It looks like Nigel Benn (aged 54), and Chris Eubank (aged 52) are heading for a rubber match!

Didn't one of them say it would easily generate 100+mil or some ****?

 

They've both been shot to f for years/decades now, but Eubank is more so. Not something I view as an actual fight, just light entertainment

 

I'd have my last £10 Sr said that rubbish.

 

You must have noticed how big Sr actually is, he is probably a cruiserweight, Benn is no bigger than a Super Middleweight.

I just don't see how this happens, the size difference it just too big.

 

Both skint then.

 

Someone could get hurt, their reflexes will be completely gone, time for the pipe and slippers.

 

To put in simple context, Benn was 32 when he fought McClellan in 1995!

That was way before the internet became "mainstream", before almost anyone had mobiles while the Spice Girls and Oasis were the biggest band in the UK (the first time around).

 

The size difference wasn`t a problem before and Benn had more KO`s in his career than Eubank, specifically at middle where he was explosive, Eubank fought at cruiser and couldn`t even knock out Carl Thompson, Holyfield would have easily knocked Eubank out.

 

Benn was one of those fighters who was stuck between weights, he grew a little too big for middleweight but was a small Super Middleweight.

Eubank struggled badly to make middleweight for quite a while, when he move up he struggled to make Super Middleweight.

Eubanks ideal weight would have probably been Light Heavyweight after Watson II.


Eubank has filled out with age, he is much broader now he has retired and packed on quite a bit of muscle, I don't see how he even gets down the 175 now.

But I bet Benn could make 170 quite easily.

 

Since Benn was a big middleweight while being a small super middle does that explain his higher KO rate at middle? his KO`s dried up a lot when he moved up.

 

I mean, Hill vs. Maske II happened, but for every such one that does, yeah, there are like a dozen that don't.

 

I hope not also. It might give some older guys hopes of doing it again and it hurts boxing, as well as being dangerous for both of them at that age.

 

Let these men fight if that’s what they both want!
Hell, I’d pay money right now to see the current versions of Larry Holmes and George Foreman go at it

 

Give them pillows for gloves and let them have at it. Old people need the attention as much you whippersnappers

 

I call BS. How much would you pay for that?
