Gerald McClellan
Thulani Malinga
Eubank Best wins:
Thulani Malinga
Michael Watson
Graciano Rocchigiani
In terms of smw resume they are about the same
Originally posted by Stallone60 View PostBenn fought McClellan and was a big underdog a risky fight were Eubank didnt fight any big Stars and didnt take any risks because he was in the game for the money and just took on lower par fighters for the pay day.
Originally posted by Stallone60 View PostI have watched benn eubank 2 and i had benn winning by 2 rounds.
Originally posted by Stallone60 View PostBenn is higher ranked than eubank because the fact that he would fight against a big name and win and eubank didnt fight any big names like McClellan nunn etc only fighting Watson, benn and no one else big until he was beat by Collins.Benn also won 2 world titles abroad which isnt easy to do.

Can you justify that? Benn said on a talk show benn eubank better enemies he would take him on. If you are saying that Eubank didnt want any part of Toney.
Benn Best wins:
Gerald McClellan
Thulani Malinga
Eubank Best wins:
Thulani Malinga
Michael Watson
Graciano Rocchigiani

I disagree benn held a better belt in the business at the time the WBC for 4 years and the McClellan risk was much bigger than the rocchigiani fight. The world was more interested in benn v McClellan than eubank v rocchigiani by far. Eubank would never of risked his unbeaten record against McClellan.
The Graciano Rocchigiani fight in Germany was a big risk
I had Malinga beating Benn as well, but the record says Benn win, so we have to go with it.
I had Watson winning the first eubank fight on points and also had malinga beating eubank but the record says eubank. Eubank in alot of his fights crapped the win.
In terms of h2h and resume Eubank should be ranked higher

Benn would have lost too jones but would have given him hell in doing so,thats the reason jones wasnt too keen on facing benn
Toney would have beat benn badly its a good style match-up for JT imo
Calzaghe beats benn up at 168,remember a prime calz could punch too so it would likely be an all out war with both guys hurt on occasions,i thing joes advantage in speed and the angles he brought would have won him the fight
