    Well, he went on to lose to Carl Thompson twice at Crusierweight so he must have been still good.

      yeah he knocked out 2 bums after being dominated by collins in the rematch. he was still great. that proves it.

        he was robbed in the first thompson fight. he was winning the second fight but his eye was bad. he was also robbed in the collins fight.

          I had heard about this interview, but I always thought it was made up. What fighter in their right mind would admit to such a thing?
          floyd has for the last 6 years.

            Remember? Or is that excuse only good for certain fighters?

              if it makes money it makes sense! unless it makes too much money then it's senseless to fight! the great floyd mayweather at work.

                You do with some fans. I swear they would rather have their favorite fighter avoid challenges then take the risks and actually lose. That way their ideology is intact and they feel better.

                  eubank is somewhere in the top 50 atg
                  Slightly past prime huh? Do you really believe that? I mean come on dude. I know people will say crazy things but come on. That's like saying Toney is slightly overweight or Calzaghe only defended against guys slightly out of the top ten.

                  That's like saying Manfredo only slightly came close to dying from that whirlwind of punches.

                  Or saying Calzaghe only slightly destroyed what would of been Tocker Pudwells HOF career.
