    Eubank interv (vids) '97 saying he'd slaughter Collins but couldn't go toe2toe w/ RJJ

    I wonder if he's changed his mind now that Jones's chin has been exposed?

    Probably not, since Eubank is smart and he knows that he would not be fighting a 35 years old Jones, and he would not be naturally LHW with a high KO ratio.

        Eubank was naturally a large light-heavyweight and won his fights on power, keeping the smaller men off with timing and classical punching (ie from the toe)

        He could lose 15-20lbs in a few days, make middleweight, fight on the same day as he made the weight (160) and still be significantly stronger than his opponent. He was phenomenally strong

          People underestimated Eubank when he was around but his opoonents always speak highly of him. Eubank aslo underated himself a bit in his time. He gave everyone a hard fight though. And it would be no differnet if he had fought RJJ, or James Toeny

            He was a massive betting favourite before both Watson fights, both Collins fights and the second Benn fight. So nah, he wasn't under-estimated. He said he'd school each of Benn, Watson and Collins easily so he didn't under-estimate himself, either.

              Collins took care of Benn and Eubank while still in their 20s' Nuff said, Joe and Kessler would both beat Collins...end of story
