  • it's sad but it's a risk all fighters take when they step in the ring

  • I know eubank beat benn twice but nobody in benns weight could have beat him the night he fought mclellan

  • In addition to being a strong puncher,himself, Benn was also known for his remarkable courage. But even that word cannot fully describe what it took for him to get up after being pummeled and clamber back in the ring from one of the hardest punchers in boxing history, irrespective of weight class. No, Benn is not to blame; this is the beauty of the sport of boxing. And because of this, I will forever respect Benn for what he accomplished that night. Btw, I'm American!

  • Best of british boxing is this guys name. What best of british boxing u dont have 3 champions of note all u have is lennox lewis and he grew up in canada so u have no boxers

  • @bill23138 Er, Bob Fitzimmons, Jimmy Wilde, Ramdy Turpin, John Conteh, Lloyd Honeyghan, Joe Calzaghe (never beaten) etc, you sad, ill educated yank.

  • @Maxshard never heard of anyone of them except calzaghe who is the biggest coward and fraud that boxing may have ever seen

  • @bill23138 Congratulations on putting up the most stupid reply I have ever received from a trolling idiot who doesn't know his boxing history.

    If you had any brains you would remove it.....so obviously, it will remain.

  • @Maxshard my comment was what an average boxing fan would say most boxing fans havent heard of any of them guys u named except the coward calzaghe

  • @bill23138 You are not average, you may be one day, everyone should have aspirations.

    Bob Fitzimmons was one of the first world heavyweight champions and unless I'm mistaken, he was also world middleweight champion, when there were less divisions and only one world championship belt per division, so it was much tougher to obtain one.

    Why do you think Joe Calzaghe is a coward though, I'm intrigued?

  • @Maxshard Joe calzaghe never tried to fight big fights when b hop james toney and especially roy jones were running the middle weights he only fought eubank now if he kept fighting top contenders like eubank jones toney and b hop would of been required to fight him but he didnt he fought no names until jones b hop and toney were out of their primes because he knew he couldnt compete with them so he didnt start fighting big fights until they were old and washed up

  • @bill23138 Well at least you're fast, I'll give you that. Not as fast as Don Curry needed to be. when he was the undisputed welterweight champion of the world and got hammered by Britain's Lloyd Honeyghan in six rounds.

    Calzaghe's camp were making all sorts of offers to both Jones and old man bopkins when thery were in their prime but they refused, presumably for better pay days, or because they were fearful of the outcome.

    Regardless, both Jones and Hopkins lost to Calzaghe. Sore loser!

  • @Maxshard zab judah could make an offer to pac man to fight him but it wouldnt happen because zab isnt at the top level of boxing same as the coward calzaghe like i said if he kept fighting top competition like he decided to do when they were past their prime they would of had to fight him

  • @bill23138 You're a sad case. Calzaghe was only two years younger than Jones when he fought him and was at the end of his own career. He had been a champion for almost ten years and took on all comers, repeatedly calling Jones out for years, whilst Jones always upped the ante and wanted more money.

    Descibing Calzaghe as a coward makes you a pitiful example of the kind of imbecilic troll that boxing and boxing fans don't need.

    Kindly bow out and go and expose your ignorance elsewhere..

  • @Maxshard dude calzaghe was two years younger which makes a big difference when your almost forty but that dosent even mayyer the point is calzaghe was in his prime up until he retired roy jones was out of his prime around 2000 u know and i know roy jones in the 90s would mop the floor with calzaghe and same with james toney

  • @bill23138 Emmanuel Steward, during his commentary on the Calzaghe/Jones fight stated that Calzaghe would always have been a problem for Jones. Another expierienced US commentator during the fight also suggested that maybe Calzaghe would have beaten Jones in his prime. One of his comments was, 'No one's walking through Joe Calzaghe'..

    Perhaps with your insightful comments and obvious (in your own head) superiority to these professionals, you should apply for a job with HBO, or Showtime.

  • @Maxshard dude emanual steward is a profesinal cheerleader and like i sadi if that was the case joe wouldnt of hid in whales but he did because he is lame. Honestly dude how many people do you tink would like him if he was american the only reason u like him or anyone does is because he is from the uk he has no style no punching power hes just extremley boring and bad

  • @bill23138 You are embarrassing yourself with your silly and unwarranted comments.

