    Rebel, yeah I know that.

    It's just a shame Cus D'Amato didn't live long enough to guide and manage Tyson, once he became Heavyweight Champion.

    Definitely. It has been often said but it is absolutely true.

    I am at the bit where Manny Steward said it wouldn't have happened if he was there....It is true.

    There's a lot of hindsight in evidence here.

    But back then, whilst McClellan continued to fight, am not sure anyone is really culpable ?

    Ok,Stan Johnson.... I just found his fight record...

    WON 4 (KO,3) + LOST 40 (KO,37).

    Explains a lot ?

    Rebel, my above post probably endorses your sentiment regarding Manny Steward !

    A very high opinion of himself with nothing to back it up.

    Tony Jeffries complaining on twitter about drugs in boxing. Specifically the guy he drew with......hmm....Drugs maybe helped him get the draw but being able to count to 8 had more to do with it.
    (Jeffries thought it was a 6 rounder)

    I'll definitely take a look at that. ITV have done a great job with that.

    Totally agree.
    Was a cracking and chilling fight, McClellan came with a ferocious reputation. Benn a better fighter than some gave him credit for.
