    I say yes. He was the essence of ferocity and excitement. Never really in a boring fight. Guys like Eubanks, Collins, and Watson left it all in the ring. I'll discuss them later, but this is about Benn.

    What do you think?:deal

    Without a doubt. Eubank might have been viewed as the better fighter, but Benn beat the better caliber of oposition for me.

    Hall of Fames are a lame and totally pointless concept, so no

    McGuigan is the yard stick for me by which I rate potential HOF fighters.

    Definitely. If Mcguigan got in for taking a beating, the battles with Eubank and Mclellan should be enough alone.

    Nigel Benn was a TANK!!
    With out doubt a HOF.

    Funny when you see Benn and Eubank today just how close their friendship is.
    Looking at the vid posted, the hatred bewtween the 2 fighters in the 90`s
    was a boxoffice seller in it`s self.

    The mans name is Eubank. Chris Eubank. Not Eubanks.

    And yeah. If Barry McGuigan is in the HOF, then Benn sure as hell should be to.
