    The Ring had moved Benn, Eubank and Nunn up to SMW by the end of the year which is where I did my cribbing, so I didn't consider them but, seeing as you mention them...

    Marvin kayoes Benn mid to late after taking some nasty body punishment, outworks Eubank over 12 rds and has all he could handle with Nunn. For me, that's the fight he could have lost although Nunn is not the great name at middleweight that Hagler is.

    And, yes, what an era. The 90s gave us great times at middle, welter, heavy and maybe jnr welter. But that batch of middles was, arguably, the decade's finest hour.
