Benn was not a former champ at this point. This is before his defeat to Watson, and well before his first title win. Benn was still a pretty green fighter, as Watson showed. Tremendous performance by Duran nonetheless

The Reverend Sam exactly the Benn that fought McClellan would have knocked Duran out of the ring like a cartoon character

[@thereverendsam413]

@@andylea2377 Which Duran? The Duran who pushed Hagler would have beaten Benn, IMO. Focussed Duran was one of the greatest fighters to ever grace the ring, and was a handful for even the very best 25lbs above his natural weight. Benn's raw power would not be enough to get the job done. Hearns managed it against a lazy and unfocussed Duran, but nobody else ever did. Benn improved greatly after the point of this spar, and Duran of course was on the wain. There is no way for a peak Duran and peak Benn to meet, and peak Benn would have beaten what was left of Duran at that point, there I will agree with you

this was a year before duran knocked down iran barkley!

[@Mogh]

Going into 1989, if we had seen Duran vs. Benn instead of Duran - Barkley and Benn - Watson, Duran would have knocked Benn out. Nigel hadn't learned to pace himself properly and was less defensive minded at this stage. He would expend most of his energy early against the slick and sturdy Duran, and Roberto would start to counterpunch him to death and methodically wear him down before pressing for a stoppage.

[@MRBp2024]

Is that why Benn KO Iran Barkley in 1 round and Tommy Hearn was KO by him and Duran won a Split decision. After Benn KO Barkley he beat Hearns again and went on to win 4 world titles. Nigel Benn KO the beast that was Gerald McClellan and he battered Chris Eubanks. Nigel benn will never get the respect even though he beat a hall of famer in McClellan as a world champion who was an underdog in his home country. People said he wouldn't last a round. He beat and Iran Barkley who pulled off the upset of all upsets by KO hearns and arguably beating Duran in his next fight. (He fought Hearns, Duran and Benn one after another). Benn easily destroyed him 1 minute

Interesting how many people have an opinion but never tried on gloves. Sparring gives strange results, sometimes a lesser rated man takes a champ apart.

@@l00d3r ya i missed that time , but ..it was around that same time he went 12 rounds with haglar and he beat hearns ,hearns had the jery curl in both fights so seems to me it all happened with in a few years of each other, so in essence he was still in his "prime " not knocking him as i said he was a beast ,but he will always be remembered for 1 fight, the no mas fight, its not fair to him, but it is what it is..sorry..

Any REAL boxing fan will know that nigel benn deep down really didn’t like sparring he actually hated it, for him it was more about finding his range and working on technical things that his trainer had been teaching him, the benn you see here isn’t the beast that you see in the ring on fight night, #1 of the all time greats in mine and most real boxing fans opinions,you can teach boxing and the technique that comes with the sweet science, but the heart that he had and showed when the shit hit the fan and he was in deep shit....that is something that you can’t teach...you’ve either got that in you or you ain’t simple as!!!! that’s something that’s deep inside him that he was born with, He was the reason that i started boxing and i genuinely love the guy... He was the bad boy rouge that felt like he constantly had to prove himself but years down the line he finally found peace in Jesus which in all honestly probably saved him, He was and ALWAYS will be one of my favourite fighters of all time, #LEGEND....follow his son connor benn...

The fight with Davey More( should have been stopped), More was as brave as they come, and Iran Barkley (Brutal) Barkley previously had distroyed Tommy Hearns who had himself previously knocked out Duran, the two blights " No Mas" was in my opinion a guy frustrated at a guy (Leonard ) not being macho enough to fight him toe to toe, and the second the knock out by Tommy Hearns(was down to catching Roberto cold and Duran being in his partying mode before the fight).
