did america really value Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank

[Fenster]

Americans are so stupid.

Benn did fight here, five or six times, the Barkley one obviously. I think most boxing fans, Americans or not, see Benn for what he was, a good very exciting fighter, that had some limitations but its not like he's "not rated", obviously everyone that was a serious boxing fan saw the Barkley fight, the Eubank fights, the McClellan fight.

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

What part of the UK is OumaFan from?

Two fighters who rarely got seen on live free TV, in an unpopular at the time division, who had the majority of their career happen before you could just stream fights.

With all the Americans are stupid sillyness aside....I don't think it was so much on they were not appreciated it has to do with marketing and promoters...lack of cable TV etc....If there was PPV or HBO/Showtime in every home back then like today American audiences would have seen more of them to actually appreciate...

Also back in the day when Chris was in hisn prime we had our own stars on the rise and the HW scene had Tyson, Holyfield etc.....

Today they woukd be both huge stars

I'm 21 now and began watching boxing when I was around 12 or 13. Before coming on this forum 3 years ago, I had never even heard of Nigel Benn or Chris Eubank.

But since hearing about them and seeing the Benn vs. Barkley fight, and some more of him on youtube, I decided to order his career set last week, and I've watched most of his fights on there and I love the guy.

Nigel Benn was an animal with one punch KO power in either hand and a warrior's heart.

Also his fight with Eubank proved that Chris could take a hell of a shot and box very well.

Crazy that Joe Calzaghe dropped Eubank within the first 10 seconds like that.
