His style was so similar to Mike Tyson the way he kept low, bobbing and weaving to close the distance and then unleashes the hook… pure class

nigel benn is the most exciting British fighter ever. went to america and beat de witt who had never been knocked down before. barkley had just beaten the legendary tommy hearns and benn destroyed him. give the man the credit he deserves. One of the truly great British fighters, EVER.

Not the most technically gifted but he had the heart of a lion, and fought like one. A legend.

"The man beat me good, fair and square" no excuses, he just went out there and gave it his all, and made it a war too!!! Eubank worked for it!!!

Prodigy fits Benn sooo well

Those were the days... Arguably the best era in middleweight history.

For me, Benn was the greatest. His comeback against McClellan was truly astonishing. A magnificent warrior, and a hero.

I loved Nigel Benn and I've said it before and i'll say it again. this is the greatest sporting video on youtube. the editing is perfection

Absolutely nailed it. Perfect song choice, nicely edited, captured the warrior that is Ben perfectly. Good stuff!

Nigel benn and mike tyson...still the only 2 fighters to actually give me goose bumps to watch..

One of the most exciting fighters ever to step into the ring.

This legend gave me goosebumps even before he stepped in the ring. The middleweight tyson.

I’ve been watching this highlight reel of Benn’s basically since it was first posted. Never let this die.

Nigel Benn one of the best ever fighters the UK ever produced

I followed Nigel Benn the dark destroyer when he first came on the scene,loved his aggression animal killer instinct always put on a show never ducked anyone,what a legend👊🥊🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

my favourite British fighter of all time (at middleweight) which was his domain, he was everything a fighter should be.

Just seeing this comp has brought me to tears. I remember watching the Benn v McClennan fight live on ITV as a teenager, and watching McClennan getting counted out on one knee, then walking back to his corner on strong legs, and I remember thinking that something's not right. Then watching the close-ups of him in his corner, blinking, holding his head in pain.......so, so, sooo sad :(

Benn trained & fought like a Spartan, mind, body, heart & soul working in perfect harmony to achieve the goal of utter destruction of his enemies.

Soooo aggressive just like Iron Mike Tyson!!!!!!! Benn the Dark Destroyer!!!!!!! LEGEND

"Let's have some parliamentary procedure here" ahahaha

"Now you might start believin' in the dark destroyer . I'm number 1 second to noone. " That line gives me the chills everytime.

An absolute fucking beast was Benn . Proper enjoyed hurting people . Like Duran , a genuinely scary geezer ! What entertainment he brought .

I've lost count of the amount of times I have watched this over the years!

Was a huge fan of Nigel Benn. Amazing power and heart. Truly, one of the most exciting fighters ever and this is a brilliantly put together tribute to him. Superb choice of soundtrack and edited to perfection. Great job!

I still watch this video every single week. Have done for a long time. Would kill to meet Nigel 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

Back in the day I scouted Nigel Benn for a well known fighter (no names), but it would have been a big fight (and it was not Roy). Benn was well known, but fighters don't base shit on popularity. After watching Benn, I knew there was NO WAY the fighter I was scouting for could beat him. So I had a way with words when conveying messages like this. My report to his camp was three words: 'He's an animal'. I never heard back from that camp and was worried I'd pissed them off. After the McClellan fight, he sent me a wine and cheese back with only the words "Thank you" on it. Ha ha Real shit

Nigel was one of the best England has ever seen. I was lucky to be able to be at hes fights. All the best to Nigel. Yury Gomez 🥊☯️

Such a spot on tribute to the most exciting boxer Britain has ever produced!

An absolute warrior. One of my all time favourites. I watched almost all his fights live. A legend.

Let's not forget Benn was a small middleweight, fighting at super middle because that's where the money was at. Had brutal one-punch KO power at 160llbs and that didn't quite translate to 168. And all this on 40 cigs a day. Legend.

Watching him as a kid he was electric every time he fought. What a warrior.

