It was a golden era indeed, Saturday night fights on terrestrial TV to boot.
It would have been even more golden had any of them fought Herol Graham, who arguably would have beaten them all with both hands tied behind his back!!

Re: Eubank, Benn, Watson and the last golden era of British boxing.
That is true but these 3 gave some great fights against one another and millions watched. Great memories which the channel 5, Dave, promoters Hennessey, Mcguigan and boxers Haye, Fury Eubank are trying to revive.Originally Posted by Syntax Error

Re: Eubank, Benn, Watson and the last golden era of British boxing.
If Herol Grahm was as good as everyone thinks he was he would have won a world title but unfortunately he didnt have the touness to go with his skill. Even Khan knows how to get through a fight (sometimes).
Ben and Eubank have both come from being behind to doing serious damage to their opponents, Graham would have been no different.

Re: Eubank, Benn, Watson and the last golden era of British boxing.
Eubank got bashed up in sparring by Graham and decided he would never fight Graham as he could not hit him.
Benn was fearless but his management (Ambrose Mendy) thought he would lose.
Watson never showed any interest either.
Graham during this time lost to McCallum, ref unfairly deducted a point off him, which would have meant a draw, beat Douglas who was another version of Benn and lost to Julian Jackson so could not command the big fights.

Re: Eubank, Benn, Watson and the last golden era of British boxing.
I can see what you're saying, but Graham was a tad unlucky.
He got sparked by arguably the hardest hitting boxer p4p in history, then had to tussle with a true ATG in Mike McCallum & his last title tilt was when he was nearly 40 & he still managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
