Why did'nt Benn/Eubank ever chase RJJ fight?

RJJ in his prime, maybe they where to clever. RJJ would have dominated both

thulani maligni..the same guy that roy stopped...

your joking arent you? EUBANK made him look pathetic, SUGARBOY was reaching and stretching with everything and clearly not comfortable in there

CHRIS could have stopped him at any time he chose but clerarly did not want to be in the ring that night and didnt let punches go

how does a SD mean he could have stopped him? that's a huge difference...anyways i think roy would have done to eubank what he did to toney and that's being reasonable because i like chris..but truthfully a prime roy beats eubank like he did richard hall or david telesco....

Alot of people thought that chris got a gift that night..

But less of this anyway.. Back to the subject at hand.. I think chris has as much chance against roy as Nigel did ..Possibly more just becuase of his sheer awkwardness.. But frankly neither has enough chance to be anything more then a great underdog

I remember Benn saying he wanted a larger purse so he could give Gerald Mcclellan a million. He also wanted him to come to London. Shame it never came off - as good as Roy was and as vulnerable as Benn's chin was I really think Nigel would have had a chance against Roy.


Eubank said and I quote 'If i can't see any way of winning the fight against him then I won't take it' ?? And thats all I ever heard Eubank say on the matter.

Benn was a true people's fighter - I look back on his record and tend to disregard his two defeats (retirments) to Collins and his loss to the 'awkward' Malinga.

Never understood why a third Eubank fight didn't take place mind ?!? They still had unfinished business after the draw and could have sold Old Trafford out again and raked it in . Why didn't they ?? ???

what i dont understand is how someone could possibly say that benn would stalk roy all night...eubank hurt benn and stopped him...roy's power at SMW was on another upper level when compared to eubank plus roy was much much much much much faster/quicker..need i say more...

good night to benn and early...

eubank goes 5 to 7 then the sandman tucks him in....

Roy had given Gerald Money anyway and didnt need to fight benn to give to him..

It took benn long enough to do a single thing.. Benn was just greedy more then likely worrying that roy would finish his career so he asked for a ridiculous purse

Eubank was never the same after 2nd Watson fight it killed him mentally he would'nt go for the knock out

i loved the way eubank walked around like a swordsman..and then the way benn mimicked him in the first fight too bad he got stopped

EUBANK ?? are you surr mate ?


anyway, ROY said in 93 that there was only one fighter out there who would cause him real problems - CHRIS EUBANK

that was promotional...eubank tires against roy and gets stopped

Nobody stops Eubank he only got stopped on a swollen eye against Thompson because he did'nt leave it long enough between 1st and 2nd fight
