Chris Eubank's handspeed was extremely quick in his prime, single shots and dazzling combinations. I'd put him behind only Jones and Nunn from the fighters listed.

Toney was never a big puncher at mw or smw, he tended to wear you down and stop you late in the fight. Which is why I rated his power so low, but thanks for responding and all the extra info you added in your gradings

I would like to say Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread. I was hoping to see, if there was some kind of way to see if certain matchups were bad for certain fighters

For example Toney vs Jones matchup:
Jones advantages
Power:+1
Handspeed:+3
Footspeed:+3
Defense:0
Offense:+1
Skillset:-1
Intelligence:0
Durability:-3
Overall:4
Toneys advantages
Power:-1
Handspeed:-3
Footspeed:-3
Defense:0
Offense:-1
Skillset:+1
Intelligence:0
Durability:+3
Overall:-4
For Toney this is a bad match up on paper and history bears this out as well

I watched the Eubank-Watson I the other day, Chris had great handspeed at mw, but he did slow down at smw. Most probably the effects of the wars and draining to make weight.

Even at Supermiddle I thought particularly in the Wharton and Thornton fights that Chris was very very quick.

With now ended up with a kind of h2h list
I think that G-man beats Jones
Jones-Nunn 50/50
Nunn should of beat Toney and he would have if he listened to his trainer(Dundee)
Thanks again to everyone who contributed, I will use this idea again in the near future

I downloaded the wharton fight but i have watched it yet. Not sure If ill bother with the Punching postmans fight, lol
