chris was not so close to prime......

he'd lost like 2 of his last 3-4 fights.

he hadn't even fought at 168 in years.

****! i think he was training for a cruiserweight fight when he got the short notice.

[Silencers]

fair enough

Did n't it make you feel like Eubank should just STFU and man up

Yeah, a few times.

Chris Eubank returned to boxing a year later, organising a two fight program to box where he would have defended his title in the Sky deal, beating Luis Barrera in Cairo, Egypt, and Camilo Alarcon in Dubai. He then signed a deal with Frank Warren to fight again on Sky.

Eubank again accepted a title fight at short notice again when Collins retired before facing Joe Calzaghe, 22-0 (21). Chris had returned to training for a challenge for the WBC intercontinental light-heavyweight title, with a view to a world title shot at that weight. Yet with his old title vacated, he accepted the offer to try to regain his old title, facing a young and fit Joe Calzaghe. After an exhausting two week weight draining regimen Eubank fought bravely in losing a 12 round decision.
