Re: Chris Eubank
Stamina? In the sense that he could go 12 despite being dangerously tight at his weight, maybe.
I thought he was very skilled in that he was an effective, efficient puncher. A very good releaser with very good eyes - that's speed and accuracy, fast from point A to B and co-ordinate. And the fact his gloves were close together and a foot below eye level made it hard for an opponent to determine what punch was coming.
Mike McCallum gives his fighters tapes of Chris and asks them to study the ring generalship - and believe me there were very few, if none, who mastered that better.
