    King and Hearn set-up the Eubank-Benn II winner vs Nunn thing. And King prayed it would be Eubank, who he felt would've been a goldmine in the States.

    When they drew, which wasn't in the contract, King offered Nunn to Benn and Reggie Johnson to Eubank, on Showtime. Reason for Nunn to Benn being that Benn still had hold of the more prestigious belt. Eubank and Hearn told him to **** off. ****** stepped in in his place and took over Benn from Hearn.

    And one of the reasons Benn fell out with Hearn, was that Eubank cleverly out-smarted Benn, ****** and King by asking for £850,000 NET, whereas Benn asked for £1,000,000 GROSS - and in all press releases and meetings it was said by Hearn that Eubank would be earning 850K and Benn 1M based on Benn holding the more prestigious belt. Nothing was said of Eubank's being net and Benn's being gross. So Benn ended up taking home 600,000, to Eubank's 850,000; and didn't realise until the post-fight pressers when Eubank let it out!!

    Yes, because he knew he could win the fight.

    Rocchigiani was pretty much a journeyman compared to Jones Jr.

    Rocchigiani was 100x bigger in Germany than Jones was in America.

    And he had the bottle to fight the Eubanks, Michalczewskis and Nunns..........Jones didn't.

    He beat the **** out of Dariusz M.

    Eubank was and is full of ****.

    It was very good version of Eubank, close to his peak, that Collins beat in the first fight.

    Nothing genuine about saying Calzaghe was different class because he put up a credible performance against him at the end of his career.

    I take everything Eubank says with a pinch of salt. He was always a wanker.

    Jones and Toney would have ended the Eubank TV gravy train. Nunn also, probably.

    Eubank beat Collins in that first fight. Referee robbed him, and judging was harsh on him.

    He also had Collins there for the taking at the start of the 10th and stayed off him.

    According to sources that I have no reason to distrust, Eubank suffered from dodgy bowels and a severe B.O problem. In fact, apparently it wasn't just that infamous defence of Tyson regarding Desiree Washington on Sky that got him kicked out the studio. It was compounded by the fact that his pits were seriously stinking out the area.
