    Knew all those facts Richard Steele also described it as the most brutal fight he ever saw, and he saw Tyson v Ruddock and JCC v Taylor.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    a great period in history for sure. i think their fights made their careers too be honest.watched a program a bit back where they had a reunion, there was a hug or too, and too see the mutual respect for one another was something else. great fighters, great men

    Steele did a great job in that fight, the stoppage was perfect and you could see in his face he felt bad for Benn having to stop it.

    Eubank took some punishment in that fight, I ain't surprised he was pissing blood for days.

    My dad was always a Eubank man so that meant I was. Now that I'm grown up I understand why. Charisma, skills, heart - Eubank practically had it all. He won't go down as anywhere near the best in history but man did he provide some good memories. Along with Benn of course.

    I think that is why I prefered Eubank - Benn always carried so much aggresion and Eubank just wound him up and kept calm. I loved the clash of styles and personality.

    Sorry but for me JC didn't come anywhere near as close to filling their boots when they left. He achieved more but benn and eubank did much more for british boxing.

    Greatest memory as a youngster was going to a family party where the fight was being shown and having only myself, the old man and my uncle supporting eubank

    A good 30 or so of my family were well and truly distraught when benn got stopped.

    Its amazing when you look back and think about those 2 fights. Remember the 2nd fight where literally the entire country just came to a standstill and people who had never even seen a sporting contest before let alone a boxing fight including pensioners and children turning on itv to watch the fight


    great memorys
    one dangerous horrible bloke
