Sarcasm.

I'd imagine Marvin gets 10 times the bottles and insults thrown at him than he remembers first time in town . Hagler just to sound and steady and Benn at middle was all the more available.

Marvelous

Benn was a high energy fighter that kept coming at you and his fists were always moving and if his opponent stayed still he would be in a hurt locker. Marvin had a stiff straight jab and used angles that most Philadelphia educated fighters would use. Marvin could fight inside or outside and his use of angles would make you miss. Eubank was awkward and gave Benn problems but Marvin was well schooled with angles and had an underrated defense. Marvin always controlled the other guy's pace. He was relentless but a thinker.
Benn was a crowd pleaser but erratic. I pick Marvin by unanimous decision.

Great post. Some big body shots from Marv in this one too (straight lefts)!

That is why I think he would have stopped a middleweight Benn.

Saw Nigel on the Sunday show and he was inspiring. Benn is a legend and miss his intensity and power. He would tear Eubanks Junior apart if he was around.
