And Nigel Benn's not a great fighter? Each to their own I guess.

Eubank said in Jan '90 that the only two fighters on the planet he wasn't willing to fight were Herol Graham and Michael Nunn.
As for the supposed weakness to body shots, Eubank reversed it and said if Benn hit "anyone else with any one of those body shots they'd of been down and out, most probably".

As for McCallum trying to swarm Eubank and out-hussle him, I just don't think he was a natural pressure fighter and it would of been playing with fire.Last edited by GEOFFHAYES; 10-04-2006, 02:07 PM.

You can't fight Eubank at a slow pace and you can't stand with him, he was in a league of his own at mid-range, you see his range of skills in his earlier fights. It was only killing himself to make weight that made him look appalling after the Benn fight, until he had his weight monitored for the first time ever for the Wharton fight and put on his best performance. If Eubank moved up to light-heavy, I don't think they'd of lived with him.
