    What elite fighter did he beat then? He was very good but not elite.

    There's a reason Eubank, Collins and Benn talk about RJJ constantly even a DECADE later yet RJJ doesn't even know who they are. These guys ducked RJJ like the plague back in the day as they ducked James Toney.

    Haters are many,the true elite are few. The latter must suffer the sound of their haterade. A young RJJ wasn't on Eubanks level and he knows it.

    That's right he was above Eubanks level and Chirs even knows that.

    Lindell actually employed both Toney and Jones as sparring partners in 1990 and 1991. And Nunn avoided Holmes like the plague because he knew he'd be knocked out.

    Michael Watson looked unbeatable in their 2nd fight, forget 'elite'.

    Eubank is referring to Collins ducking Calzaghe and Jones ducking Nunn.

    Eubank struggled with guys like Schommer, Malinga, Close, Costa and Collins. I think we can safely say he was below Jones level:good