    I happen to be from Wales but I don't give a damn where a fighter is from. Most of my boxing heroes are from outside the UK and Calzaghe mostly fought in England anyway, (hostile territory), a country which many Welshmen have a deep rooted hatred of for historical reasons. Learn your British history and then you may understand. I don't comprehend your dislike of Calazaghe though. Wales is a seperate country.

  • @Maxshard dude stop it you know you would not be a fan of calzaghe if he was from america. your lying to me and yourself calzaghe is a nobody

  • @bill23138 Pointless engaging in a discourse with you if you are going to accuse me of lying. Goodbye.

  • Nigel ben didn't want to take the fucking test!!!

    This is why i respect Floyd so much in taking a stand of an effective type of druf test.

  • The referee in this fight was a piece of shit, he slow counted the knock down in the first round and then gave Benn time to recover, I blame MUCH of what happened on the referee.

  • @kseymen I pray God has someone murder u .u dumb bitch. Ima pray real.hard that u die a horrible death. An ima try my hardest to have my friend hack through the computer to find your location so I can have my brothers murder u like they did b4. An yeah that's a threat

  • this is what happens when you are involved in dog fighting and when you torture innocent animals..Great God works in mysterious ways

  • Benn was obscene in his post fight celebrations. Not surprising since at the time he was hanging with drug dealers from Essex.

  • BET HE HAD CASTING IN HIS GLOVES.

  • sad pricks the lot of u. respect to benn and mclellan

  • @MrJenoptem MORON

  • Tell him the truth... he lost the fight ha ha

  • Poor McClellan :(

  • I like boxing, but sometimes i think this is for beasts, two men hitting in their heads, kidneys, livers, stomach, but by the way i think all the sports have risks, cycling, football, basketbal, cars races, is possible to die in any sport, even in tennis you can die for the sun o tired

  • @CARLOSGURO absolutely true this video makes me wanna be a billiard player

  • @CARLOSGURO both men know what they are gettin into calling boxers beasts is just stupid and you clearly dont understand the sport

  • why are people saying he deserved this? what did he do???

  • @asdop McClellan was a dog fighter, but personally I don't think anyone deserves what happens to him

  • @asdop he taped the mouth up of a labadour dog and set one of his pitbulls on it to kill it. he was a wicked shit...

  • @MrJenoptem

    Oh well he deserves everything he gets then......asshole!

  • @asdop There are murderers and rapists who have a better life than him. Killing a few dogs means he deserves his life destroyed? Fuck off.

  • @ojideagu I honestly wish all these rapists and murderers were in the position as this man....Cruelty to animals is as evil as anything in my eyes!

  • @asdop Cruelty to animals isn't anywhere near rape or murder

  • @ojideagu i agree cruelty to animals is worse!

  • @MrJenoptem Oh please get a life, i can't stand animal freaks like yourself. You must be a PETA member? Do you own 50 cats and live in a house full of cat shit at home? I bet you feed the pigeons despite signs saying don't feed them.

  • @ojideagu Gerald McCellan could be the main ingredient in 'vegetable stew' ha ha. Compassion for beasts has to be acknowledged here. You should be greatful yourself. You would have been shot as vermin years ago if it was not. Where was you hatched anyway?

  • @ojideagu Where was you when God was giving out brains? At the back of the line having a wank!

  • @ojideagu McCellan was a murderer idiot! A murderer of dogs. 

  • @asdop i dig it man!

  • @MrJenoptem He killed a few fucking dogs, big deal. He did not deserve his disability at all.

  • @ojideagu God wanted to punish him, so he turned him into a vegatable ha ha

  • @MrJenoptem Don't be a moron, it's nothing to do with God.

  • @ojideagu What is the difference between a carrot, potatoe, onion, corn on the cob and McCellan? Answer: there is no differnce they are all vegatables HA HA HA

  • @MrJenoptem Give respect where respect is due. You are a CUNT. FUCK OFF TWAT.

  • @kcf101 thats my point he deserves no respect! idiot.

  • Why does he deserve every penny??? he deserves fuck all.

  • He got what he deserved the wicked cunt!

  • @MrJenoptem Your a pathetic human being

  • Micheal Watson.....now i have sympathy for him as he was a good guy....

