Benn vs Hearns would have a great matchup. Hearns could definitely outbox him with that jab and footwork or KO Benn with the right hand. Benn would have a punches chance. It would probably go sown to who landed the big shot first... I think Barkley was a few yrs younger when he beat Hearns, though I feel Heans won the 2nd by decision and git robbed... Then Barkley got KO'd by Duran so Benn got an aging version of Barkley who had been in a few wars and on his way out. My opinion, and yes I feel Benn shoulda gotten DC'd for that cheap shot. Like Tysons ear bite, there's no place for that type of fighting ik a boxing match. Great round though...

@Zepln21 Duran actually beat him on points but yes I agree with you on the benn v hearns I'm 50 / 50 on that . Benn took mcclellans best BUT Tommy more slick than Gerald. And I think hearns had the better 1 punch finish ( accuracy timing )

I am British and of course a Benn fan but I liked Barkley too, who wouldn't!! He was a brave warrior. I am not sure what Benn was thinking during this fight.. He completely lacked any control. He was a former Amateur ABA champion.. Not some raw talent.. He knew the rules.. he had just whipped himself up to frenzy for this fight.. A great fight whilst it lasted but he was very very lucky not to be disqualified and sent packing without a purse. Props to Barkley for his bravery and class though.

Probably a good thing as they may have re-developed the idea of what the horizontal brits and its meaning (ie, they would leave you horizontal). Two of the best brits - Benn and Eubank IMHO were affected by heavy fights and tragedies. Any Benn fight where the opponent also showed up to fully fight, was blockbuster. One scary dude.

We all know Hagler v Hearns was the greatest first round fight ever, but this was a close second, love Benn, always an exciting fighter to watch🤗

Watch any of the Ward vs Gatti fights, you might rethink your rankings.

Foreman and Lyle was pretty good, too. Edit- except it was a later round, maybe fourth or fifth, I don't remember.

Yeah, that's one of my favorite brawls. It's under the radar for casuals, but truly one of the best. @@sjbell4653

Benn was lucky not to be DQed he hit Barkley when on his floor numerous times. Also the 3 knockdown rule ruined what could've been an epic war to rival Hearns/Hagler.

Sour grapes Yankee boy. Benn pulverised glass chin Barkley. Hehe

@@pyrrhicvictory6978 I dont give a flying fuck that your objective. Benn was far too good for Barkley. American boxing is the most corrupt on earth. They don't like recieving a bit of their own medicine. Bad loser's

Benn hitting Barkley when he was down should have been a disqualification. He hit him not once, but TWICE as the man was already on the canvas.

@Art-is-craft Ай бұрын

No. Barkley first lost control of the exchange and then turned his back. And when down tried to sneak out if a 10 count so as to avoid a score down. Benn was given the benefit of the exchange momentum. That is why he was not warned.

Nigel Benn got lucky with the Referee not Disqualifying him, that was dirty, when someone is on the canvas you can't be doing that definite DQ imo. Some Round though, pretty similar to The War except not as high octane, but they both were bangers & gave us all a great Round of Boxing, if you think this Referee sucked what y'all think of Tony Weekes & his performance with the Ortiz Jr v Lawson Fight was that a fix or what?
