oh yeah, I'd add that he did redeem himself in the Eubank remacth, which I felt Benn won pretty handily.
Exactly - and their careers are so intrinsically linked it's kinda pointless too. Both fine fighters though, along with Watson they created a true golden age for British boxing.
You never hear one mentioned without the other. Their legacy is equal imo. Throw in Watson,then Collins and we had our domestic version of Leonard,Hagler,hearns,Duran.