  • @getaefuk i agree, Watson was a very respectful character - it was a great shame...

  • Wow. I cant believe people think this is cool. But you know what, Karma is a bitch so watch it. How can you possibley celebrate the demise of any human. Rotten ass human being rat motherfuckers.

  • Let the family go out and work for money like the rest of us have to do. They want to sit on their bottoms and beg for money. Gerald didn't give a shit about no one. He wanted to kill Benn no doubt. Gerald taped up the mouth of a house dog and then set one of his pit bulls onto it. Gerald got what he deserved in this fight!!! HaHa

  • @MrJenoptem ...Fucking asshole! 

  • he is a good person now....:)

    fuckin deserve it what he got..

  • @jelszokezelo You should go to hell for saying something like that

  • As much as I like McClellan as a boxer, I think he's a very horrible human being. He even admitted that he wanted to literally kill Nigel Benn in the ring and look what he's gotten himself now blind and deaf.

  • Just throw the cunt to his dogs, he could always make his family some money by getting fucked up the ass by any stupid, ignorant, uneducated pricks that think McClellan deserves any sympathy. I agree....Divine Justice!

  • all you fuckheads saying about karma just shut up Don king killed someone when he was younger? he hasnt been killed just shut up. Its pathetic mclellan was a tough man so what if he killed a dog, he's still always going to be one of my favourite boxers, all you people saying its karma probably all have dogs lol, dogs dont enjoy living with you being fed every day, not having fun just eating and shitting. Been seperated from their families so shut the fuck up and get a grip this is boxing

  • @Jonezaay It's not Karma it's Divine Justice!

  • very sad video and very sad for boxing to turn it's back on some one who worked so hard in it. I will never pay for any pay per view boxing or even pay to go watch live.

  • @ awatoto. It's not a Britney Video, it's a Beiber video! Ha ha ha! McClellan was a scum bag, nothing to do with who is worth more, a human or a dog. A human is worth more but McClellan isnt worthy of being called human. He was just a trailer trash homie who thought he was a hard man doing the dog fighting thing. Well karma can be a bitch y'all!! Any other boxer I would have felt sorry for, but this vegetable? I hope he ends up in a home and gets beaten and abused in the worst way.

  • hey everybody that idiot bullfelt has britney spears as a video on his channel. what a tosser

  • @awatoto Yeah she's great! And she can walk without crutches!

  • Fuck McClellan. I hope he lives a long lingering existence. If he is struggling for money let him eat dog food, the cunt deserves it and wont know the difference now.

  • @bullfelt You're a fucking moron

  • @ojideagu moron? lol!!! Based on what exactly? mcclellan is trash, pure and simple, if he had been a decent guy he would have my sympathy, but he wasnt so fuck him!

  • @bullfelt I agree. I have a lab and when i heard he killed one i thought fuck you trash bitch. but I cant beat your 'long lingering life for mcclellan'.

    Karma! :)

  • @bullfelt a remark like that shows that you are the scum of the earth

  • @bullfelt lol well said. these morons on here are probably guilty of similar atrocities. they all hate animals because animals show more intelligence than these school dropout losers.

  • To both boxers!

  • @ChristianSamuel1993 I respect Ben totally but i do not respect people that kill a dog for kicks, nor idiots like ojideagu who thinks it is ok.

  • @FatFriendly1 Wow, he killed one bloody dog, does that mean he deserves to be brain damaged, blind and deaf for life? Go and join fucking PETA and all the other dog shagging brigade.

  • Show respect!

  • i usually wouldn't wish death on anybody, but after hearing what this cruel bastard did with the dog well i just wish nigel benn would have finished him off in that ring.

  • nigel done what he had to do just like gerold, my heart goes out to gerold he was a warrior

  • I have respect for Nigel because he is tryong to help gerald and i also feel sorry for him because obviously when he looks back on that night he's going to think of nothig but sadness because, even though of course we all know it was not intentional to cause so much damage, it was his punches that gerald passed out.

  • you have to forget about his past !! and cant believe in some of these comments its fucking disgusting, and we are surprised that the world is gonna end soon with such ugly people on this world.

  • @OMGxITzxEAxLazloo PETA freaks like this make my skin crawl. They have no problem with a human being killed, mutilated or massively disabled. But when a goldfish dies they scream revenge. Pity they don't see the irony.

