i think the winner of eubank v benn was supposed to fight michael nunn, but it never came off
Michael Nunn was guaranteed to face the winner of the Benn-Eubank re-match in a WBC/WBA/WBO unification clash. James Toney was guaranteed to face the winner of the Benn/Eubank-Nunn fight in a WBC/WBA/WBO/IBF clear-out.
But Don King forgot to put a clause in the contract of the Benn-Eubank re-match for a draw!
Eubank and Tyson - both born in 1966
Eubank and Tyson - both spent most of their childhood on the streets
Eubank and Tyson - both have strange voices (Eubank's lisp, Tyson's squeek)
Eubank and Tyson - both intelligent, they like to use words that you are forced to look up for in the dictionary!
Eubank and Tyson - both headcases, both nutjobs
Eubank's trainer - http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=137661 (a white Welterweight)
Tyson's trainer - http://www.boxrec.com/boxer_display.php?boxer_id=009529 (a white Welterweight)
It's quite strange actually, they have many similarities!
Eubank and Tyson - both Muslims!
This is getting weird.
It's a shame that he never did have that third fight with Benn or the fight with Toney :(

I've always liked Eubank from the few things I've seen on him and the highlights I've seen. Haven't seen a complete fight of his unfortunately. Would like to.
You should do. I thought he was an excellent fighter with lot's of craftmanship and finesse, he was a pure counter-puncher who moved around the ring smoothly, he was under-rated and under-achieving.
Tyson really isn't that big of a guy. He looks like nothing more than a cruiserweight in that picture with Eubank.
He weighed a muscular 215 in his prime but frame wise he is no bigger than Marciano or Frazier.
Eubank weighed about 200lbs a while after he retired. But yeah I'm left scratching my head at how Tyson looks so small there??

This is FREAKY - Eubank's trainer and Tyson's trainer had VERY similar careers and look at their dates of birth!! (Ronnie Davies and Kevin Rooney). Go on, fucking look. Tyson's date of birth is near Eubank's date of birth, and Tyson's trainers date of birth is FUCKING near Eubank's trainer's date of birth.
