    yeah but if the Benn Mclellan fight had never happened I think you would have the same opinion looking back at the possibility of that one
    It's possible yes, but they are still completely different fighters. There is basically no way Toney was getting stopped here, and I just don't think Benn would have taken his best shots for very long.

    It would have been a hell of a fight though.

    Not saying you're wrong and I'm right, because this is all opinion, but Benn took some hellacious shots from Eubank and G-Man, and neither stopped him at 168. Do you honestly feel that James punched that much harder than those two?

    Not to mention Tony could be out worked and had some nights during his hay day that he lost to fighters worse the Benn. Would be a great fight either way a lot of the fights at 168 did not happen during that time.

    Ricardo Lopez in against Gonzalez, Carbajal, Sorjaturong. A fight I always wanted to see was Lopez against Too Sharp.

    Really like the Julian Jackson vs Eubank match up. Who do you think wins that one? Jackson probably had a little more punching power and was a little more active, in my opinion. That being said, Eubank was very clever, and more importantly, HUGE for 160, where Jackson was really a good sized 154 pounder. I think it would be great for as long as it lasted, but see Eubank scoring the stoppage win eventually.

    Best chin v best puncher have to go with Eubank
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    I may be mistaken, but didn't Finito knock Sorjaturong out before he (Sorjaturong) moved up to beat Humberto?

    Yeah he did and it was all over in 2 rounds. I still would have liked to see a rematch at 108.

    You wanted a rematch after 2 round result? What happened?
