But growing up i was exclusively brought up around these 2 fighters (along with bruno) believing they were the best of the best as its all we really ever had in britain up until the introduction of cable TV

Did america ever really give the due dillegence to these 2 guys and what they acheived inside the ring
Honestly, I wish these guys would have come along now. I saw Benn a couple times on TV but never had the chance to see Eubank. I recall having to wait 2-3 months for the boxing mags to report on the outcome of their fight - those were the old days! I recall being surprised to see Chris had KO'd Benn.
