    Benn for me.

    He came to the US to win his title against Barkley.

    His win against McClellan I believe eclipsed any of Eubank's wins.

    However, you can make a strong case either way - for me Eubank was too comfortable in Europe fighting mandatories etc.

    But Eubank did beat Benn, so there is an argument that supports a case for him.

      I don't have an all time great list and neither do you or anyone reading this thread. People talk about this all time great list but nobody on this furum actually has a written down all time great list in order from the greatest to the 50th greatest written down in neat order from 1st best to 50th best. These lists are pure BS for most boxing fans because they don't have one and don't know enough about all the great fighters to be qualified to make such a list. Probably neither Eubank nor Benn are good enough to be on a list of the 50 best boxers of all time. As to which boxer was the better boxer my vote goes to Eubank.

        Benn is my all time favourite fighter but I would put Eubank slightly ahead of him in any list. Just they were very close fights when they faced each other.

          I don’t think either of them are ATG, but I would rate Benn slightly higher despite losing to Eubank. I would rank Collins over both.

            Eubank was better technically than Benn, but as stated above his defeat of Barkley and winning one of the greatest fights I've ever witnessed, when he woke up from being unconscious on the bottom rope, to come back and stop McCellend puts him above Eubank.

                Close because Eubank Sr beat Benn. But off resume alone - it’s Benn.

                Neither is an ATG.

                  neither was a great fighter tbh
                  both were ducks and both have gift decisions in their favor.

                  but eubank has way to many robbery wins
