    Nas no doubt. Benn made the most of his talent and potential, Nas never did. A young Nas could be a world beater with the right attitude.

    Benn. Naz was great too. But Benn was raw ****ing excitement.

    If only...

    I voted for the Prince. Simple reason is that, as good as Benn was, boxing is deprived of a real 'entertainer' at the moment. Naz all the time for me. Exciting, well-schooled heavy-hitters like Benn can be found all over the world- Naz was something completely different, IMO, and boxing NEEDS characters like him again.

    Imagine Benn coming up against the prospects we have now:

    Benn vs DeGale - Build up would be similar to Benn vs Eubank!
    Benn vs Jeffries - A war!
    Benn vs Groves - Great fight!

    Both were violent, Hamed was controversial and charasmatic.

    Benn - The last thing the World needs, and I do mean THE LAST THING, is another Naseem. He was a ***** inside and out of the ring and a complete embarrassment to the sport. Everything he was about can be viewed when you watch his "walk-in" to the Kevin Kelly fight. :-(

    I seriously believe that the Ingle gym is now being cursed for encouraging him and will produce fighters like Steve Barnes for the rest of their existance.
