Benn & Eubank Overated

[typeone]

Benn never fought the Elite 160 or 168 fighters ,he foguht guys like Piper ,Wharton, Lescano ,Nardiello hardly stellar names are they

they were both in the right place at the right time ,Herol Graham was a better fighter than both IMO

Nikki would have got knockout also, *** me do you know what you are goin on about, You getting at it aint ya lol

just placing them in current context. I don't think they would either but they'd be proper tear up's!

Yep they would be tearups now we are getting somewhere thats what you would expect from these guys well said TEARUPS

I'm in agreement with those who say Benn and Eubank are rarely considered ATG. That said, they are two of the bravest boxers I've ever seen. Benn always wore his heart on his chest and everything you need to know about Eubank is said in his fights against Carl Thompson.

Characters make fights, and Benn and Eubank were the kind that had you glued to the television.

Boxing thrives on fighters like these.

I've never seen anyone mention Eubank or Benn as ELITE fighters. Hell I've rarely seen them even mentioned aside from a few UK guys in this forum.

They're underrated if anything, maybe a bit overrated by some UK people.

lol yer i dont think they were overated at all. in america a lot of fans havent even heard of them. maybe they were a bit overated in britain but thats because they were british fighters and extremely entertaining fighters at that. with tese guys you always got your moneys worth

[Silencers]

The ones that say they'd beat Jones are overrating them, but by most, they're underrated.

no disrespect to Michael Watson who is a legend in my eyes ,but Watson gave Benn & Eubank all they could handle & Michael Watson was'nt a great fighter IMO good but not great ,Michael Watson was given a Boxing lesson by Mike McCallum ,McCallum probably did more damage to him than Chris Eubank

I disagree about Watson he could have been one of the best suppermiddle weights. although he was beat by McCallum he was inactive going into the fight he also had an injury just before the fight which pushed the fight back by a few months and was not in the best shape going in, he learnt a hell of a lot from that loss and when he moved up i think he could have achieved a lot.
