Wasted Talent/Underachieving

[JUYJUY]

Okay. You seem to give Nunn props for his performances against lesser opponents, but you tear Jones apart for his performances against lesser opponents.

Nunn looked better to me

against "bums" it goes:
1. Nunn
2. Eubank
3. Jones

Eubank looked very, very, very slick in the late 80's.

So out of those three Nunn was the best at beating bums, then comes Eubank, then comes Jones?

They looked the best at beating 'bums' in that order.. although Jones did look very good beating 'bums', but Nunn and Eubank looked even slicker.

How do we exactly know the talent level or bum level of some of these bums?

You are supposed to knock bums silly, which Roy did.

Outslicking a "bum" is nothing to write home about.


Roy showed the gap between he & the bums as quickly as he closed it.

Roy annihilated guys line Glenn Wolfe & Percy Harris (not bums)...both of whom had hung tough with Toney (Wolfe) & LaMar Parks (Harris)....in more impressive fashion than Nunn handled lesser fighters.

One of my favourite Eubank fights was Denys Cronin in Cardiff, Cronin was a brave, tough cookie and coming forward non-stop with body shots that Eubank didn't like (he was kind of like the first fighter to even cause Eubank problems, although Eubank was still out-classing the guy by backing off or side-stepping while peppering him with counters a lot).
Enter round three, Eubank backs off to the ropes and BOUNCES off the ropes to launch him into a kind of jumping uppercut ****** and blood is gushing out of Cronin's nose before he hits the canvas.

I agree with ur choices apart from nunn only becos i havent seen ne nunn fight apart from against JT on JTs career set. ive looked on the net and nobody seems to be selling Nunns career set or ne Nunn fights.

Eubank had so much going for him ur right, damn Banks was so slick and boy he could he punch back then, and man was he was awkward,

the Prince i thought could never lose but forgive me becos i was only young at the time.

im off to get some *****

I remember that left hook to the body on Wolfe, great shot. I think the left hook to the body was probably Jones' best punch but he soon stopped using it because he didn't want to risk his dodgy chin being caught.

RJjnr .. could of been involved in great wars with the likes of Benn, Eubank, Gman, Dariusz .. but chose to defend titles against mediocre opposition compared to those I just mentioned .. really is a shame with RJ I would of loved to of seen him in their with those cats especially Benn!

Jones is the most over-rated fighter ever and a good businessman, so I think he did quite well for himself.
