Nigel Benn Vs Chris Eubank

Sat May 01, 2010 10:40 pm

When these to bruisers got together, I think it was some of the best boxing of all time.

At the time it was Nigel Benn for me because Eubanks used to do that little move over the ropes, but i got to like him and his cocky attitude, he made me laugh without trying.

Nigel Ben was an animal, but Eubanks tamed him in the end. I think Eubanks and Benn for entertainment were one of the best in boxing. Who did you rate

Nigel Ben I use to love watching and Chris Eubank was a show off but was a talented boxer but a show off.

The better fight, but sad one was against Watson.

Benn got done by a bent judging panel. He was far and away the better fighter on both bouts. They were great fights

Benn v Mcclellan was one of the best fights I've seen, totally brutal and ended tragically for the American

think you got something wrong Eubank stopped him in the first fight, nothing to do with the judges

Yep Benn got stopped in the first fight. The second fight was close and I fought Benn clinched it.

In the first fight I really thought Benn would knock out Eubank and wished for it. That fight made me realise what an accomplished boxer Eubnak was.

Eubank out-thought Benn, who seemed a one-trick pony. A warrior, but Eubank knew that and let Benn punch himself out, as Ali did against George Foreman. When Eubank had the measure of him from the first fight, the return was only ever going to be as a money-spinner as Benn was never going to really beat him in a second fight
