        I mean that, as much as I loved Eubank during his career, you horribly over-rate him, to the detriment of his credibility on these forums.

            Considering Eubank himself rates himself as 'sterling', doesn't that tell you something? And this is Eubank, ofcourse, not you're typical... A man of intelligence and honesty.

            I do like textbook technical skill, and I do understand the British inferiority complex, and negative subjectivity. But I like to watch an artist at work, too, and in that department Eubank was quite simply the best.

                  I'm baffled. And how good do I make him out to be? He wasn't exactly the most fluid of movers, and had awful balance on the front foot. But he was Eubank, awesome awesome ability as well.

                      No offence Sneakers but I think you're really weird. You say you are a Calzaghe fan yet you give him no credit at all and you are madly in love with Eubank and Froch.
