Or…..as spoken before Jackson was overrated. Jackson fought 3 quality fighters and was knocked out twice by Big Mac. No JJ was overrated. Mac beat the dog out of Jackson.
Absolutely. The Fight of their lives documentary, about the fight between Mclellan and Benn, shows Gerald blinking badly in training. 20:51 into that documentary.
@@vince11harris I agree. I'm not sure that he would have even fought Nigel Benn when he did if he'd still had Manny Steward as his trainer. He would have gone up to Super Middleweight at some point, but probably a year or two afterwards. He was only 27 years old when he fought Benn .
I was just about to comment that you should add a link to the collection that is on the go to help pay his monthly medical bills, and it’s in the description above, great move mate. 💯☮️🙏
What made him different was, he can knock you out with a body shot. Something Julian Jackson couldn't do. To me Gerald Mcclellan was the most dangerous middleweight in history.
We've gone through all the instructions one time I expect a tough, clean fight, Protect yourselves at all times, Any questions from the challenger? Any questions from the champion? LETS GET IT ON!!! MILL LANE GOAT REFEREE!!
Mills Lane wanted to be in the spotlight. He actually thought that people were watching to see him. That places him near the very bottom of the referee list.
Great breakdown of mcclellan's techniques throughout his fights. What a warrior mcclellan was and still is . That right hand is lethal, and the way he pops that jab out there . What could of been if not for the unfortunate circumstances. Roy Jones, as good as he was, would never have fought gerald in the pros. He was just too vicious, as the title suggests.
Gerald's opponents had to fight for their lives because he was trying to take them away. His career/life was irreversibly damaged the moment he decided to leave Emanuel Steward, as was Oliver McCall's and anyone else that made the same choice.
I Saw A Story On Mcclleand Being Cared For By His Beautiful Sister Then Months Later Saw A Story Where His Sight Was Restored "Oh I Sure Hope So" God Willing " 😅 😅
@@SouthpawBoxerMMA you find out about him from the people who he hung around him then let me know a person who will kill animals and pets for pure perverse pleasure is a horrible human being
Very dangerous puncher. Took a lot of punches though. If he would've had a little better defense he would have gone undefeated for years. Those punches he took against Nigel Benn subsequently ended his career.
good observation...it seems that after the Jackson fight the brain issues made him weaker, he had nausea and sleep problems. I had brain damage, and the nausea is strong.
Him beating julian jackson solidified it for me that man soooo so underrated

Herol Graham schooled JJ in their fight, unfortunately Jackson caught Graham with a peach of a punch that ended the fight.
Great observation... it's the same blinking he was doing in the Benn fight. The 1st Julian Jackson fight was the the original issue for sure.

@@mrkipling2201Gerald should have never got away from Emmanuel. If he didn’t I’m sure he wouldn’t be how he is today

One of the hardest punchers of all time in boxing. 💯

This is well put together and insightful I'm looking forward to part two
Don King is the real reason why McClellan and Emanuel Stewart split up
One of the worst things that happened to boxing
The way he beat John Mugabi was impressive. Mugabi had given Marvin Hagler a great fight a few years previously.

The G MAN

24:08 he says "I got a tremendous headache so gonna go back to the room and sleep 2 or 3 days." Onset of damage?

THE G MAN: He was vicious!
He was every fighters worse nightmare.
@@hulksmash8660 no doubt bro!!!
where the f is part 2??
he was a horrible human being
You too

One thing that never made sense was how Gerald was milking himself to make 160, then when he moved up to 268 vs Benn, he was 165.
