I agree 100% & MM had a good chin at LHW too. Eubanks wasn't strong enough to keep MM off him. He'd eventually catch up to him. -
Eubank was actually fighting at LHW at the same time Moorer was the LHW WBO champ, he had a few fights at LHW before dropping back down to lighter weights, and you know around this time Eubank was always getting the better of Dennis Andries(WBC LHW champ at the time) in sparring sessions. Yes Eubank would of beat him as a pro, because Eubank always starved himself to stay below LHW, so if he wasn't starving himself he'd be even better than he was.Originally posted by TheGreat1do u think he would have beaten him as a PRO?Last edited by JUYJUY; 07-11-2005, 06:35 PM.Comment

So you are telling me that Because he had an eating disorder he would be favored to beat MM who won every one of his LHW fights by KO.Originally posted by JUYJUYEubank was actually fighting at LHW at the same time Moorer was the LHW WBO champ, he had a few fights at LHW before dropping back down to lighter weights, and you know around this time Eubank was always getting the better of Dennis Andries(WBC LHW champ at the time) in sparring sessions.

He didn't have an eating disorder dude, he had to make the weight. Eubank's chin is ridiculous so Moorer's no KOing him. As you know Dennis Andries and Moorer sparred a lot at the Kronk and it was so competitive that Manny knew they shouldn't fight the real deal in the arena because he feared one of them or both of them may of come out of it seriously hurt, and around the same time Eubank was easily beating Andries in sparring sessions when Andries was in London (whereas Moorer was getting beat up by Andries).Originally posted by TheGreat1So you are telling me that Because he had an eating disorder he would be favored to beat MM who won every one of his LHW fights by KO.Last edited by JUYJUY; 07-11-2005, 08:19 PM.Comment

alright, I never knew this, It sounds like it could have been a pretty good fight though. Moorer was tough as nails, the guys that beat him where Hall of Famers Holy/foreman. by the time he fought Tua he was done, and Tua is one of the hardest hitters of all time so can't really take anything away from Moorer there. I'm sure Eubanks has a great chin, but so does Jirov, and alot of other HW's MM put down.Originally posted by JUYJUYHe didn't have an eating disorder dude, he had to make the weight.
