    Draw with Ray Close and arguably lost the rematch.

    Once in a lifetime stuff!!

    Eubanks fights speak for themselves. Couldn’t convincingly beat sub par opponents.

    Facts.

        It’s hilarious because you don’t see the overwhelming irony.

        I am talking facts. We are talking about a guy who could barely beat Ray Close in two attempts very arguably lost both times.

        “Once in a lifetime”

        He’s not even Hall Of Fame calibur.

          They aren't facts though are they. He won these fights - those are the facts. His record was 43-0-2 going into the Collins fight, his 20th world title fight in exactly four years and four months - that's never been done. Ever.

            It seems people are still blinded by envy to this day towards the guy. Get over it.

              The WBO wasn’t exactly legit back then though bro.

              I think Eubank gets overrated by us Brits and underrated by the yanks.

              I’d say he was a good fighter but not a great fighter. By his own admission he never wanted to be the best, he just wanted to be one of the best. I put him in a similar category to Froch in the sense that he was always one of the best at the weight but was never the best at the weight.

              I think Eubank’s impact outside of the ring largely overshadows what he accomplished inside the ring.

                WBO was one of the four sanctioning bodies. They're all the same.

                  Well exactly, just being one of the best along with Roy Jones etc is not average by any stretch! Just crazy silly talk, obviously trolling with nothing better to do

                    Calling Eubank good and not great after all he did is disgusting disrespect to the man. Just the Watson rematch alone makes him truly great - it takes a VERY special fighter to do what he did. In fact it's not been seen in another fight.

                      Forget all this 'struggling with Ray Close' crap. Nobody cares. He already proved himself.
