Agree with this statement !

Eubanks chin was awesome, his heart and willing to pull through was immense, his fights with Carl Thompson proved as much!

Collins get's owned by Jones. Imo Benn gives Jones the hardest fight in their pomp. Very few gave Benn a chance against DeWitt, but proved he could into the lions den and take the title.
Benn was a bit of an Enigma. Destroyed Barkley in 1 round, excellent against DeWitt, we all know what haappended against McClellan, but then awful against Watson and Malinga for example.

The possessed Benn that fought McClellan would take some beating, but I still think Jones would take him to pieces

Agree that RJJ no way stop Eubank. He would win every round though imo.

Benn and Eubank is one of my favourite eras in any weight division, but apart from Benn beating McClellan, neither have a truly great name on their resume.

They both lose to McCallum, Toney, Nunn or RJJ imo
Yea Enigma is one word ya could use to describe Benn. The Malinga loss was a real shocker, and to be fair Watson was a fantastic boxer and was beating Eubank before that awful finish. The Benn that fought McClellan would of pushed Jones Jnr, wheather it would of been enough to win.... well thats anyones guess, but im sure we would all agree it would of been one hell of a fight while it lasted
How was the Thulani Malinga loss a shocker ? Nigel Benn was lucky to get the decision against Thulani Malinga when he was at his peak.
What, Benn lost a SD to Malinga, so how was he lucky to get the decision

Benn had not lost a bout for about 5-6 years before that loss, Eubank i believe was the loss before that one. So to lose to Malinga, who was not at all rated by many was a shocker imo. I guess you rate Malinga as a world beater then ?


Im guessing ya refering to the the bout in 92 which Benn won, then once again I stick to my guns and say it was a shocker to lose to him later in his career
Nigel Benn was showing signs though of slowing down, after the Gerald McClellan fight. Because he was getting rocked by fighter's like Danny Perez. But i did like Nigel Benn's entrance music for that fight, been meaning to find out the song. And the infamous Tony Tucker walking him to the ring
