Nigel Benn on Joe Calzaghe

[Technical_Skill]

Glyn Leach of Boxing Monthly on Joe:


"As it is, my post-war top three are Benn, Lennox Lewis and Naseem Hamed, with Ken Buchanan very close by."

Nope, how does Benn make it into this guys top 3 over Eubank, who stopped him in their first fight, and then Knocked out Michael Watson who also stopped Benn?

Techincally Eubank in his prime (160) was seriously skilled, always looking for the one punch KO counter, nice jab, explosive right hand.

Eubank was the only one in that 'era' of British Middleweights (Benn, Watson, Eubank and Collins (Collins was terrible lol) IMO, who could have stayed on his feet again Jones and Toney, the real champs at 160 and 168.

Everyone knows (even if they don't like to admit) that Eubank had the best skills within him, only he was a disgrace to the game and got a lot of decisions he didn't warrant through laziness.
