    The best thing that could happen is Bernard rocking Eubank. Eubank backed into a corner and fighting on instinct was incredibly dangerous.
    Possibly the best fighting instaincts ever seen belong to Eubank and Nigel Benn. Both men were at their most dangerous picking themselves up off the floor. Benn even once claimed that he used to let people hit him to get angry, and although I dont believe this, looking at some of his fights, where he does nothing, and no blocking, it no longer appears as far fetyched as it sounds.

      Benn got lucky against Logan IMO

        I thought Eubank was clean, accurate, solid and varied with his punches, hunted him down and got him out of there when the time was right. It was a borderline brilliant performance, tbh. Stretch was about ****ing 6ft5 and a southpaw.

          a prime Bernard to me is him during the middleweight tournament...no one can't deny that...that Bernard would have tactically punished Eubanks, William Joppy style..

            Infact, it was brilliant!

              I don't think that Hopkins has the style to do much with Eubank.

                Hopkins would counter his head off!

                  Eubank is a BoxingScene legend, thanks to Juy.
