Chris Eubank Sr pours into Roy Jones Jr!

[Earl-Hickey]

this could be eubanks first comeback fight.



roy v eubank fighting on the undercard of his son

I'd probably favour Eubank the way Roy's going.

[SN!PER]

I want to know Eubank's opinion about Hopkins.

eubank wanted no part of roy jones. from his own book:


"Lets use Roy Jones as an example. When people asked me why i wouldnt fight him, I would say to them, `Never mind the title or my job, a fight like that could take five or six years off my life.` I was well aware of that. He was, pound-for-pound, arguably the best fighter on the planet; in regards to his style, his devastating punching ability, the whole repertoire, he had it.

The rule is that if you are champion of the world for one body, you cannot be the No. 1 contender for another belt. Unless someone was officially the recognised No. 1 contender, i had no professional obligation to face them. With Roy Jones, he was fortunately (and i use that word with the utmost respect) never No. 1 contender. Had he been, I would not have dodged. I would have taken the fight. Would have i have won the fight? Highly unlikely. What would have been for sure was that he would have come away from the fight and got hurt, and i would have been hurt probably far more than he was. It would of been a war. Technically we would have been well-matched, so our pure grit would have started to come into play. I believe we both had powerful wills, so I feel that fight would have ended up running on pure instinct. That can be an exceptionally violent occurrence. Interestingly, i was told that Roy Jones was rumoured to have said that the only fighter he had reservations about facing was me. I don't remember any of my critics saying much about that."

Eubank is fortunate he never met either Toney or mcCallum.
Either would have put a beating on him. With his style, Roy Jones would have gotten a mid fight KO.

if roy and eubank fough in their primes, eubank would have been beaten very very badly. so would nigel benn, calzaghe, and basically anyone in or around that weight class...

yeah right. why did they all duck eubank then? we all know eubank had devastating power and a very good chin. roy jones wanted no part of eubank and no part of any decent fighter.

[ironmike2012]

Let him and Roy fight now, atleast it would be a fair fight.

Chris Eubank ****** and continues to suck.

True, he ******, but he was elite when using British standards which are generally 2-3 levels beneath US boxing.
Toney or Jones would have wreaked Eubank. I always saw Eubank as a top-end B level fighter. Same as Calzaghe, Hatton, and a whole gaggle of British fighters.
