benn n eubank - who was the best

just give me a heads up are you gonna talk about calzaghe when he retires the same way you guys always talk about benn and eubank if so im gonna vomit what you gonna vom' up dickhead, your partner's spunk, hmmm?:fuckyou:

do british people think benn and eubank are hagler and leonard or something i dont understand these guys weren't very good. If they had participated in fighting the rest of the boxing world they would have been somewhere in the middle of the pack Barkley, Malinga and McClellan all got beat by Benn dickhead. Besides, no-one's claiming they were the best in the world, but they're match ups and rivalry was something special and for british boxing fans probably the most compelling rivalry ever. Why post a comment that's got fuck all to do with the topic, suppose your in between snacks you fat little fuck.:killyou:

Apart from Michael Watson, Chris Eubanks and Steve Collins, Honestly, you can find 2 dollars whores on sunset strip with a better hand game than Steve Collins. try and find one with a better fuckin chin though

Ill say benn because i didnt really know to much about the other guy!!!

benn was good enough to knock eubank down in benn - eubank 1, he just couldn't get rid of him thlip!......THLIP!

Im more of a fan of Eubank so I have to go with him.

Nigel Benn, he could beat any opponent, he was just too inconsistent. except a slick boxer with a great chin. i do think he could have beaten watson but eubank was just so perfect in his prime eubank has to be in the top ten p4p of all time IMHO i prefer been though he never had a boring fight!

it was in the 10th round benn was good enough to knock eubank down in benn - eubank 1, he just couldn't get rid of him Damn and I thought it was the 9th

There werent that much difference between them i think. But i think Benn at the later stage of his career dissapointed a bit more. In the first fight if Benns eye didnt close up who knows what would have happened?

i think there both great altho my favourit is benn. but eubank probly had the edge. btw i just whatched the calzaghe vs eubank fight on youtube was that eubanks last ever fight he looked poor:owned:

Mate there's absolutely no "problem" with your opinion - of course not! What the guys were referring to was your response to Shanus that because Benn lost to the aforementioned guys he couldn't beat them. You equated didn't to couldn't. It's just imprecision fella, nothing serious but it matters in a proper discussion. Laters I think the eubank fights highlights some of Benn's problems, defensively i wasnt too hot on him, he punches very and hard and was quick, but i think he was rather fortunate at times against Mc Cellenan and probably would have lost that fight on another night, he used to steam in a bit too much for my liking too, which left him susceptible to counters. I think he was pure class, i dont think he could have beaten anyone, i think Matches with toney and jones would have been bad style match-ups he would have lost. I dont see the contraversy in this point.

That was your original response though TS, people are referring to your reply to Shanus. Unfortunately Technical skills debating ability = Stevie Collins punching power haha, only kidding, Collins couldn't punch for shit, he was a built on pure stamina and chin - you're debating is fine if you make the original thread and then duck out.... To be honest, i cant see the problem with my opinion, Steve Collins was not a skilled fighter, he beat past it benn and eubank, so you have to count that against both fighters. However for me, the fact that Eubank (perhaps luckilly) stopped michael Watson, who stopped nigel benn, And the fact Eubank stopped Benn in their first fight And my opinion that eubank was a better skilled fighter than Benn. Is what gives eubank the edge to me.

They both say Watson was the best,

Nobody is disputing what you're saying though. All Shanus said was that Nigel Benn had it within him to quite comfortably beat anyone else 'on his day'. Which you disagreed with. Nobody is saying that he'd beat everyone 'prime for prime'. Yeah but the orginal question of the thread is "Benn n Eubank- who was the best" So im giving my reasoning for that answer.

He was still perfectly capable of beating them. Like Shanus said, he was just too inconsistent. On his best days Benn would have registered victories over them all. I dont think he beats a prime chris eubank, i think its a bad style match up for benn, and that benn fought as well as he could in the second fight and didnt offically win, perhaps thats the reason why they didnt fight a third time, Benn from what i remember was alot less emotional in the 2nd and was more controlled, i dont think Eubank fought his best in that second fight. But for me skills for skill, Eubanks was better, he was better defensviely and was more well thought out as a fighter. And from the highlights i have seen (obviously i am no expert on this) i am inclined more and more to think Watson may have actually been the most skilled out of all three guys, though im not totally sold on that yet.

I was cheering for Eubank in the 1st fight but I think I had Benn up by a round before the stoppage. It was a close, brutal fight with plenty of shifts in momentum. Neither fighter was outboxed. Eubank was my favourite of the 3 but he lost the 2nd Benn fight and was extremely lucky in both Watson fights. Oh yeah, seen both of them, cant remember every detail tho, may rewatch if i get the time, for me eubank deffo outboxed him, the second fight benn really had him in trouble and won that fight in my opinion, i can remember a bit more about that one cos i seen it a few times, i saw the 1st one a while back Eubank was a better fighter skill wise for me.
