This fight will never happen, but if it did, Benn would win. Only because he loves to fight, as he puts it, "he loves a tear up!"
Eubank by his own admission didn't really love the game back in the day, and he had to find a reason to motivate himself. Now, in his fifties, how would he motivate himself?
I can't think pad work would help him much because he would walk around the pads strutting his stuff and throwing a punch every 30 seconds.
I can't see Benn winning if they fought now.

Nigel is one of my favourite boxers ever, but Eubank probably still has one hell of a good chin and that's what this would come down to. At the age these two are now, the ability to take a punch would decide this and I have no doubt that Eubank is in a better position to be taking punishment than Benn is. Whatever anyone says about Eubank, his chin was like granite and probably still is.

I really hope no one gets any stupid ideas about actually putting this fight on. These guys were great in their day and gave us some epic fights, I'd hate to see them come back and make fools of themselves.
