    35 years ago,one of the greatest all British Middleweight fights took place.
    That war between Benn and Eubank started a feud that passed on down to their son's.
    Last night Conor Benn finally claimed a victory for the family
    Got to say tho, the sons fights could never live up to the original s.

    Spot on,Fergy. The sons have been pretty good fighters but their dads were/are legends.

    Loved the early ninety s Rivalry, Stevie.
    Benn, Eubank and Watson, great fights.
    Really gave British middles a boost in popularity.
