I don't think anybody can deny Nigel Benn's heart as a fighter- okay he wasn't the greatest boxer but he was exciting, powerful and had alot of balls.
I don't think he failed against Eubank, Collins, Watson etc, they were all just different fighters of a similar calibre.
I always felt Collins fought Eubank and Benn on the slide and as for Watson, I always thought he was a beautiful boxer destined for great things.
You could argue that Benn had more international success than any of his rivals with wins against DeWitt, Barkley and McClellan.
Either way, I never try to list the fighters of that UK era in order of greatness, I just remember how good they all were to watch. |

I see Calzaghe winning by UD, although I don't think he can leave any doubts in the judges minds as to who the winner is. I just see his punch output and boxing ability being too much for Bhop to deal with - I may even be audacious enough to say that I think Calzaghe could stop him in the championship rounds! I don't think Cortez being referee is a worry, Calzaghe and Hatton are very different fighters... Roll on Sunday morning!! |
