    Your right the second fight against Watson was at super-middle. Maybe I'm taking Eubank's win over Benn lightly. I just like the fact Benn moved out to America and won there whilst Eubank stayed at home. I can agree though, Eubank better at middle, Benn better at super-middle.

    My Top Ten British Middleweights post World War II

    10 Chris Pyatt
    9 Chris Eubank
    8 Michael Watson
    7 Kevin Finnegan
    6 Tony Sibson
    5 Terry Downes
    4 Nigel Benn
    3 Herol Graham
    2 Alan Minter
    1 Randy Turpin

    Mentions: Pat McAteer, Cowboy McCormack, Johnny Pritchett, Bunny Sterling, Mark Kaylor, Richie Woodhall, Neville Brown, Howard Eastman* and Jason Matthews

    *I try not to include active fighters, but I made an exception for Eastman due to age and unlikely positive career devolopment as a fighter.

    The Benn and Eubank rivalry in the late 80's and early 1990's was fantastic.
    Will we ever see that again?

    Should Jason Matthews be up here? He was WBO champ too.
