    Once discussed this with a work mate.
    He believes any fighter born since 1960 beats anyone older!
    So in his opinion Eubank whips Randolph.

    Why 1960, specifically?

    Maybe he thinks that's the cut off date for old, no good fighters, and after that the great modern era starts.?!
    Basically he s dummy.

    Since 61, not 60.

    Turpin gets hurt against Eubank.

    I've begun to suspect that Turpin's widely recognized strength is what you get when you match weight-trained contenders against traditionally trained ones. A natural experiment of sorts. For 1950s middleweights, perhaps every modern contender would seem like Turpin. Abnormally strong.

    Good. Would be Intresting to see Turpin pit his strength against Eubank, who of course was no weed himself.

    It is not easy to say who win this, both were excellent fighters.Overall Turpin is greater than Eubank and my gut feeling is he would prevail on points

    Turpin at his best easy win with Eubank

    Turpin= 1st class, world class. real champion
    Eubank= British class & WBO 2nd class paper champion

    different level isn't it
