    Naaa, Benn didn't really want to fight Toney. That fight was there for him if he'd wanted it.

      I remember that whole situation. That was a promoter situation. Benn definitely wanted to fight him.

          I remember it too, including Toney (accompanied by Micky Rourke!) calling both Benn and eubank out on live TV!

          Benn didn't want that work imo.

            After that segment is what I'm talking about. If Benn had beaten Eubank, Toney would have been up for consideration. But then Toney made a huge mistake in accepting a fight against Jones. It's very similar to the whole Fury/Joshua/Wilder situation if you think about it.

            Chris "talked about my muvva!" Eubank is the one who was scared. And rightfully so, because that version of Toney would have embarrassed him. I think Benn would have had a decent showing but lost a clear decision.

              Yes, it's all just hypothetical but I agree. Thanks for the memories!!
