American boxer Roy Jones Jr. has admitted that he was inspired to jump two weight divisions from Light Heavyweight to Heavyweight after seeing the ammount of respect that Eubank gained in Britain after jumping two weight divisions from Super Middleweight to Cruiserweight at the end of his career. Also, Eubank had advised Jones not to fight Antonio Tarver because he'd have to lose around 20 lb (9 kg) bodyweight in order to compete in the Light Heavyweight division again, Eubank himself had to lose around 20 lb (9 kg) bodyweight in a short space of time to fight Joe Calzaghe at the end of his career and so knew how badly it had affected his performance. Jones didn't take Eubank's advice and ended up losing to Tarver.

LOL...took the words right out of my mouth. I'm surprised he hasn't posted this before, it is free info after all. I wonder if it's true or just made up. Not sure how reliable wikipedia is.

"Eubank had pairs of colored socks?"

JuyJuy:

"Your damn right he did, and the great thing about it was the way he strutted them around. Not only were they stylish and multicolored, but he had at least ten pairs."
