    Erm, Benn was no loser.

    Champion at two weights, beat Barkley, Wharton and Mclellan. Whatever side of the Eubank/Benn line you fall on you cant get away with calling either of them 'a loser'. :verysad

    I don't remember people hating Lewis either, I lot of people didn't like Eubank but that was nothing to do with it winner, just the pompus persona he put foward.

    British fans might be more forgiving of loses (as opposed to losers) than, say, the Yanks and arrogance doesn't to tend to come across well but they don't hate winners out of hand. Lazy cliche.
