Yes, it`s so well noted, that your statement here is 100% wrong.Quote:

And you'll find some people who remember that whole debacle.Quote:

For one, it's very well noted that Eubank never fought across the Atlantic in America. And Benn's legacy isn't really defined by him being the best, it's defined by the great fights he had.
When you say you are the best and one of the greatest of all time then you are expected to fight the best. Leonard takes heat for supposedly ducking Pryor, this would go down exactly the same imo, except that this would actually be legitimate. Make no mistake about it, unless Cotto gets demolished sometime soon, this will go down right with Mayweather and would instantly be called one of the biggest avoiders of all time as fair as that may or may not be.