  • Mcclellan taped up a Labradors mouth and let his pitbull kill it. Bitch got karma returned to him.

  • @FatFriendly1 Fuck you you PETA freak. Nobody deserves what happened to him.

  • @ojideagu Neither did the poor labrador deserve to die whilst its mouth was taped.

  • @FatFriendly1 So one labrador being killed equals a HUMAN BEING to be brain damaged, blind, 80% deaf, loss of memory and not able to walk on his own? FUCK YOU.

  • @ojideagu you are obviously 80% dumb! 20% stupid! he got justice for taking a life in such a cruel way you moron and if you think that is COOL then you are sick like your mate. :)

  • @FatFriendly1 He took a fucking DOGS life you retard. A fucking mangy dog. People eat dogs in some countries. Millions of animals are eaten everyday. I really hope a member of your family end up like that and then see how it feels. Jackass.

  • @ojideagu why should a dogs life be any less valued. Mccellan is less than a dog and so are you. you council estate trash litter piece of DIRT. You are less than dog DIRT!

  • @FatFriendly1 Because a humans life is WAY above a dogs life. Just as a dogs life is way above a flies life. Don't even try and compare a fucking dog to this man, regardless of what he did.

  • @FatFriendly1 what a clown. so your saying that if you walking along the road and you had only one glass of water and youi come accross a dehydrated dog and a man and they both need it or they would die you would give it to a dog? you are a tree hugging fuckwit

  • @FatFriendly1 And don't write on my videos you dog shagging cunt. Yes I am half Nigerian. Anyone who puts an animals life above a humans is scum of the earth.

  • @FatFriendly1 too fucking right!

  • @FatFriendly1 You think thats karma? Im sure you've done alot of wrong things in life so i guess that means you deserve to be like him too?

  • @IrishDrifta96 Sadly there are many morons like Fat Friendly in this world

  • fukin meat heads twatting each other round the head whilst some demon like don king owns both fighters,,bread n circus for the masses whilst governments fuck us silly

  • What a decent bloke Nigel is.As others have said,before the fight McClellan said he was gonna kill you,and what a brutal fight it was...Be proud,dont beat ya-self up mate.

    As for suicide.For those that have contemplated it, as have I years ago,Nigels right! All ya want is some-one to say,"It`ll be alright" to get ya thru it....? When ya learn that no-ones gonna say that to ya?- That ya alone in the world,it makes ya stronger,if ya get thru it. For those that dont? Say a prayer.

  • It took that long for people to start doing something for the guy? Wow!

  • Nigel, you are a legend, please do not beat yourself up about this, you were doing your job as was Gerald. oh and pleasure meeting you in Aberdeen many years ago

  • The truth is before the fight McClellan said he was going to kill Benn, most of this fight Benn was just fighting for his own survival so I don't think he should feel so bad, is good he tried to help financially. I wonder if McClellan would have made the same effort if the boot had been on the other foot.

  • im glad hes smiling, he is a real champion, its real sad what happened to him but im really glad hes smiling and he seems ok with himself, im talking about gerald, but benn shouldnt feel any guilt, he didnt know it was going to happen

  • Comment removed

  • Does anyone know how we can donate money for Gerald???

  • Hi there is a link on the benn fight under the video which has a link

  • Man i cant help thinking of Gary Speed when Nigel say's about putting the hose in his car

    & him "just wanting someone to say you'll be alright" ......... "People just dont understand"

    Suicide.

  • What a great guy benn is.

  • Watching this is really distressing...

  • Comment removed

  • This Newborn fella is fulla shit. He pushed Nigel back, yea right! You can see it clearly that he didn't even touch him.

  • jesus, look at the lat flair on the Gman at 01:45 that is a proper punchers back.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Gerald was not only a shitty person in life but a bum and quitter in the ring.

    Jackson aside,take a look at that bum McClellans opponents records sometime...nothing but setups.the first real fighter that showed up to fight did society sand the sport a favor and punched that mfer crosseyed.

    One of karmas little gifts.

  • @tunelowplayslow Just shut the f-ck up !!!

