There's a superb series on prime following the careers and life after their careers of Bruno, Benn, Eubank and Lewis.

Some great memories, but also very sad as well. Fantastic watch

that sounds great, Lewis was my hero back then, such a great boxer and those Eubank and Benn fights were incredible

Excellent, thanks Hayes!

A great era, probably my favourite to be honest - the WWs and the MWs

Nunn, Curry, McCrory, Kalambay, Barkley, Benn, Eubank, McCallum, Watson, Graham, Julian Jackson etc... plenty of KOs, and just a more colourful time I think.

Sky do a boxing gold which is often featuring fights around this era too.

As a young pain in butt adult, went in a pub during a Eubank fight loudly saying he was a showboat nobody

Learnt my lesson that day, don't talk crap about things you know nothing about, and especially if you in a pub where an ex pro boxer is drinking, who is successfully doing a good human impression of an XL Bully dog !!

It makes you stop talking crap very quickly and you end up paying numerous visits to the hostelries' little boys room !!

The difference then was that most of the British fights were on ITV, seemed like there was boxing on TV 2 or 3 times a week. Joe Public could all get to watch and know the fighters.
Also the best fighters actually fought each other in their prime unlike nowadays.

££££s has made boxing a shadow of its heyday, just like it has with football. Sad.

From the TV thread…

Four Kings (Amazon Prime) steals the title of the book about Duran, Sugar Ray, Hearns and Hagler for a series about black British champs Bruno, Benn, Lewis and Eubank. It’s great nostalgia, but I’m surprised how much they show of the Watson and McClennan fights, the first I saw on TV at the time, the second I’d never seen a second of. The interviews are great: Lewis is a smug prick, but fair enough with knobs on considering what he did and still has, Bruno and Benn are doing a fair job of doing it tough, and Eubank…is still Eubank, I’m delighted to report (fingers crossed).
