Bit before my time, but I don't mind their Dads.

I can tolerate Eubank Jnr, but not Benn.

Never liked Benn at all, although his win over McClellan is one of the greatest ever by a British fighter in recent times. Bar that win i never really rated him.
His son Connor for me comes across as vile and odious.

The lack of awareness from Connor Benn is astounding.

Oddly enough I posted the night of that fight in the tv listings thread today. It was 30 years ago last night:

You were either benn or eubank and Sr was a prize cunt
Eubank Snr was playing an act.
Nigel Benn will probably go down as Britain’s 4th best ever Super MW
Calzaghe
Froch
Eubank
The above 3 were better fighters for me.
A prime Robin Reid, James De Gale, George Groves and Billy Joe Saunders would all give Benn a good fight. I think BJS would beat him and the others certainly could.

One of the best fights I’ve ever seen. Sadly there were tragic circumstances.

It's difficult to separate the real Eubank Sr from the act. He clearly has issues.

I don't think there was much between Eubank and Benn in terms of their careers.

Froch and Calzaghe are clear of both. Joe was clearly the most skilled of the four. I would pick peak Calzaghe to beat all the names you mentioned.

I saw Benn in the gym a couple of months ago and i think 5'8 is probably a stretch. I can't see how Eubank Jr doesn't win with the physical advantages he possesses

Jr was never an elite level MW and is probably past his best.

Conor is probably British level.

The whole spectacle is punching way above its weight.
