    Good to see that RJJ never fought Eubank

    If I was a RJJ I would be very pleased since if he had won the fight he would have GOT NO CREDIT ATT ALL EVEN IF HE WON BY KO.

    Let’s use Hatton – Mayweather for example. Hatton was undefeated and won a title at WW before the Mayweather fight against a good boxer. Hatton moved up 7 pounds and he lost. Till Today he gets no credit beating him.

    While Eubank didn’t win a title at 175 before wanting to fight RJJ. Had RJJ won like Mayweather done they would just say that Eubanks best was at 168 and never was good at LHW.

    Only british people tend to rate Eubank or Benn. Rjj would have not got a huge amount of credit. Calzaghe dosn't really seem to get alot either.

      That really is the most irritating thing about when people bring **** up from the past...

      If Mayweather beats Casamayor at 130, what does that prove? He beat a guy who would have lost twice in a very short period of time... right?

      But still, people claim that he ducked him.

      Here's the one that has been irritating me more than anything. If Dawson doesn't fight Diaconu, he is ducking. If he does and wins, it will be against a guy who hasn't fought anyone. If he does and loses, his run is gone, and he will be bashed for losing to a guy who hadn't fought anyone.

      People should really stop overusing terms like duck, because they just make things so much less serious when there really is a situation of ducking.

        The answer to that is time.

        In 20 years time, people will either look back at Diaconu as an ATG, great, very good, B level, or whatever.

        It doesn't really matter what idiots on the internet say, because the results that boxers have achieved or will achieve is the main way in which we judge them.

        I do disagree with Flawless' point though. He doesn't seem to understand...anything.

          What is the point of fighting someone when they make a excuse about weight when they lose knowing they had to move up

            I mean Eubank would have just lost a comfortable UD and posed his arse off. We all know how that would go.

            Unless Jones hurt Eubank then he would be playing with fire and might actually get layed out.

            Eubank hit far harder than his record suggests imo.

              Since when does Mayweather not get any credit for beating Hatton, he gets (rightly) tons of credit for beating Hatton from people who have a clue about the sport.

                The loser always makes excuses. It's meaningless.

                  There is absolutely no chance Jones would Ko Eubank


                  Eubank had a chin made of IRON

                    He really did im not just saying that its the truth ive seen Eubank outboxed more than once and his power has changed the fight.

                    Benn could not hurt Watson or Collins Eubank had Collins on the canvas and we know what happened after he connected with THAT uppercut but.

                    Eubank put Benn away too something McClellan,Barkley,could not do
