Chris Eubank really was a much hated fighter, not for his ability, for me, he was an absolute dream of a boxer/fighter but, he is what he is, an arrogant dick with a superiority complex, and he'll never get past that!
@TheShqipe98 I agree with that but, without exception, when they do get beaten, the 'Big Mouths' tend to look and sound the worst? Nasim Hamed is a good example?
His heart was broken when he found out he gave him brain damage, so much humility, great story great video , thank you 🙏 we are extremely proud to have him here in Australia 🇦🇺
And I as an English man am gutted he isn't over here. Ya Lucky buggers. And yea, if I remember the papers correctly, he went and visited him the day after the fight. Sat by his side for as long as he was allowed.. Benn felt some heavy guilt that day 😢
What humility you could argue that it was intentional the head butt, it is brutal sport and anyone who fights in it has no humility whatsoever, sport sponsered by cte
There wasn't a fighter in the world who enjoyed fighting him. 100 percent record at the middle division. Hit hard and was super fit. Stopped Benn and that took some doing. James Toney never shouted his name, even though he was fighting for peanuts.
I miss when fighters fought the best of the best to prove they are the best. To many champions now, how can 3 people be the champion of the world in the same weight class, it dont make sense.
It’s been nearly 100 years since split belts with the IBU, NYSAC and NBA. Now we have the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF. No one in living memory has seen undisputed champions in all weight classes at the same time. I would like anyone to show me when they saw one champ per weight class or the eight traditional weight classes. Split belts have been in boxing longer than it wasn’t.

Karma struck on the second Benn - Eubank fight. King had contracts that stated he would become manager of the winner and loser of the fight. They drew so he got no one and they got away from him.
Guy was terrible for boxing. People complain about "too many belts these days" but did you know that since the 1930s there have always been at least 2 champs per weight class. It was never a problem though because the belts were almost always unified. In the 70s, King realized you could make more money segregating the belts.

Man, I forgot that Tina Turners Simply The Best was like Eubank's theme song. It brought back so many memories. Also, Michael Watson deserved an honourable mention for being the first man to beat Benn and the first man who gave Eubank a real beating.
Appreciate response Pete. Agreed. I’m 40 now. My dad woke me up every time there was a fight throughout the 80’s (before most were taken from terrestrial networks and the PPV really kicked in) from Eubank, Bruno, Benn, Watson, Mcguiggan even Nazeem. I have very happy memories of those nights. It was a proper quality time with the old man. Great stuff. And again yeah the Watson omission is significant. SMH
Benn was stitched up for that first Eubank fight - the weight cut meant he had no legs. Once he’d lost once, it rattled his confidence and eubank became his bogeyman.
Eubanks was the superior boxing to be honest, he had that cat like stalking style, he also beat Watson twice, watson outclassed benn and k.o him when they fought, Eubanks dont get the credit he deserves he was a warrior, he even went the distance in a close fight against Carl Thompson in his prime at junior heavyweight, Carl Thompson whooped David Haye within 5 rounds when he was washed up

These guys have away of sounding so refined when they are threatening to take your head off. It’s extraordinary. American boxers (including those from Latin America and Canada) are so used to the indignant street talk that they probably don’t take it seriously. But those British fighters are as tough as nails, and when they say they “shall destroy you,” they mean it.
When Benn went through the ropes... after that, the recovery was incredible. So durable and powerful but immense skill behind all of that snarl. Amazing boxer and fighter.
Every time I see that fight, see him squinting on one knee, it moves me to tears. We don’t fight to actually kill someone (usually). He had so much talent. Such a shame. It was class to see the two reconcile later.

I wonder how many believers there would be in the world if it were not forced on children? Probably alot less.

My absolute hero, the dark destroyer nigel benn, grown up watching his fights and he was the pure definition of a warrior. Never gave up and just fought like his life depended on it. Always will be one of my all time favourites ❤
I've seen all the ringwalks,the flying carpets,the men on thrones,boxers coming in on motor bikes but no one did a ring walk better than Nigel Benn.the chimes at the beginning.the sound just before the"dangerous" music kicked in and then the roar from the crowd as Nigel appeared into the arena.I was at several of his biggest fights and i have never experienced anything quite like those atmosphere's before or since.
just because its not 30mins doesnt mean its not the same great quality. two seconds in and all i know is nigel was shredded lol. genuine genetic freak that I've never heard of. keep up the good work guys
He's only 'ever heard' of US WORLD champions or fighters in the US of A - hardly a boxing fan. Talk about insular, maybe he just sees whats put in front of him.There have been 100's of UK WORLD Champions. I'm looking forward to the upcoming fight; Deontay Wilder vs some UK guy this dude's never heard of.
Wow! Growing up in the 80's & 90's in America, I don't recall any British boxers until Lennox Lewis came on the heavyweight scene. We were deprived greatness.
Great Fighter Nigel Benn, I used to see him running along Santa Ponsa beach Majorca, every morning on my way to work. Funny thing is I would get the papers every Sunday and one Sunday he was all over the newspapers that he's been having an affair with a woman in Santa Ponsa Majorca, so know I know where he was running to all those mornings, True story
Am I the only one who thinks Eubanks is an absolute badass? He’s like an anime character... such an individual, like a gentlemen from the 1800s stuck in time, destined to fight
@@franko1174 There are always one or two opponents who 'have your number', it happens to everyone, even the greats (Lennox ? for example).

