    Eubank easy.

    More skilled,

    Stopped benn in their primes at 160.

    (although benn was robbed in the rematch at 168)

    Benn was explosive, but had diffculties with slick fighters, Michael watson stopped him.

    And when waston fought a lazy eubank who was clearly not on form, eubank still ended his career.

        Eubank was a huge favourite to win the second fight remember - that says a lot

            eubank had better skills but benn fought the better competition. and benn was always getting better as a fighter

              there were some great fights then. A lot of brits prefer Benn to Eubank which I find strange to be honest.
              Has anyone seen the Carl the cat Thompson v's Eubank fights at light heavy weight? Now they are 2 amazing fights

                Nigel Benn, he could beat any opponent, he was just too inconsistent.

                  All I remember is the ass whoopin he took from Mclellen, and how he came back after that ****! Ben had a warriors heart-that alone rates high to me!

                    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.