Returning to the ring? Nah, the missus won't let me. 2019: HMB

What a mixture, a kid who went and got made into a man in the army yet still had the attitude of a London yute. I am such a NB fanboy, I don't give a fuck, I even seen him DJ and he was useless at mixing but he's my favourite fighter ever.

Nigel Benn must be the best fighter the UK has produced When he fought Eubanks a second time I was convinced he won

A savage combination of speed and power. One of the greatest British boxers who ever lived.

I’m 50 now (🤣) brought-up watching Benn; most exciting fighter i’ve seen in my lifetime. Loved every minute of he’s career. Now privileged to be able to watch he’s son 🙌

Still my favourite fighter along with Tommy Hearns

One of the few men in boxing that genuinely scared me even as a fan. A total brute of a man in the ring. Not many got better when theya re hurt.

One of the best boxers ive ever seen for pure fighting heart, God bless you Nigel, stay safe and thanks for the entertainment. What a fantastic era for British boxing when you was around, and always a gentleman.

What an absolute warrior. A true legend the best NIGEL BENN 👊❤️

My favourite boxer who I had the great fortune to meet while he was DJing. This video is brilliant and showcases just how ferocious he was was. Every fight was like something from Rocky. Pure box office gold!!!!

Benn is a great fighter and one of my personal favourites. Watching this with the prodigy brought it all back.

Absolute legend, love the guy. His rivalry and trilogy with eubank was special. One of boxings pride of britain ❤️

Will always remain my favourite British boxer, there's been nothing like him

Nigel Benn a true British boxing LEGEND !

Benn was a real badass

Brilliant highlights. Benn was a true warrior and a real legend. One of the most exciting boxers of all time. Thank you!

back when british boxing was at its best. Nigel Benn is a legend, tough as nails. #missthe90s

Good Vid. Brought back a lot of great memories. It was a great time for British Middleweight and Super Middleweight boxing.

Fantastic upload fella, great soundtrack, you nailed it! One of the best vids on KZfaq, well done!

Benn was and is my all time favourite fighter He fought like a paddy when he got hurt he was at his best And was an Ilford boy Long live Nigel benn

Excellent production - best Benn compilation Ive seen. Great fighter with tremendous heart, great era for British fighters! Loved the way you timed the punches to the Prodigy - class!

what a brilliant video

Absolute warrior 🙌🏻

Such astonishingly beautiful ferocity.

This man hit for every fighter.Respect remember being young watching this true warrior 👊

2:10 for the next five seconds is my most vivid and best, most memorable moment in ALL boxing history. Even now in 2020, it evokes such memory's and emotion in me. Nigel Benn, a pure FIGHTER!!!!! Lays all on the line, heart on his sleeve and a nice guy too. Chris Eubank was also phenomenal, but Benn will always remain my favourite boxer of all time.

I remember watching Ben in my teenage years. God he was awesome. I was a soldier, Benn was ex forces, I backed him all the way, my brother supported Eubank. Interesting times! Loved how Bruno was screaming at the side of the ring during the McClelland fight, it seemed like such an impossible task. The odds so stacked against Benn, the man had the heart of a lion. Was sad to see what happened to McClelland after the fight, no boxer should have that happen too them, but I guess that's the risk they take..a brutally lonely risk.

I loved the era of nigel .he truly was a great British warrior in boxing .sensational.and gracious in defeat against eubank. not sure if this breed exist anymore...legends

gotta say this is probably one of the best edited boxing tributes I've ever watched music everything is perfect and then the bit with gerralld mcclellan at the end top man👌

Win lose or draw LOVED A FIGHT great value thanks for some awesome nights 👍🏻

One of the most exciting and destructive boxers ever.

This is by far, hands down, the proper McCoy of boxing highlight videos! The best I've ever seen, cheers to you, jhuan0! Keep doing what you;re doing - it's marvelous.

This is one of the best things on KZfaq. Nigel Benn was a special fighter. Pure wild-man. Mad respect.

5:46 Don King waiting, he propositioned Benn in the ring as his fighter was nearly dying.

why aint nigel benn and chris eubank in the hall of fame?

