Top 10 British Fighters of All-Time

I think Eubank should be higher up than Benn.

Eubank could of been the best of the lot, but he's the one who fell short of his potential most.

If people are gonna hate then they need to stay away from this thread.

The second Watson fight had a bit to do with that, but he still had the impressive victory over Mr Nige, and a few other very solid wins.

Watson x2
Malinga
Rogchianni
Benn (I personally thought he won the second fight too very closely although Benn's best moments were better than Eubanks)

Some my reason to believe that Eubank should be higher than Benn also has to do with the fact that prime for prime Eubank was just a better overall fighter.

ha ha ha ha. So Benny Leonard who are one of Ted Lewis contemporaries made it to Ring Top 80. What the phukk they both came along at the same time and you gonna tell because it was the last 80 years. ha ha ha ha. No. 1 in the world. ha ha ha ha All of a sudden he was better then Tunney or Dempsey . Britton got the best of him and that ***** slapper Britton even knocked out Lewis at one time.

Also, many people predicted that if Gary Stretch was motivated he'd beat Eubank, Stretch was a better prospect than Joe Calzaghe but his heart was never in the game. Eubank's finish on Stretch was awesome, he unleased a quick and slick combination of punches from out of nowhere when he was in trouble himself.. and then when Stretch covered up for dear life Eubank paused for a moment before slipping a sweet uppercut under his guard. Henry Wharton was arguably Eubank's most complete performance, he wasn't supposed to do so well against Wharton, Eubank was supposed to be on the slide (after lazy performances against awful opposition Amaral and Schommer) while Wharton had given Benn his toughest ever fight earlier that year. Ronnie Essett, Tony Thornton and Lindell Holmes were world-class fighters who Eubank dominated in his prime.

Eubank was undefeated in his 43 fights, with 19 world championship wins, and he had never even been knocked down at that point (he slipped against Benn and Watson, they were slips not knockdowns). That is ELITE.
