It was Nigel's punching power that wore g-man down that night and Eubank couldn't hit like Benn. G-man would dominate the early stages but doubt he could have taken Eubank out. With this in mind I would say that G-man would maybe edge a close decision.
Chris Eubank could hit very hard when motivated, and if Nigel Benn who's chin wasn't great survived against Gerald McClellan. Then Chris Eubank would for 100 percent not get KO'ed, i mean he did take huge shots off a big punching Cruiserweight without tasting the canvas.
I think Gerald McClellan is getting a bit overrated here, sure he looked very good with his early knockouts. But who did he ever really beat ? and he was outpointed twice. And was never really in a tough fight against an elite opponent.
So im going with the tougher and much more proven, Chris Eubank any day of the week.