A smashing video about a boxer who I adored watching right through his career. Just a warrior.

Well put together, The Dark Destroyer, one of the most exciting fighters.

Whata seriously cool video great fottage awesome upload. Yeh I miss Nigel Benn he was an awesome exciting fighter, my uncle was his sergeant majour in the army when he did his stint in the now disbanded royal fusiliers through david fucking cammeron. When he fought Michael Watson my uncle drove all the soldiers down in a mini bus he wanted an armed guard to the ring of all his old soldier mates awesome. Yeh he was awesome a total fucking animal well missed he made ricky hatton look like mary poppins lmao........

My dad's mate bought a car off a fella years ago, he went into the house to pay this fella, he had loads of boxing memorabilia he had won everything and anything my dad's mate said to him what happened? He said I came up against some young fella they called the dark destroyer and he fucking battered me. Nigel Benn for you.

Win lose or draw, no other fighter gave what Benn did in every fight. A true British warrior and Boxing legend. Rest assured Nigel, no other British fighter comes close.

this video if bloody amazing. I've not seen a better mix for Nigel Ben anywhere...

One of the firmest handshakes I've ever held. Btw, those punches were bang on with the beat! Awesome video! Shame the Mclenan fight ended in tragedy. May God bless Gerald and have mercy on Benn.

😁...brilliant editing...best vid I’ve seen in a long while...10/10

i watch this every month to stay motivated

Win or lose, the most breathtakingly exciting British fighter Ive ever seen in my 6 + decades

Who else is here after hearing of his return?

Pity benn wasn't around a few years ago... Would of fixed Carl froch crooked beak

Brilliant vid. Nigel was one of the most exciting fighters ever. My favourite British fighter of all time.

Excellent tribute.

Benn was never happier than when he was having a good tear up!!

the timing in this video is ace

Incredible montage, perfect song choice.

Such a good effort. I think I have watched this 100 times.

Nigel Benn was a stone cold killer. He was a bad bad man with a perfect nickname! The Dark Destroyer!

One word , warrior ....

This is such a brilliant compilation. Whoever made it, thank you for this.

Undoubtedly one of the best fighters ever. Massive heart. In and out the ring. Top bloke. Many thanks for all the exciting fights.

When i was watching these fights as a youngster it was awesome! What the hell happened to boxing

Makes today s boxing look mediocre . nowadays no characters, no excitement, no heart, we were all spoiled during the 80 s and 90 s so many good fighters in all divisions. It seemed like there was a great fight on every couple of weeks back then. Carl Froch for me is/was the only fighter worth watching in recent times. Miss those Saturday night fight nights x

Favourite boxer of all time. Proper legend

What a spot on video fella... this is what growing up with 80's and 90's boxing was all about... Benn, Eubank, Hearns, Bruno, Prince Nazeem, Tyson and many more... Would love to meet each of these absolute legends and shake their hands 1 by 1.

Benn had mixed reviews in the UK. Gerald McClellan was arguably the best in his division. Jones may argue otherwise but they were the one two. McClellan was a top ten P4P er and a reputation for early KO's so for Benn this was a fight with neon lights outside it saying danger as McClellan was predicting a vicious early KO. Benn was a heavy underdog in a field of 2. Very few people gave Benn a fighting chance. This is how much of a favourite McClellan was and up there with the biggest shocks. I remember watching it on TV, no PPV then, and for Benn a truly amazing victory but a sad ending.

I hated Eubank, but you have to admit he was a wonderful fighter.

This video is immense perfect music for it

This compilation is a masterclass in editing.

lets get it straight, benn was the most exciting fighter we have ever had in britain. fought proper opponents de witt, barkley, mclellan to name a few. would have had a tear up with hagler, hearns etc maybe even beat them?

The last boxer I bothered watching. I really liked him. :)

Man this probably the best boxing tribute video I've ever seen, the music and the timing of the cuts so well done. Good shit bruh!

True warrior. Saw him fight Iran Berkley in Vegas in 90 ....I was actually gutted it only lasted 3mins.
