    Where Do Benn And Eubank Stack Up With All The Other Super Middleweights Of The 90's?

    Just curious what everyone thinks, where were these guys in comparison to other fighters in or near their weight class in their decade?

    They were the top two at super-middle, the super-stars of that division. You can't say James Toney was the top super-middle when Roy Jones fought him, because Toney only had three or four title fights at super-middle and only two of those were screened on TV and only screened in America. Benn and Eubank had about 50 super-middle title fights between them, and every one of their fights were screened world-wide. They were the longest-reigning super-middle champs, ahead of Toney and Jones. And Eubank's and Benn's fights were screened world-wide rather than just in America, and they were ofcourse super-stars.

          some of their fights were shown on Americn TV. And the rest would have seen it on sky sports. I dont think they get sky sports in most countries. Justing pointing out you use the term "world-wide" a bit *******ly.

            They were fighting live on ITV, and those cards where screened world-wide hence why the announcer would stand in the ring for 10 mins before any of the fights started just reading out all the countries that are watching and welcoming them.

                  Gerald McClellan would have Jones out within 3.

                  Also

                  The Celtic Warrior beats him
                  Benn beats him
                  Toney in good condition beats him
