Why did Eubank and Benn DUCK James Toney and RJJ?!!

[Albo Da Kid]

What you British fellas don't realize though, is that you're lucky these fights never took place because Eubank/benn would have both lost and Britain fighter would have a reputation to this day that they only produce what James Toney said...."Bums"

No but seriously though, if these fights took place you guys would have been heartbroken that your most potential fighters would have been destroyed by America's finest.

not at all, he weren't heartbroken when Hatton lost twice.

as another poster said above - the money generated between Benn/Collins/Eubank/Watson was huge for its day.

Eubank alone made £20 million for a 10 fight contract with Sky!! £20 million in those days was huge money.

Just like McClellan, right?

He should never have messed with Benn, look at him now - he's a cabbage.

Damn man thats a lowblow. I went to the fund raiser that Benn held for McClellan, it was good seeing all these old boxers but then when you see Gerald in his wheelchair and shyt it weren't something i wanted to see again

Benn turned down a Jones fight. I believe he asked for something ridiculous - like $10 mil - then claimed he was too old to fight Jones.

I guessing this was post-McClellan?

You believe wrong, Jones was the mandatory for Benns WBC belt but he chose to move back down to fight Hopkins instead and after the Mclellan fight Jones said he didn't make the fight because of Don King.

Then Don went on to rip Warren off, I'm no fan of Don King, but i'm so glad he screwed Warren over money.
