    He came from the streets of Panama with nothing. Nothing. His fists got him through.

    John Ruiz and Sam Peter were clumsy tubs of lard.

    He was a tub of lard though.

    Stop putting down other boxers just so you can fawn over Benn.

    I loved watching that Gladiators show between Eubank and Benn many years after their famous rivalry. Things were still so heated between them. A real genuine dislike for each other.

    I know Eubank says he didn’t dislike Benn but the way he spoke about him back in the day was with disdain on his face - he disliked him, clearly.
