    Oh please, just board your spaceship and return to the planet Eubank.

    As i explained, prime Eubank gains 30 pounds and knocks out Joe Louis, then loses 60 pounds and disheartens Henry Armstrong.

    Willie Pep cannot resist the challenge, and they meet at a light welter catchweight; Eubank gives him a boxing lesson.

    Robinson wants a revanche, but alas, Chris punches him so hard Ray slips into a coma for 2 months and never fights again.

    I wonder what fight were watching those here who said Eubank badly hurt Joe.
    I've seen this fight twice, the last time about 3 years ago, and all i can remember is Joe giving Chris a boxing lesson for 12 rds, knocking him down twice and badly stunning him on many, many occasions close on the inside with uppercuts that turned Chris head in weird directions.

    I don't recall seeing him reeling or holding for dear life in the later rds at all.

    Lol Christ no. Eubank got spanked by half a dozen fighters during his reign. A badly out of shape portly businessman/part-time fighter named Dan Schommer took him to school only to get robbed blind by Eubank's judges. Eubank was the only decent fighter Schommer ever fought, although to be fair to him he did get a couple of gift decisions over Virgil Hill and Tim Littles in the amateurs though. Someone actually posted the Hill fight on a Russian site a while back and it was a real shocker.

    Seventeen fight novice Mauricio Amaral clearly beat Eubank too despite never having fought a single decent fighter. Check his record out it's absolutely abysmal like Schommer's.

    Ray Close tapped Eubank's ass too. In fact, most impartial observers believe Close deserved to win both of his fights against Eubank.

    Obviously Benn got robbed blind in their rematch too.

    A woefully flat and lethargic Graciano Rocchigiani who hadn't fought at SM for five years beat him in many people's eyes even though Rocchigiani literally gave away a lot of the early rounds by not throwing any punches. Rocchigiani was very big framed and huge for the weight and had even come in as high as 190lbs for one of those fights during that period. Getting down to 168 had obviously been a real struggle for him and that was abundantly clear for all to see during the fight. He was so tight during the early stages, he kept repeatedly shaking out his arms to try and imbue a semblance of life into them, which is a sure sign the weight making process had left him badly depleted. Rocky only fought at that weight once after that, drawing against Frederic Seillier - Seillier lost every time he fought beyond domestic level after their fight by the way, with the exception of a points victory over a shot Mauro Galvano. Rocchigiani was a completely different animal up at 175 however. A much, much better fighter at his natural weight. And he would've unquestionably beaten Eubank on a wide UD had he not had to drain that gargantuan 6'3 frame of his down to a weight he hadn't fought at in eons.

    That's just off the top of my head too. He'd also been the beneficiary of a couple more highly controversial decisions earlier on in his career as well. Many feel Sugar Boy Malinga and other fighter whose name escapes me for the time being deserved to get their hands raised when they fought him too. To be fair to Eubank many of those controversial decisions he didn't deserve to have go his way were close and very competitive. Schommer beat him clearly though. And also quite a few of those fights occurred during his infamous World Tour where he was fighting far too frequently and didn't get enough rest in between fights. I think he fought 10 times in the space of 18 months at one stage, and the Collins' rematch had been his 7th fight in 11 months and you could clearly see he was running on empty for that fight and his body (and mind for that matter) needed a good long rest.

    According to reports, Schommer outboxed Hill and Littles in '84-'85, both of whom were ranked #1 in the world shortly after.

    According to reports, Eubank's skin had actually turned grey by the time he weighed in for the Schommer fight in South Africa, having to lose 30lbs in three weeks at 6,000ft above sea level (thin air).

    Oh please! Apart from a right hand in round seven, Amaral didn't really land a punch. And Eubank sweeped the mid-to-late rounds easily after being merely outworked early on. Amaral went on to give Frankie Liles hell in every round.

    Only British IDIOTS who score fights based on mindless workrate alone would score those fights for Close. Anybody who scores on clean punching and effective defense scores those fights for Eubank by large chunks - especially the first Close/Eubank fight in Glasgow in which Eubank casually dominates him in 4th gear apart from the middle rounds he fought in 5th gear; it was Eubank who was robbed by it being scored a draw.

    Before the fight in Belfast, after weighing in, Eubank flew out to Indianapolis to visit Mike Tyson in prison! He came back with jetlag and it showed.

    Rocchigiani looked incredible against Hamsho at 168.

    Eubank completely dominated most of that fight!

    Then they need to be sectioned, as Eubank thoroughly out-jabbed Malinga in every minute of every round and you can count on the fingers of one hand how many right hands Eubank took from Malinga, who only had two punches in his arsenal. These are facts. Eubank beat Malinga comfortably in 4th gear and very difficult circumstances at the time.

    Keep spinning away. lol. Go sniff the back of the Monocled One's jodhpurs you creepy homo stalker fan boy

    I've actually seen the Hill fight and Schommer got a gift.

    Do you actually think anyone takes anything you say seriously on here? You're full of more spin than a children's playground roundabout. To be perfectly honest you're clearly ****ing clinically insane.

    I prefer to take officially qualified judges and experienced boxing correspondances opinions over a poster on boxingforum24. Schommer outboxed Hill.

    Berry, I really don't have to address any of your points. The delusional bull**** you spew is so far detached from reality it almost comes full circle and starts to make sense again. Eubank's #1 stalker fan says this is how it went down, meanwhile back on planet Earth, where reality is king, it's a completely different story. You keep believing what you want to believe if you want. Whatever floats your boat. But don't expect those of us outside the lunatic asylum to tow the line. I'm actually a huge Eubank fan, whereas you're just a sad little fan boy. The end.
