    Eubank the same, rated, probably higher in some ways than Benn but maybe didn't have the wars that Benn did, outside of the Eubank-Benn fights obviously. As far as "did we really value" them, I'm not even sure what that means but there both thought of as good fighters.
    Americans are stupid?

    So stupid we kicked your asses in the Revolutionary war and protected your sorry asses in WW2 from being ass fucked by the Germans
    Revolutionary War was actually more/less a draw so i heard, and you guys only entered WW2 because you got bombed, not because you was saving are asses. And no one country saved anyone's asses, pretty silly logic there Daxx. Im being sarcastic by the way and isn't Oumafan American anyway ?

    He is an ex war vet who had his shins shot off in WW2

    they were actually comparing him and another charechter Peggy to John McCain and Sara Palin

    Benn is one of my all time favourite fighters, but I always felt both Benn & Eubank would lose to Nunn, Toney, Jones Jnr, & McCallum - but then Benn went and beat McClellan - go figure

    Michael Nunn just before the Sumbu Kalambay fight, would of flattened our boys no problem. A non lazy James Toney would as would Mike McCallum, prime RJJ. Your pretty much right there.

    I still think McClellan would have done Ben in the first had it not been in my back yard, the East End.

    Benn staged one of the most amazing comebacks I've seen but the French ref really helped him out of that first round. Allowed him to contantly duck below the waistline, wouldn't let McClellan at Benn to finish him off etc.

    I too was also bought up on Benn and Eubank...didn't know any other fighters existed Kinda reminds me of most of us Brits now lol

    Nigel Benn had that crossover appeal while Eubank was always abit of an enigma - more known by name rather like Darius M.

    Benn gained respect for his style of fighting and because he fought in the States. I always remember him having pretty good coverage and a reputation from the US boxing magazines.
