    I am not the biggest Benn fan. I was a Eubank man you see! But yes I think he does deserve it.

    What a great post!!!

    Benn is probably my favourite fighter of all time, but I still think he is a bit overrated by some people. He was a warrior but had lots of floors. Some say he was best under Jimmy Tibbs when he adopted more of a measured approach and learned to jab, but his best win was against G Man (after Tibbs) I think he would've lost to Toney, Nunn, & McCallum

    Benn is a sticker for the Hall.

    Its a shame Benn, Nunn, Toney, Eubank and McCallum never really had any kind of series. That being said i think Toney and Eubank were the best oif the bunch. Mike was starting to age and was real small compared to those guys.

    No disrespect to Max, but if Schmeling is in then Benn could be as well.
