    I know the triangle theory doesnt work, but you have to admit it puts it in perspective. and Toney at 168 was better than him at 160.
    Michael Watson wasn't ready for McCallum. He needed more experience.

    Saying that Michael Watson beat Nigel Benn, but i would back Benn to beat Toney. A lot of the top yank fighters around 160-175 dodged Benn.

      He wasn't going to cry but he was obviously effected but he was used to trash talk from both Benn fights. Eubank would have had no problem fighting Toney he is never a man to carry his emotion with him into the ring.

          Ive heard that Watson had an off night when he fought McCallum, but he didnt look all that different to me than in the Eubank fight.

          You really think Benn wouldve beaten Toney? that seems like the worst style matchup ever for Benn. Always liked the guy, but his style wouldnt really have worked that well on Toney.

                Prime example of the kinda people who are impressed by such distasteful trash. Also notice, most of these cretins use ****sexual terminology like "suck on that".

                Nah mate, trying to suck on yours would be like throwing a baked bean into the grand canyon.

                      I think that a lot of those voting 'yes' are not familiar with Eubank's behaviour. That's not to say that they are wrong, but certain things make me think that he was simply 'staying in character'. He often spoke about how he disliked many elements of boxing and how he considered it barbaric. He liked to portray himself as a gentleman in a sport of thugs.

                      Eubank was very good at manipulating a situation, however. For example in the fight that they were promoting, Eubank had Benn on the ropes and managed to push him out onto the apron whilst making it look accidental. Later in the fight he 'accidentally' kicked Benn in the back of the head (yes you read that right, Sam Peter eat your heart out) and then when Benn got up, he held his hand out to touch gloves. When Benn went to touch gloves, Eubank tried to catch him flush with a power punch.

                      In the build-up to Eubank-Collins I, when Eubank claimed that he was scared for his health because of Collins using hypnosis to prepare for the fight. He didn't say this at a press conference when being insulted, he said it in a pre-arranged interview, which he had time to prepare for. Many see that as Eubank losing the mind games, but I'm unsure if it really had any affect on the fight at all.

                      There was also the Carl Thompson build-up, when Carl Thompson said in an interview afterwards that Eubank had privately tried to persuade him to engage in a public war of words in order to hype the fight.

                      Eubank spent some of his time provoking controversy, and the rest of his time acting as if he was above it all.

                      Some other videos where Eubank didn't seem comfortable with comments made:

                      In this one, Brendad Ingle acts like a ****, which isn't surprising because that's what he is. Eubank reacts in a similar way in this video that he did to James Toney IMO.
