Best brit since 1980? ?

and he gave Joe the toughest fight of his career.

I don't think the Reid fight was half as tough as the Eubank fight.

Joe said he couldn't get out of bed the day after the Eubank fight due to bruises to the body and face, head pains and muscle ache. He was on pain killers.

Im sure the Reid fight was closer.
Joe definatly won the Eubank fight, no questions asked. Alot of people were surprised that Eubank had so much fight left. And impressed with Joe facing his first real test.

But Reid landing huge right hands all night.

Joe took more of a hammering from Eubank.

But the Reid was tough because he was fighting with a broken hand from the fourth round on.

Eubank still only won 3 or 4 rounds, Reid should've at least gotten a draw.

I gave Eubank two rounds, from memory. I think seven and 12. Joe got battered though (as did Eubank!), it was a close fight.

I think its close between Benn, Lewis and Joe C. . .i dont think Joe C is on Herol Bomber Graham's level but fact is his achieved more, Benn and Lewis achieved more than Joe but Joe has more talent than both. . . .

In terms of accomplishment, I don't think anyone touches Lewis.

You're gonna have a tough time making people believe an 8 point fight was close. Eubank landed some good shots, but Calzaghe was hardly "battered" and he won a very wide decision.

That's like agreeing with the 118-110 scorecard in Hagler/Leonard. I have yet to see anyone believe that.

it was a close fight.

Close fight my ass.

Joe was landing the right hook at will on Eubanks head. Chopping shots from different angles.

In terms of the scoring system it wasn't obviously. But every round was close.. mostly due to Eubank's ability to absorb, heart and long-lost determination.

Nobody expected Eubank to put up such a good fight, indeed people feared for his safety, especially after having to lose 20lbs in seven days, post-Watson he'd never shown that heart and drive again until the Calzaghe fight. It was much closer than expected, he made the wild boy dig deep, and was the first person to ever withstand Calzaghe's power of punch (Calzaghe did a Lacy on Eubank's cousin and chose to box his ass off instead of try to KO him because he was a slugging cruiserweight ie too dangerous).
