What was the better fight: EUBANK v BENN I or BENN v McCLELLAN?

Not the most original thread ever I agree, but it's an argument a mate and I were having today, so decided to get the Brit Forum view.

Please vote and say why :bbb


PS: I realize I have spelled G-Man's name wrong in the poll, I am a semi-******ed individual.

 

Benn vs McClellan for me, one of my favourite fights of all time - sadly the fight is marred by the injuries mcclellan sustained.

 

Benn-G Man for me.

 

DINAMITA why do you like the eubank vs benn fight better? (not a bad choice btw!)

 

Benn McClellan, although they're both great fights and it's certainly a lot easier to pop the Eubank fight in the video.

 

I don't, I think Benn v G-Man is slightly better and my mate (not an ESB member) says Eubank v Benn I is better, so I told him I'd give him a one vote start (my vote) and still win the vote!! We'll see.

 

I think it is pretty safe to say you have won this vote!

 

Its been a while since I saw the fights but I remember the second Benn-Eubank fight as being better than the first.

 

Benn-McClellan. Brutal war. Tragic ending.

 

Benn - Mclellan , all time classic fight.
Benn - Watson was also a fantastic fight ,although it would come third here.

 

I haven't seen Benn v Eubank I for a fair old while to be honest.

I'll go for the brutal Benn/McClellan.

 

I just watched Benn vs Watson again a couple of hours ago! a great strategical fight by Watson against the inexperienced Benn.

 

Have to say Benn Eubank I. It had almost the same intensity only stretched out longer and eventually the man on the end of the beating had the resolve, guts, character, toughness, talent, and audacity to weather the storm and put his tormentor to the sword. ****ing hell, I sound like the spirit of Eubank has possessed me! Helluva fighter in those days and a hell of a character to this day. Right, now that my hat's been duly doffed I'll be off to bed. (lithpth) Path me my monocle and my thkateboard thingie!

 

All that said, Benn McLellan was some utter, sheer ****ing brutalism which some primeval part of us all craves. Think the tragic aftermath sullied it for me somewhat ala Eubank Watson. Strange how to such a degree the careers and lives of Benn and Eubank, so infinitely linked as adversaries, mirrored eachother. You'd think they may be able to bury the hatchet and bond through shared turmoil. Alas, it seems they never will.

 

They are both cool with each other these days, like old mates. I think most of hatred came from Benns side and now he's found God and all that.....
