A trip down memory lane....
Benn's right hands were very fast! (Very, very fast when he wasn't loading up for power.)
Benn KO still leading the poll! Suprised Benn has more than three times as many KO votes as Calzaghe.
Would he of beat McCallum or Jackson is the question
I'd love to of seen him fight Toney or Jones in the day
Hard to say because McCallum the WBA champion was the guy he was after around '89-'90, there was also the possibility of fighting Julian Jackson...
Taken from Eubank, The Autobiography:
-Few digs at Calz!
I just can't see them remaining disciplined in their boxing with their styles and attitudes meshing (into a tear-up)

When he threw his punches tightly he looked really really good - terrific stiff jab, terrific sneak right, terrific short uppercut, the flashiest...
Mind you, travelling through too much of a gap to clinch and he'd severely risk catching Benn's short overarm right because he was always abit...
And hard head shots Mike had a lot more punches blocked than Eubank did
McCallum landed a lot of body shots and threw a lot upstairs landing one often, but Eubank was was landing 3-4 on the spin regularly.
