling over.

Benn didn't have the greatest punch resistance, i agree. But he was the ultimate warrior and to suggest otherwise is just being nescient.

Some guys are just easy to drop and are vulnerable, that's not something they can do much about. It doesn't diminish their warrior spirit. One example is Tito Trinidad.

Anyway, a lot of that had to do with the way Benn fought.

Let me point something out to you. Boxing is the ultimate game of rock, paper, scissors. Sometimes a shot that looks nothing to the untrained eye from one fighter is 10 times worse then a murderous punch from another guy.

That's why Benn was able to take those vicious shots from McClellen. His chin did not stop him from acting a certain way in the ring. He took huge punches in the Watson fight. A lot of times you react during a fight from taking punishment.

You imply that in order to be a warrior one must have a above average chin. Well, what does that make someone like Rafa Marquez. Because i think his punch resistance is about the same level as Nigel Benn's.

The truth is, how you fight effects how many times you get hurt/dropped/stopped.

Someone once told me that Floyd Mayweather had a better chin then Ray Robinson because he was hurt/hit less. What that person didn't understand is, it's all relative to your style.

Robinson was an offensive machine, Floyd is a athletic defensive fighter. He takes fewer risks and throws fewer punches, because he understands, no matter how good you are, you're always vulnerable when you open up. You leave spaces the more you throw.

The more you stay in the danger zone and try to put hurt on your opponent, the more chance of you getting hurt. Benn was constantly in the danger zone. It's all about understanding the mechanics of boxing.

Benn was a no retreat, no surrender. Sure-fire, Bona fide warrior. To question his warrior spirit is to be lazy and show a uncultivated boxing eye.

 

:rofl I was clowning, you tool!

But yeah, good post.

 

:good
