    Chris Eubank never actually touched down at light heavy, after losing to Calzaghe, he stepped up to cruiserweight and put up a great battle, winning in some eyes against Carl Thompson.
    But IF, he had decided to go at a title in lighthvy and challenged either
    Lou Del Valle or William Guthrie, two hardly stellar names.. Does Eubank become a three weight champ?

    He would've had a fair chance IMO.

    Del Valle was quite awkward for Jones and floored him so he`d probably have too much for Sr.

    Del Valle is probably Jones most underrated win. Here he is getting robbed against Hill. I think I'd pick him over Eubanks.

    I'd pick Eubank over Guthrie but not Reggie J

    I belive he probably would to. Even tho his best years behind him, he was a big built guy, I can see him at lght heavy perhaps beating one of the lesser champs. But he ain't having a long reign.

    He was #1 ranked mandatory for a Dariusz M fight but took the Thompson fight instead.

    Don't think he would've beaten Tiger either.
