    Yeah unlike you, I change my avatar and have more than 1 pic.

    Benn bashed up Americans on American soil, if the American public were too ignorant to see the class Eubank and Benn had, thats too bad, you didn't see Hopkisn travelling around, so he wasn't doing it on a world stage, he was domestic too.

    Prime Eubank... if you don't think he has the work rate or footwork, maybe watch Benn V Eubank 1.

    I swear people think prime Eubank was teh one that coasted to decisions and ddin't have the killer instinct.:patsch

    Hey Anglo Saxon please change your queerish avatar:roll: Eubank is competetive at first but a young Hopkins wasnt as laid back as now and when he decided to pick it up to another level he would beat up on eubank I see this as a unanamous dec ffor Hopkins 116-112 117-111 116-112

    His hand positioning leaves him wide open for jabs and straight rights, and, as we all know, Huggy Bear is the master of the lead right. He also tends to jump in with a lot of his punches. Only if your fundamentals are superb or you're very fast can you avoid Popkins pot-shotting his way to a decision.

    Eubank was very good, probably not quite as good as B hop though technique-wise, but Eubank hit much harder than Hopkins ever has, it would of been a great scrap. Could of gone either way.

    Changed my mind! It would of been a boring win for B Hop shutting Eubank out or Eubank bangs Hopkins out sometime early.

    Hopkins would beat the most overrated fighter on ESB by very clear UD.

    tbf he did beat prime benn, something that mcllelan and barkley couldn't do. theres no doubt in my mind that prime eubank gives hopkins plenty of problems.
