    Bare in mind Eubank's autobiog was released in 2003, before Jones Jr's chin was exposed.

      Agreed, hindsight is wonderful though, what I will add is Eubank had a great chin by comparison so I see what your getting at JJ.

        Even though I'm a RJJ fan, I don't think he could have beat Eubank when he was on top.. Eubank was too technical and smart for RJJ, RJJ relied on his athleticism, and Eubank was definately an athletic person, His power was undeniable, if any of you've seen some of his first round knockouts you'd understand what I'm talking about, if you think some of RJJ's KO's are impressive, just watch this cats KO's.

            Hmmmmm

            Eubank had THEE granite jaw, so wot ur saying is quite ridiculous (as powerful as RJJ was at middle & super middle),

            "no problem" with Eubank?? Dude, do u even know what skin colour Eubank had ? i think most people agree that there was nobody who would of caused RJJ more probs than Eubank & even RJJ said so himself, even JAMES TONEY of all people admitted in 1993 that Eubank would be the most difficult opponent for him becos he'd be so difficult 2 figure out

              yeah "exposed" at 35 against a big 175er (and by ****load of punishment by johnson, punishment which jones was taking, pretty much without answering). how is it that tarver landed punches in the 1st fight and jones' chin was still there, how is it that ruiz landed on jones and the chin was still there?

              ...
              Eubank is a former 160 fighter, so yeah keep on fantasizing

              that being said I think it would have been a great fight, and the people who think Jones would have KOed Eubank easily are off the mark, too

                  Also in december 1994 RJJ was quoted as saying "the only fighter who can give me a challenge is Chris Eubank"
                  roy would NEVER say that

                    that was an incredible punch by tarver. roy took some shots in his career, and his chin was decent. prime roy vs prime eubank wouild go something like rjj vs toney imo
