      That'd be the rose-tinted glasses making it hard for you most likely.

          Eubank was a good champ you do have to be good to beat Benn but he never proved he was on Hopkins level, In his prime he was being outworked by Watson until getting that punch in. I think a prime Eubank would have done better against Joe but Imo Joe would still win.

            It took him 44-46 fights to lose, and even then his punches were clearly of a much higher quality than Collins's - was only beaten on workrate... and he'd made significantly more money than any boxer since 1990, so must have been doing something right

            he was picking his oponents right thats for sure ,except for Collins ,Schommer or coarse when Eubank got handed a lesson in Boxing

            Collins did'nt just outwork Eubank at all he was counter puching him very effectively aswell
            He was hand-picking his opponents, but he still had to beat them. You'd be knocked out cold in under 20 seconds by any of Eubank's hand-picked opponents.

            Schommer did beat him, but not according to the judges, who had a better view than us. And I don't believe any fights are fixed.

            Collins was letting Eubank lead with long, lazy singles/doubles and then jumping on him, basically. Collins was lunging in a lot, and scuffling. But for every punch Eubank threw, he found two back in his face.

              And what level is Hopkins on exactly? Where are the Watson's and Benn's on Hopkins's resume?

              Trinidad and Hoya were blown-up welters. And Keith Holmes is hardly Lindell Holmes.

                Malinga was OK man, he was a pretty strong guy. He got a split decision against Benn once and lost to him in their other fight. But overall, Benn = quality!

                    Malinga wasn't very good. All he ever did was cup his hands by his chin, move back and throw a jab and the occasional right. Benn couldn't get past his long jab either time, and lost both fights clearly, though was being held up in the second fight because his balance was shot to **** (unhealed scar tissue on the brain from McClellan fight).

                      u are right i would nt have been able to hurt John Jarvis would i

                      we are not comparing him to me anyway we are comparing him to Elite fighters like Hopkins u jackass

                      Collins counter puched Eubank effectively & outhuscled him end of story get over it Collins beat him by effective countering aswell not just workrate get over it
