I wish fighters still had the same level of respect that these two had for each other, despite their fearsome rivalry. These days, it's all trash talk and name calling and general poor behaviour by people who think they're 'sportsmen'. Most of it, I guess, is just marketing, but I don't like it. Anyway, these two provided some of the best boxing you will ever see!
All the more impressive retrospectively is that Nigel Benn was a small Middleweight, with a walk around weight of 12 stones at the most. Eubank, Watson, Collins et al, were likely walking around at 13 stones plus.

Both class boxers 🥊
There was some truly great characters in boxing during the 1990's.
Being a Benn fan l was mad at the Ref. I was real wrong, Great stoppage.
(Epic fight )
🥰🥰🥰 DUEL FANTASTIS 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🤝🇮🇩🖐️
Lennox Lewis next to Bruno …….
Eubank was better, cleaner fighter, boxer, benn was a dirty fighter, got away all the time hitting on the back of the head.
