Benn or Eubank - Who was better?

[BIG H]

Eubank won the first fight impressively. I had Eubank slightly ahead at the time of the stoppage. The stoppage may have been slightly premature, but I think there was only one outcome and that point. I think Benn improved a lot after that fight and learnt to actual box a bit, when he was with Jimmy Tibbs.

I had Benn clearly winning the rematch, but Eubank was already badly affected by the Watson fight at that point

Best wins


Benn

Barkley
McClellan
Simms
DeWitt
Wharton
Eubank (although score as Draw)

Eubank

Watson
Benn
Roccigiani
Wharton
Malinga
Thornton

So who was best? Who ges down as better in history? And would either have eaten RJJ, Nunn, Toney or McCallum?

[Master]

Eubanks was the better middleweight and Benn the better super middle.

Eubanks may come out down as better in history as he has the win and draw, although Benn fought topish Americans.

Neither would have eaten RJJ, Nunn, Toney or McCallum.

[ElTerribleMorales]

i'd say Eubank, i mean an old pretty shot Eubank took Calzaghe to the limit, i'd say both had a great shot against Nunn and McCallum, but Toney would win a competitive fight and Jones would have schooled both

[Fenster]

I think Eubank fought to the level of his opposition, for the most part, and Benn couldn't be written off against anyone.

Back in the day, I always had Toney, Roy, Nunn etc beating them easily but now I think I underestimated them, either guy wouldn't be a walkover for anyone.

Imagine we had the internet back then with Benn vs Toney or whatever, would have been mental on here

[Mark TKO]

A massive Benn fan I think Eubank was the better at the time of their first meeting but Benn by the second. Though head to head i always feared for that one moment when Benn would get reckless and tagged by Eubank.

Think Benn would have fared better against the Jones and Toneys at the time and had the bottle to take on the main men - I don't reckon Eubank would have gone in against Mcclellan. Always remember him saying in an interview re a fight against Jones "if I can't see a way of winning the fight I won't take it"

I knew Benn would lose the first fight - was too confident I thought and at the end of the second I knew Eubank HADN'T WON, I wasn't surprised by the draw I guess.

I think over their careers Benn's wins v Mcclellan, and KO victories over Dewitt and Barkley in USA, slightly edge Eubank's achievements. Eubank did him the first time but the second they were on equal terms.

Could never understand why there was no third fight (no I don't count Gladiators).

I was thinking about this the other day. people would still pay to see these Two fight. Get them on 2 or 3 shows with easy fights o look good. A bit of arguing. Eubank there with the monical, top hat and cane and Benn smashing people with glass ash trays

Seriously though, why hasnt any promoter tried luring these Two. Be a money maker for sure. Although both old, theyre both still the same level. The winner gets to fight Hopkins
