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![]()

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 existedKinda 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.
Benn is timeless and priceless....in my all time top 3 favs ever.Put it this way,Ive had a 15 yr old cat from the time he was a kitten...Name is Nigel.....
Eubanks?? F!!!! em
