Dog Fighting
I'm unsure why there is such a push to include the poorly-written, lengthy dog-fighting section here. McClellan was a boxer; that's what he's primarily known for. To include a section on his dog-fighting with a variety of trivial details puts too much emphasis on this relatively meaningless part of his life. If people think it should be mentioned, fine, I guess, but I think giving it any emphasis over one line is ridiculous. The links are in the article if someone cares to read more about this facet of his life.MKil (talk) 21:41, 15 February 2008 (UTC)MKil

I think even the remaining line is ridiculously out of place, I'm going to remove the section. Franknotes (talk) 22:43, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

LOL. McClellan was a p.o.s. tard sadist first & foremost.78.105.138.106 (talk) 21:42, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

While I think that his dog-fighting is an important and interesting, it is not fitting to have an entire "Personal Section" dedicated to "McClellan participated in dog fights." If his personal section is expanded, I think it would be a relevant contribution. As it stands, the section is unbalanced and the information stands as trivia as it cannot be adequately incorporated into any other section. I have moved the section and references here so they can be added when/if the personal section is elaborated on.

 * He fought dogs ? Or trained them ?
 * Taped a labrador's muzzle shut (labradors are a preferred family pets due their good-natured temperament) and let a pitbull rip it up. The cunt got what he deserved. Perfect Karma. Maybe there is a humane god who metes out judgement. But personally....I think a lifetime of shitting in a bag for McClellan is not near enough.


 * There is no proof at all that Gerard ever fought dogs. Just some guy telling a story. Does Gerard have a conviction or a fine for dog fighting? No, he doesn't.....so why should we take this guys word for it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.150.106.209 (talk) 04:33, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Headbutts
Anyone that saw this bout knows that it was almost certain the real damage to McClellan was from Benn's head butts. Benn was questioned repeatedly during the postfight interview about it, and it is not even mentioned here? Benn only landed a few really clean power shots in the fight, and was getting beat soundly until shortly after the worst of the head clashes. Although the headbutt was clearly accidental. Anyone that saw this fight knowseverything leading up to it was a travesty.Jwill256 (talk) 07:22, 17 July 2011 (UTC)jwill256 =="Anyone who saw that fight..." - that obviously does not include you then, as your description bears no resemblance to actual events.

==That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard anyone say on Wikipedia. "Only landed a few clean power shots?". Tune into Reality FM and watch the fight.