Benn was in hospital his self for a week pissing blood with a head like a water melon after the G-man fight, he was never the same fighter again it damaged him both physically and mentally
Rusty Reid yeah and I think the beginning of the end for G-Man was those brutal was with Julian Jackson. Despite winning the fights by knockout McClellan also took some insanely brutal shots from Jackson (who is one of the hardest punchers I’ve ever seen)
I loved Nigel Benn. He was a true warrior in every sense. Even in defeat he never backed down. He fought some truly epic fights. One of the best British Middleweight Boxers ever.
He injured his ankle but even if he did quit, getting to the point of fighting world class fighters is 1000% more than you've accomplished in your boring life....gob shite

If those fighters were around today? At their pique? Things would look a lot different to say the least, but you factor in how much boxing has changed? It’s really tough to say..
@@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide Well if you look at each of the fighters mentioned they all brought something different to the table,i feel the only 2-3 middleweights of this era that would of survived 12 rounds with alot of these fighters are probably,GGG,BJS and Canelo,But one fighter that could of beat alot of these fighters was Dmitry Pirog because he had a style that mirrors alot of these fighters combined,but who knows it would of been a great fight every week with the promotional power boxing has now....Bless
Life is Blessed that is true, That’ll be a boxing promoter/managements dream; Vegas would be on fire.. boxing fans would feel like comic book fans when Infinity Wars was in the theater. I’d love to see Julius Jackson in his prime in this era, an Roy Jones too.. geezus that would be interesting. I agree, man, great points!
KuttyJoe Absolutely nothing like Tyson, Mike used the gloves high peek a boo style that was schooled into him by Cus, and then unleashed awesome punches particularly the left hook. Benn was a slugger, who knew his power could overcome. I knew Watson would beat him, I knew Eubank would beat him, but he matured into a better boxer and the defeat of G-man was one of the greatest performances of any British boxers EVER.

My Uncle Henry Wharton fought him for the WBC super middleweight title in 1994 and in the same year fought Chris Eubank. I have much respect for Nigel, he was definitely one of the "greats" of the division.
Without a doubt, This was arguably the best era for boxing his condition in the thumbnail was on point. He was a exciting skilled and ruthless! Loved the 80's and 90's
Literally everybody watched Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank, including your mother and grandmother (mum and nan). Eubank's ring entrance and Tina Turner theme brings back memories instantly. Wow.
It's amazing to think that the 3 hardest hitters of all time in the Middleweight division were all fighting at the same time. McLennan, Jackson and Benn.
Go watch the chris eubank interview directly at the end of the 1st fight, you would think eubank had lost, if benns eye had not closed he would have, but just watch that interview and you will understand benns power.
Loved watching the boxing 🥊 in the 80's and 90's, with Tyson, Eubank's, Benn etc. Watching them in the pub as they were on terrestrial TV 📺 FREE !! I always favoured Eubanks as I'm a Brightonian & Chris along with his brothers & family were always seen in & around where I used to go. You often couldn't miss him driving around in crazy cars, and then came the Peterbuilt truck!!! I was lucky to get tickets to one of Eubanks early fights in his home town, beating Dan Sherry.
Those Eubank Benn fights of the nineties were all time classics.
Chris Eubank really was a much hated fighter, not for his ability, for me, he was an absolute dream of a boxer/fighter but, he is what he is, an arrogant dick with a superiority complex, and he'll never get past that!

