    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.

    Some of those early ESPN fights (of Barkley) like the Robbie Sims fight were ALL OUT WARS like you don’t see remotely near today

    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.
