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.