@David Mc Hmmmm I wonder how many of the people that voted for him were old enough to have actually watched him fight rather than odd clips on CZcams?
@David Mc To you.
Ste Bee Roy Jones jr is missing 👍😷💪
Man, I forgot that Tina Turners Simply The Best was like Eubank's theme song. It brought back so many memories.
Also, Michael Watson deserved an honourable mention for being the first man to beat Benn and the first man who gave Eubank a real beating.
dan the man Watson yes absolutely I was waiting to hear some reference but nothing. Great vid all the same
@@daz090979 I loved Benn and Eubank but Watson was my idol
Appreciate response Pete. Agreed. I’m 40 now. My dad woke me up every time there was a fight throughout the 80’s (before most were taken from terrestrial networks and the PPV really kicked in) from Eubank, Bruno, Benn, Watson, Mcguiggan even Nazeem. I have very happy memories of those nights. It was a proper quality time with the old man. Great stuff. And again yeah the Watson omission is significant. SMH
Damn bro thx for the info never heard of Watson just watched some footage of him he damn sure was a beast.
@@muhammad3515 yes mate, see if you can find the documentary on his life, career and injury. Unreal stuff.
I like how Calm and dangerous Eubanks is!!
Benn was stitched up for that first Eubank fight - the weight cut meant he had no legs. Once he’d lost once, it rattled his confidence and eubank became his bogeyman.
@ray ray he is still in pretty good shape
Eubankth
@@cybertrophic I thought Benn won the rematch.they only gave it as a draw so they would do it again.
Eubanks was the superior boxing to be honest, he had that cat like stalking style, he also beat Watson twice, watson outclassed benn and k.o him when they fought, Eubanks dont get the credit he deserves he was a warrior, he even went the distance in a close fight against Carl Thompson in his prime at junior heavyweight, Carl Thompson whooped David Haye within 5 rounds when he was washed up

Thank you for this! The Benn-Eubank matches were absolute british classics. Tragic what happened to McClellan but as you said this is a dangerous sport. That fight broke Benn's love for the game.
It was a dirty fight wtf are you talking about love for.
I remember playing a game of pool with him, in the, Plough pub, Ilford lane, many years ago. He was a good bloke, and player.
Respect 👍
I grew up near Liford Lane I remember people talking about Benn being there when I was a kid.
“I shall take you out...you belong to me.”
“I have no time for such people...”
~Eubank
British fighters sound refined even when they insult you. 😆😂
No that’s how Eubank just speaks...
Ramone DeCurta English
He wanted to sound poetic or maybe he's just wired differently.
@@ryangalloway2927 He does, considering he was brought up in children's homes he has turned out a fantastic role model for other children... a Gentleman !
These guys have away of sounding so refined when they are threatening to take your head off. It’s extraordinary.
American boxers (including those from Latin America and Canada) are so used to the indignant street talk that they probably don’t take it seriously.
But those British fighters are as tough as nails, and when they say they “shall destroy you,” they mean it.
My favourite ever. Never forget watching the McLellan fight.
When Benn went through the ropes... after that, the recovery was incredible. So durable and powerful but immense skill behind all of that snarl. Amazing boxer and fighter.
There was a lot of speculation Benn took drugs. Search it up.
@@minds777 That's no secret!

Every time I see that fight, see him squinting on one knee, it moves me to tears.
We don’t fight to actually kill someone (usually).
He had so much talent.
Such a shame.
It was class to see the two reconcile later.
Uh, kinda missed the bit where Watson took Benn to school in '89. Still, the Benn-Watson-Eubank era was fucking electric.
I went to that fight.it was in the finsbury park super tent. What an atmosphere!
Yeah, I was just about to say that. Watson was a great fighter, but unfortunately a lot of people only remember what happened to him against Eubank.
It was a shame calzaghe was just to late on the scene. He was the best out of the lot of them

I wonder how many believers there would be in the world if it were not forced on children? Probably alot less. Surely if there was a god the biggest thing thing he would do would be to present himself in some way to all us doubters and say" surprise"? I won't hold my breath.

Karma caught McClellan. Hate to say that. He was in a bad way after he fought Julian Jackson and didn't listen to doctors.
Taped his labs mouth shut and allowed his pit bull to savage it. It's sad what happened to him now, but I do think karma has a way of rebalancing things out.

