Re: Why did'nt Benn/Eubank ever chase RJJ fight?
I remember Benn saying he wanted a larger purse so he could give Gerald Mcclellan a million. He also wanted him to come to London. Shame it never came off - as good as Roy was and as vulnerable as Benn's chin was I really think Nigel would have had a chance against Roy.
Eubank said and I quote 'If i can't see any way of winning the fight against him then I won't take it' ?? And thats all I ever heard Eubank say on the matter.
Benn was a true people's fighter - I look back on his record and tend to disregard his two defeats (retirments) to Collins and his loss to the 'awkward' Malinga.
Never understood why a third Eubank fight didn't take place mind ?!? They still had unfinished business after the draw and could have sold Old Trafford out again and raked it in . Why didn't they ??
Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate
