    Exactly, he didn't say it.

    A good read as always from Eubank.

    Legend.

    I never read anything in that article where he says he was better than Jones?

    chris didnt have a great amount of skill, but to call him average is not fair.

    maybe he wasnt that skilled gonig forward, but he was extremely tough, granite chinned, good defensively and could hit hard too. This made him quite exciting to watch, since he frequently let his opponent batter away at him until he spotted an opening and fired back hard when they slowed.


    Eubank was a very decent package, though its hard to see how that beats RJJ.

    ? Did we watch the same Eubank in action? You couldn't get close to the guy or ever lay a jab on him.

    He didn't say that in this interview. Typically, successful athletes have a lot of confidence. I'm sure that in his mind he thinks he was capable of competing against anybody in the world.