My absolute hero, the dark destroyer nigel benn, grown up watching his fights and he was the pure definition of a warrior. Never gave up and just fought like his life depended on it. Always will be one of my all time favourites ❤
I've seen all the ringwalks,the flying carpets,the men on thrones,boxers coming in on motor bikes but no one did a ring walk better than Nigel Benn.the chimes at the beginning.the sound just before the"dangerous" music kicked in and then the roar from the crowd as Nigel appeared into the arena.I was at several of his biggest fights and i have never experienced anything quite like those atmosphere's before or since.
Great comment.
just because its not 30mins doesnt mean its not the same great quality. two seconds in and all i know is nigel was shredded lol. genuine genetic freak that I've never heard of. keep up the good work guys
Watch more than 2 seconds then dickhead

Great Fighter Nigel Benn, I used to see him running along Santa Ponsa beach Majorca, every morning on my way to work.
Funny thing is I would get the papers every Sunday and one Sunday he was all over the newspapers that he's been having an affair with a woman in Santa Ponsa Majorca, so know I know where he was running to all those mornings, True story

Benn was in hospital his self for a week pissing blood with a head like a water melon after the G-man fight, he was never the same fighter again it damaged him both physically and mentally
Rusty Reid yeah and I think the beginning of the end for G-Man was those brutal was with Julian Jackson. Despite winning the fights by knockout McClellan also took some insanely brutal shots from Jackson (who is one of the hardest punchers I’ve ever seen)
None can ever compare. The legitimate excitement this channel brings to SO many!!

This is great could you please do one on tito trinidad he was another destroyer especially at welterweight
Can't forget ol cast wraps Tito
I like how people only remember his run after hopkins when he was a part time fighter competing well above his natural weight. Before 2001 he was a p4p beast who was annihilating young talent and they weren't fighting the same again. Anyone who says otherwise dksab
Im not a huge tito fan to the extent were i couldn't see his flaws but before Hopkins (who is easily in my top 10 greatest boxers)trinidad ran through everyone he was a machine cant no one deny him that.
Loma 2 Actual he wasn’t a destroyer at welterweight? Lol you don’t know shit about boxing
@Jscottmoody oscar got tired then ran do he gave up rounds & Trinidad started landing he did it to himself & vargas has no chin he would've got ko anyway.
TheLate 80s and 90s had the most stacked Middleweight division ever,James Toney,Roy Jones,Mike Mccallum,Gerald Mcclellan,Julian Jackson,Chris Eubank,Nigel Benn,Steve Collins,Michael Watson,
Joe Calzaghe,Chris Pyatt,Glen Johnson,Montell Griffin and many more....Imagine these fighters were around today ohhhhh my......Nigel benn is a real fighter
If those fighters were around today? At their pique? Things would look a lot different to say the least, but you factor in how much boxing has changed? It’s really tough to say..
@@DarkSideOfTheBrightSide Well if you look at each of the fighters mentioned they all brought something different to the table,i feel the only 2-3 middleweights of this era that would of survived 12 rounds with alot of these fighters are probably,GGG,BJS and Canelo,But one fighter that could of beat alot of these fighters was Dmitry Pirog because he had a style that mirrors alot of these fighters combined,but who knows it would of been a great fight every week with the promotional power boxing has now....Bless
Calzaghi was the best out of them all.
Life is Blessed that is true, That’ll be a boxing promoter/managements dream; Vegas would be on fire.. boxing fans would feel like comic book fans when Infinity Wars was in the theater.
I’d love to see Julius Jackson in his prime in this era, an Roy Jones too.. geezus that would be interesting.
I agree, man, great points!
JT ehhhhh.. I disagree, but he was a good fighter, seriously.
In their prime? You’d say he’s the best out THAT list?
I don't think there's every a bigger knock out waiting to happen than in the opening shot from Nigel and the beam pole😂
He really does remind me of Mike Tyson, the way he moves.
KuttyJoe Absolutely nothing like Tyson, Mike used the gloves high peek a boo style that was schooled into him by Cus, and then unleashed awesome punches particularly the left hook. Benn was a slugger, who knew his power could overcome. I knew Watson would beat him, I knew Eubank would beat him, but he matured into a better boxer and the defeat of G-man was one of the greatest performances of any British boxers EVER.
Nigel Parker couldnt agree more he doesnt move like mike. Although 3:09 is a classic tyson movement
maybe but he looks like Leon Edwards?????
Now that I'm thinking Marvin Hagler was more like the middleweight Tyson.😒

My Uncle Henry Wharton fought him for the WBC super middleweight title in 1994 and in the same year fought Chris Eubank. I have much respect for Nigel, he was definitely one of the "greats" of the division.
Henry was a very good boxer himself, he was in a great period of British middleweights
I remember Henry!
Henry Wharton was a solid fighter back in the day. I'm sure he dropped Benn in that fight too
Used to go watch Henry fight around Yorkshire when he was a young lad , the fights didn't last long though.
Without a doubt, This was arguably the best era for boxing his condition in the thumbnail was on point. He was a exciting skilled and ruthless! Loved the 80's and 90's
