Eubank looking awful in America!

[General Zod]

Tony Thornton. Toney soon after completely mastered him (TT), Roy Jones knocked him out too.

I havent seen much of Thornton, in your opinion was he any good?

[coghaugen]

Well, Giminez did KD Duran in a cracker in the heat and went 12 against Benn!

Essett boxed uninterested against Eubank but had very good pedigree going in and had reputation as a very very good chess-playing boxer (we didn't see this evidence mind you! ..Eubank also boxed **** that evening in the heat).

Very good. He was robbed against Steve Collins. He had a very very good right hand that scored him a lot of KD's/KO's, but his right hand was always suspect to break. He held his own against lb4lb king Toney, and against lb4lb king Jones he had come out of a retirement and his shoulder went when against the ropes but he still managed to miss being hit clean by almost all of the 40-punch flurry Jones let off...

Good tight defense, closed the distance down and let off sneaky rights. Solid chin. Good technician.

[Kilrain]

What fights do you have in mind? I remember thinking he should of lost Benn II and Watson I. On the other side I think he should of won Thompson I

Beat me to it! Couldn't have said it better. He wasn't a spectacular fighter, but a good tactician, very durable, I think that Thornton-Eubank fight was in Glasgow, it was a poor decision.

Eubank would of easily beaten a prime Roy Jones.

I wouldnt go that fight but out of all the smw of that time I think Eubank, Nunn and Liles woild of given Jones a hard time

[daggum]

Well Put. He prob never even saw Eubank fight

i'm sorry i have insulted your hero. who's more reasonable here. the guy who thinks juan carlos giminez ferrari is a good fighter or me? i guess in the uk the 0-5 canty wouldn't be a below average fighter but probably a national champion.

Not sure about Liles giving Jones a hard time.

He gave him a hard time in the amateurs and Jones always had problems with Southpaws as well.