  • @tunelowplayslow Wow everything u said is totally un called for..... did u happen 2 see the video that ur commenting about or the state gerald is in? I hope u aren't christian or worshiping any kind of god or whatever u call god bcuz any of them any religion would look shamefuly upon u...... u heartless bastard. And in the end yo punk a** probly never laced up gloves in a day of your life... These dog fights and running over flamingos and other dum s*** u people ben sayin isnt even accurate

  • @tunelowplayslow U say KARMA.... what a joke. If it is i hope it comes 2 u.

  • @tunelowplayslow Wow this is probably one of the most outrageous things i have ever read in my life. If you watched that video before you made that comment it really makes me sad that there are people like you in this day and age. You are clearly uneducated and severely emotionally undeveloped. I would say i feel sorry for your parents but they are probably to blame for raising such a waste of space. I sincerely hope you have an organ donor card as then at least your life may have some use.

  • If I had my my!!!!! What the hell is a my my!!! I've heard of a mi fi, but never a my my!!! Lol

  • MCLELLAN YOU ARE A CUNT !!!!!!!! SHOOTING DOGS AND YOUR SICK DOG FIGHTS, DIE SOON AND MAKE SOME SPACE

  • Никакой пощады. ;)

  • THESE BITCHES BOO'ED HIM WHEN JIMMY LENNON ASKED THE BRITTISH CUM GUZZLERS TO CLEAR THE ISLE SO GERALD COULD GET THRU... IF GERALD HAD ALL HIS WITS BACK, I BET HE WOULD SAY FUCK UR 100,000 IF THEY EVEN RAISED THAT.... SHAMEFUL THE WAY THAT SHIT WENT DOWN,,... FUCK FERDIE, DON, NIGEL, AND EVERY GODDAMN BRITTISH FUCK IN THE HOUSE.... SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN GERALD OUT AND DROPPED A BOMB ON THAT HATE HOT SPOT......

  • @chadwi12 die slowly mclellan, if i had my my i would feed him alive to dogs

  • Nigel benn was a monster watta champ to get up after that 1st round knock down member gerald mcclean was gonna do that to nigel boxing is a sport where most champions would die in that ring gerald is a champ and so is nigel gerald well always be in my prayers

  • Don King is a puckered stink hole

  • I'm a pretty hard guy but watching both these guys nearly beat each other to death and the following after math makes me tear up. So many different things could have been done better during and after the fight. Shame on Don King and the boxing world. Benn was just doing his job. Poor bastard is still eaten alive by the guilt to this day still.

  • Fuckin prick McClellan. What goes around comes around

  • @djgannon4

    the fuck does that even mean? what did mcclellan ever do? asshole.

  • @Robstailey Touching animals. He was a big fan of dog fighting, Don't believe me? Google it, then come back and tell me ya feel sorry 4him.

  • @djgannon4 you're a completely callous cunt for saying that about a man that's lost everything. He can't see or hear, his mental age has been reduced to that of a small child and can no longer take care of himself. Think about the nasty content of what you write before posting it. With comments like that, you're only inviting bad energies towards you. You should consider this.

  • @smutleybutcher MCLELAAN WAS AND IS A CUNT, HE PURCHASED LABRADORS FROM PET SHOPS AND FED THEM ALIVE TO HIS FIGHTING DOG, WHEN THE DOG LOST A DOG FIGHT HE BLEW ITS BRAINS OUT, 100% CUNT !!!!!!!!!

  • @birdandthe Internet haters. I hope you all get electric shocks from your keyboards and die just as you're about to end your next hate-filled comment. Don't you guys realise that if all you send out is negative messages into the world that all you'll get back is horrible shit? Recognise that while you still have the chance to change. Mclellan doesn't have that chance.

  • @smutleybutcher ma cmllan was a ganster low life who fed pet dogs o his fighing dog and blew the rains out of is own dog when it lost a fight !!! is it any surprise tons of people hate him ?? rot in hell cunt !!!

  • @djgannon4 who gives a fuck?

  • ben got a 700,000 pounds n gerald 40,000 dollars, how did that happen? gerald was a world champion too, how could there be such disparity in the purse for the 2 fighters, don king is not human.

  • Jesus christ reading some of these comments makes me sick how can you be so disrespectful he was in a coma for 11 days is now 80% deaf and blind how can some of you be so disrespecful show some fucking respect!

