Ha,there are the exact words he says too,infact i read that part when he mentioned that about Eubank fighting bums in his book earlier this morning as i was reading it.I loved Benn,he was soo honest and game.A raw powered fighter at that weight.I loved watching his fights as a kid and he remains my true boxing idol to this day,he was great!

I did'nt know he was the first ever uk boxer to make 1 £million from a fight though!At least i know now,it might help me out if i have the question at a pub quiz sometime in the future
