RJJ v Carl Thompson ? Eubank v Darius or Reg Johnson (1998 articles)

i love the cat thompson, but he prolly did'nt deserve 2 share the same ring as rjj ! but the cat is the man- a modern day matthew saad muhammad (who i love 2 watch 2 by the way, specially his 2nd fight w/ marvin johnson)

Carl Thompson is the ultimate Rocky Balboa come-from-behind KO warrior,but he would of been utterly humiliated against Roy Jones unless he could land one lucky shot. Eubank vs Michalczewski circa 1996 or 1997 would of been interesting,Eubanks stamina issues wouldnt of been as much of a factor at 175 and the only way to beat Eubank (unless you were,say,Roy Jones!) was to outhussle the guy. So Eubank outpoints Michalczewski,of that I am sure.

bomber graham apparently said in 91 that he would fight watson & eubank on the same night, with half an hour rest between the fights !

yeah but what i been told he did say was he wudnt fight herol Graham or RJJ cos that he'd only have a 50% chance of winning

Nice! And here's a cool article: http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4158/is_19980420/ai_n14158845 yeah, eubank could of done alot more with himself

RJJ was always a good guy you can tell from the fact that he donated so much money to Gerald McCllelan.

Rjj Was Asked In 1996 What Would Of Happened If He Had Fought Eubank A Few Years Back And He Said "someone Would Of Wound Up Dead" actually, he said "one of us might of wound up dead", but close enough :) RJJ also said not too long ago "i always said that Eubanks was the one fighter i might of had a problem with at my peak", being sarcastic saying 'might of had a problem'- in other words 'major headache' !

wot do u think ?

Jones advises Eubank to move down in weight Roy Jones jr. has advised Chris Eubank to ply his trade at light-heavyweight in the future. Eubank, recovering from his brutal return fight with WBO cruiserweight champion Carl Thompson, which saw the proud Brighton bombast stopped for the first time in his career due to his grotesquely swollen left eye that hadn't had time to heal from their first fight, is left to weigh up his options. "There's nothing wrong with the guy," said WBC 175-pound king Jones. "His jab is still working, his neck muscles are working well enough to avoid opponents jabs. He needs to to settle in at light-heavyweight. "He can definately win a world title at light-heavyweight, whether it be against the German or for the IBF. Light-heavyweights won't be able to withstand the punches that a cruiserweight in Thompson was taking." Jones, who was floored for the first time in his career during his 12-round decision victory over Lou Del Valle just a few hours after viewing Eubank's second effort against Thompson on live television, insists that he himself is not on the slide. "That's why I don't want to fight southpaws," Jones said. "Sparring partners know you. Eventually they learn enough and they catch up with you, and catch you with something good. He caught me with a good shot but I'm a true champion. I won't quit, I won't stop." Meanwhile, Jones' TV backers at HBO have urged Irishman Steve Collins to try to defeat Welsh prodigy Joe Calzaghe first instead of coming straight out of retirement and straight into a fight with Jones. "There would be little or no interest in Collins v Jones in America. Collins has not fought in a year and a half and although he was a very good champion there would not be a great deal of interest in him in America at the moment." claimed HBO chief Lou Dibella. "If he wants to fight someone else before Roy Jones then interest may pick up. I would like to see Collins fight Joe Calzaghe, who holds Collins' former super middleweight crown. Calzaghe is an exciting fighter, whom we have earmarked to fight Roy Jones at some stage. If Collins was to fight Calazaghe possibly on a Jones undercard, then the winner could meet Jones in their next contest," Dibella added.