  • @Jonezaay I agree. Very sad. Especially because the fight would have been stopped if the fight was in the US-the referee in the Benn-McClellan fight was ridiculous.

  • @Jonezaay pity he didn't show any respect to the animals he tortured....maybe this is karma?

  • @Canashea Karma? Bullshit. If you wish this dreadful disability on someone who tortured an animal, how the fuck does that make you any better than him?

  • @Canashea it is Karma. You dont do shit like killing a labrador without any recall. Labrador were bred for their intelligence, unlike ojideagu.

  • He was no saint, he used them pitbulls to kill dogs he picked up and tape their mouths shut

    still a sickening injury and he should be looked after more by boxing people

  • @wendalboy he fought pits?..where did you get this info from?..not calling you a liar just asking

  • @catchfree84 i read a book about this fight called war baby and it talks about what the gman was like, he was not a great man, although he was a great fighter

  • I'll never forget what excellent fighters these two were. A tragic end to one of the greatest wars in the ring ever.

  • i was looking through the dictionary and found what the definition of Don King was...... A Fat Ugly Theiving C*NT

  • @SamKid1994 He's lower than that! He- or rather, it is worse than Lucifer, and will meet a sticky end.

  • @SamKid1994 ...and a Murderer...don't forget that one...

  • god bless the g man and everybody thats brave enough to pull on the gloves and climb in the ring..

  • Benn one of the most inspirational people I have met :) his wife and himself spoke to us on Saturday night past and you can still see how badly this affects him yet he is still living for God :) An amazing man with an even more amazing testimony!

  • I remember this fight, heartbreaking to watch then and now. I wonder how Don King came out of this?

  • I don't agree with the killing of animals for amusement, like with the dog-fighting allegations against McClellan, but is it really fair to say he got what he deserved? Not to justify it, but he was a young man who made stupid decisions. Have we not all been there? I wouldn't wish McClellan's current state on anyone, no matter what they had done.

  • @partekrasher How did he get what he deserved?

  • @90Irocem I wasn't saying he got what he deserved, I was questioning how others could say that.

  • Comment removed

  • boxing is the air that i breathe and this makes me cry

    this man should have 3 men attending to his every need 24 hours a day for the rest of his life

    if i make the big time and earning like flyod 30million a fight i will set up a fund for all boxers who suffer from boxing related injurys

    he may be slower and he might not fight now but hes tougher than ever

    living with these injurys is tougher than anything you'll go through in a ring

  • I love Boxing but when i see vids like this, i gotta ask myself......why?

  • I remember watching this fight. It was a great era for middleweight/super middleweight boxing. Very sad for both boxers obviously more so McClellan. After several similar injuries and deaths in the 80's/ 90's lessons have been learned and fewer boxers are suffering in the same ways due to better refereeing and cornermen unafraid to pull their fighters out and with better systems of weigh loss and control in place to preventing sudden dehydration which was a major factor in many cases.

  • boxing is boxing.... they all know the risks... although in my opinion i think the majority of these incidents are down to making weight... its very rare you hear of this happen in the heavyweights.(where 13st 8 and above is allowed)

  • to make the weight boxers starve and de-hydrate themselves to make weight.... this cant be good.

  • @donsuccone hasnt got anything to do with injurys

  • Regardless of McClellan being abused by the Boxing authorities who have seeminly turned there back on him by not providing adequate funding/pension if supposedly Benn found God and had 'seen the light' then the man should have gifted/contributed some of his purse for that fight to McClellans care. The fact he didn't and is content to leave McClellan in a darkened abyss, peniless shows that Benn although a warrior in the ring is a pure coward out of the ring! Shameful.

  • @dem220578 Its easy to think he's a coward because of the money situation with Benn making vastly more money from the fight which the tax man swiftly took from him, but Benn didn't walk away unscathed from the fight either. I know McClellan is the one that has lost the most but clearly Benn has never been the same man since. I couldn't imagine the mental torture he has had to suffer and still does because he knows it was at his hands that it happened. Coward and shamefull cant be the right words

  • Isn't there an injured jockey's fund? Surely there should be some kind of universal insurance policy for fighters paid for by the governing bodies so that brave men like Gerald McClellan can be looked after with the best medical assistance possible .
