Benn knew teh score and he was honest enough to admit it by that Nardiello fight was his first on sky and I dont think the sky bosses liked it cuz someone made him take that staement back . In his next fight vs Danny Perez on the Bruno undercard, Benn said I want to be number 1 second to nobody! but in that interview he said he didnt mind being number 2 to roy Jones

jones was indeed completely untouchable against everybody he fought

But i still cant help but think the likes of toney/mccullum were never quite the equal of benn/eubank who at the time were world class champions who never got a real go stateside!

Jones in his apparent "untouchable" prime fought a hell of a lot of complete unknowns!!
Not trying to sound condescending, but Toney and McCullum are two of the finest fighters of the last twenty years in all of boxing, Benn and Eubanks fall spectacularly short of these two.
