Why did all the so-called top USA boxers run scared from Nigel Benn between 1992 and 1996?

Question

He offered to fight any of them, in their own back yard, for no money.

Yet they all bottled it!

lmao

The Dark Destroyer - legend, and the Brit who made all USA boxers look like pu$$ies!

Answer 1

Cause he was a class act! MAke no bones about it Benn and Eubank wer true world class boxers who would have stood good chances against the likes of Hopkins Jones Jr and Nunn

Answer 2

Probably because the gym that he trained at in llford did not have showers ?

Answer 3

I like Nigel Benn, but it takes more than just calling fighters out, you have to prove your worth in the ring.  Roy Jones and Benn looked like they were on a collision course then Benn got beat by Malinge who Roy had made a highlight reel out.  If Roy had taken a fight with Benn everyone would have been on him for not taking on the best out there, basically taking on a guy who had been beat by a guy he had just dominated.  

Roy, James Toney, and others were making there push at that time, and Benn didn't keep himself in the mix by looking sharp and winning.

The fact is, Benn could have given Hopkins, Nunn, and other some problems because he was a tough, skilled guy, but he also appeared just as likely to get schooled.
