    Chris Eubank is NOT a legend. But he's light years ahead of Carlos Baldomir, one of the worst beltholders in recent years.

      Why not man?

      Eubank had serious skills in his prime, im not saying he is Roy Jones, James Toney class, but imagine him at 160-168 today. He would cause Havoc in and around that division.

          i don't think anyone from 160-168 today could beat a prime eubank today.

            Many do consider him a legend (not of the ATG status, but a boxing legend nonetheless) for not only his fighting skills but also his personality inside and out.

              Ermm, there are a few fighters that might give him trouble, Taylor is a good mover and the jab would be an issue for eubank. Eubank had this bad habit of crouching really low, not sure how that would work against taylor jabs and rights. But he'd certainly be up there especially at 160 imo.

                Tech, of course he would - look at the division. I reserve the word legend for...legends. Eubank in his prime was a pretty good fighter. Legend? I don't think so.

                  Nah, Taylor is way too straight up and back. He would get caught over and over by Eubank (and especially that right of his) to the point he might either get stopped (pre Watson) or just out-pointed (post Watson). Good fight though.

                    If Taylor could beat Hopkins twice. I see no problem him of disposing of Eubank
