Eubank on how/why he beat Benn/Watson (Awesome article.)

[Tom Cruise]

Eubank had a much tougher life than Benn

really? by the sounds of it Benn spent his entire youth either getting beat up or beating up National Front members.

Eubank lived in the Bronx for a while, but from what he said he stayed inside most of the time not wanting to go outside...

ok reading up on it Eubank did have a tough start in life, both did.

That isnt the toughness he's talking about in the article though.

A brilliant time in boxing. I watched many of their early fights & many of the title fights & was at Old Trafford for the rematch.

And Eubank is from (one of) my old manor in SE London & Benn is a fellow West Ham fan so I loved them both. They were the perfect foil for each other in the way that Ali & Frazier were.

And I understand where Eubank is coming from in this article. Not sure I agree with him 100% but if that's part of what drove him then fair enough. It's a little like the hunger/anger/envy that drove Hagler. But a toned down British version.
