Eubank: How I would've beaten a peak RJJ!

[coghaugen]

Benn certainly did enough to win the fight that night, it was that close. But fact is two of those particular judges who were live ringside didn't score it for him in the final tally. It could've gone either way by a point or two and so many of those rounds looked even! Benn's head and body movement that night was special.

Roy did not have a questionable chin in his prime. You would know that if you saw fighters at the end of their careers go down. And don't kid yourself, there is no way Watson compares with Toney and Hopkins...don't even fking kid yourself!!!!! You will be laughed at if others read this.

I don't see Toney or Hopkins dominating every minute of every round against Chris Eubank at his best - they'd be staring contests. That night Watson looked like a future all-time great and seemingly unbeatable.

No one said anything about dominating every minute of every round and the discussion had NOTHING to do with Toney and Hopkins fighting Eubank, it had to do with the absurd claim that Watson would beat Toney and Hopkins which anyone knows would not happen. Stay on topic.

Wrong! Eubank was not even 30 when he lost and drew in those fights. He was 27 and 29. And 26 when he barely beat Mulinga. Nice try. not.

Since when does age dictate when a fighter's prime is?

Eubank was never the same fighter after the Watson rematch.

Oh, let me guess, he was past his prime at 25, 26 and 27!!! Get the *** out of here!!!!

M. Watson dominated every minute of every round against Eubank in their second fight. THAT Watson would not lose against a guy (Toney) who was on drip in hospital to keep him alive after making weight (for Jones fight), or a guy who struggled with Gilbert Baptist and was punched out of the ring a few times by Mercardo.

There are many examples of fighters that were arguably past their primes at young ages. Mike Tyson, Naseem Hamed, Fernando Vargas.

Do you know what happened in the Watson rematch?

You just made a ****** comment. You are taking one fighter's BEST moment against Eubank and comparing it to another fighters worst moment against Mercado!!!! Do you realize how ****** that is???? I guarantee you that an OVERWHELMING majority pick Jones, Hopkins, and Toney over Eubank, Watson, and Benn. Not even worthy of a debate.

Again...isn't that what you did in your first post regarding Eubank?

So once again, you are saying that Eubank was past his prime from 25-27??!! I am not addressing OTHER fighter's prime I am talking to you about Eubank's prime! And if he was past his prime at 27 then he should not even be mentioned in the same breath as Jones or the same sentence.
