    Seen as no one else has replied I'll join in lol. Eubank benn 1 is one of my all time faves. Eubank showed great willpower to absorb benns early onslaught and outbox him. Benn was a killer at the time with massive power at mw. Think we see best of Eubank here, great skills and will. He seemed to become more passive after the Watson tragedy. Great atmosphere too, us Brits love a domestic world title fight!

        Benn for me is the most exciting fighter to ever come out of the UK.

          I agree...he lost his conviction after Watson

            Those two never figured each other out so im sure a third fight would have been exciting. That plus the fact the were two proud warriors from the same background who wanted to prove to each other who was the tougher one makes it one of the greatest rivalries in boxing history.

              That's funny, I watched that and Barkley vs Benn a few days ago. Terrific fights in the golden era of British boxing.

                Classic.

                Give this a watch aswell if you haven't already. I dont know how to make it appear on the forum page but if someone could do that for me it would be much appreciated.
