    Comparing Eubank will never prove that Benn did or didn't have heart. Nobody is disputing anything about Eubank , it's about Benn. All this quit bollocks, are you telling me every fighter who gets KO'd or stopped is a quitter, and has no heart? It's ridiculous.

    Whilst it's all a load of bollocks. By the man's own definition, Eubank quit in the Thompson fight.

    If by your definition of quit you mean an old man who simply cant take any more, you're going to be adding a whole lot more names to your list, better fighters than Nigel Benn or Chris Eubank. See Manny Pacquiao's 'purple patch' in his career for about half a dozen for starters.

    I’m not saying Benn didn’t have heart because he obviously did! I’m just saying he was no more brave than his rivals. People give Benn credit for having heart and being a warrior but he was no more (or less) brave than Eubank or Watson in my opinion.

    That's a bit like saying Gerrald McClellan was no more of a puncher than Julian Jackson.

    You’re just repeating me. Both Benn and Eubank had heart (I have already said that) not sure why everything has to be spelt out more than once for you before you understand
