    Colin McMillan: Benn And Eubank Would Of Beaten Calzaghe

    "Some people have short memories. Benn was a complete fighting machine at super-middleweight. He stalked, he dipped, he rolled, he ****** the body and blasted the head.

    "Eubank came up with a style that was almost impossible to beat. (He) landed his shots from out of range, jabs or rights, head or body, and always got himself out of harms way. He could also be the consummate counter-puncher and Benn the ultimate warrior.

    "From what I saw of Calzaghe last night, if that was Benn or Eubank in their prime he was in with it would of been like lamb to the slaughter. He would lose to both, I've always thought that."


    (McMillan was Audley Harrison's manager, don't know if he still is. He was once considered Britain's answer to Sugar Ray Leonard, but injured his shoulder badly during a fight, his title loss, and had to be carried out on a stretcher and was never the same)

      Difficult for me to see Benn's chin holding up against a young Calzaghe, or Eubank's lack of workrate/stamina living with Calzaghe.

          You think I don't know that? Unfortunately, this ****ty board doesn't allow you to edit titles.

              Sweet C was the ****, fleet on his feet and some good handspeed and combinations though lack of a KO punch. Shame it had to end like that, Manny Steward picked Sweet C to take over America at some stage. Rarely do you find a boxer who could be a lawyer, that was Sweet C.
