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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Only the WBA and WBC counted so Roy Jones was never a champion at 160 and 168, just a contender.

I think Toney at his best was 'better' than Eubank (and better than Jones for that matter!), but stylistically Eubank is wrong for him.

Toney at his best was a class above Hopkins.

I'm looking more at who he beat rather than the letters before the title. So Eubank only won the WBO, that means he was only ever a "contender" lol wut

A contender for the TOP titles, yes! Beating a WBA or WBC fighter is what makes or made a fighter be recognized at the highest levels, the IBF partially so. WBO was and is one of the butt of all jokes made about alphabet titles!!

he was the holder of the IBF title 168 but was recognized as THE champ by Ring Magazine. It's the place a fighter has in work rankings across the consensus and Jones was recognized as the best and the IBF even had more respect than the WBO which was when the jokes started pouring in about ABC titles. Eubank was NOT ranked above Jones, that makes him a contender in the rankings across the board. Everything is a combination of titles and pound for pound rankings. So Eubank was not in his prime at 25-27?

Like I said, put up a poll and don't have your feelings hurt by the results. I'll check the poll in the morning when I am back online and that will end the discussion. Jones was better, he proved it, not arguable.

Here's me thinking it mattered WHO you beat and in what fashion that made you legit. But no, its all about what letters are before a title

Childish...

RJJ was in a completely different class than Eubank! It wouldn't have been close.

[Bull24]

Benn takes Jones with his power and aggression and Eubank edges Toney with his jab and movement.

Benn was made for Toney!

You can't be serious.

Peter Eubank or Simon Eubank?

Because CHRIS Eubank had about as much ability as pretty much anyone.
