Prime Eubank vs Ward?

Two weight world champion

The fact you actually said that makes everything else you say void.

 

I've been saying this for years. People love to ignore that fact.

The End

 

Correct me if im wrong but held the he held the wbo middle weight and super middle weight titles, you pathetic worm, nobody said Eubank was shot it was that he wasn't ruthless anymore, he didn't want to ko opponents so he stayed back when he had Collins hurt.

Still waiting for a reply as to what you have done in your life that has surpassed Eubanks achievements?

 

Holding the WBO title during the 90s was the equivalent of holding the WBU title during the 00s - it was completely and totally worthless. It was seen as a sorry joke by fighters, fans, big promoters and everyone else who didn't hold it. The fact that he was openly too cowardly to chase a honour more meaningful in the boxing fraternity only intensifies his quantity of fail.

 

His ugly mug makes me want to throw up. Seriously, other than his sons he may be the ugliest ****er I have ever seen. And don't get me started on Karron.

 

This f-in ledge was even talking of taking in turns defending both the middleweight and super-middleweight titles.

"When he gets rid of Michael, Chris wants Benn, Barkley, Julian 'The Hawk' Jackson and then Nunn four weeks after the other, one at middle over here and one at super-middle in the States, one at middle this side and one at super-middle that side, and to hold three world titles before the end of the year." -B.Hearn, Aug '91

"Mike McCallum and Herol Graham bring nothing to the table. Chris believes Herol needs to win a world title of his own first and that McCallum simply isn't explosive enough to bring enough returns at the box office." -B.Hearn

 

Who gives a **** ? How about getting a life ?

 

It may be worthless like it is today but people who hold the belt like cleverly are still called champs even Pacquiao held the welterweight strap. Basically you just want to discredit Eubank and that's fine if you don't like him but you cannot call him a failure.

 

The fighters make the belts, the fact of the matter is the WBO belt of the 90% was held by great fighters. Joe Calzaghe for along time was considered the best super middleweight and he was the WBO champion before he unified..? and beat up the fall with the so called WBC and WBA champions, Lacy and Kessler. James Toney was IBF middleweight Champion, and made that belt! The fighters make the belts, the belts don't make the fighters.

All belts do is collect dust, the fighters make the belts.

People are brained washed by the name of the belt! It means nothing.

 

In a hypothetical prime vs prime fight Ward would never try to punch it out simply because he'd know he'd never have the power or durability to mix it up with Eubank, so instead what you'd see if Ward fighting on the back-foot, looking to dominate with his jab and resorting to rough-tactics and clinches in close-quarters. In response Eubank would throw his jab out every now and then between poses and look for an opening before coming forward with the odd flurry towards the end of the rounds in an attempt to catch the judges eye. If the fight went the distance then I would expect Ward to win by UD but Prime-Eubank was perfectly capable of catching Ward and putting him on his ass, and Ward's jaw is suspect so if Eubank catches him clean enough then there's a good chance of Ward getting knocked out.

 

Alrigt, why are people talking like Eubank had any power whatsoever, let alone o e punch power? Stop making up mythical attributes, it makes you look like idiots.

 

SOB Ward will only fight in his home town with his personal referee and judges. Eubank or anyone is a fool to fight that cheat in his home town. SOB is the only boxer who did not have to travel. He beat Kessler by intentional, illegal head butt that came from across the ring and his referee said it was OK, yeah, as long as Ward was the one doing the headbutting. Watch that fight and see.

I know you hate Eubank and do your best to discredit him in whatever thread that mentions him you post in but give the man some credit; he had the power to wear down Benn in an all out war and to stop Waston, who had only ever been stopped before by McCallum, with only a few punches after being dominated for most of the fight.

If Eubank had no power whatsoever then he would not have been able to hang with Benn or Watson - two of the hardest punchers around, and both proven to have high levels of durability - let alone beat them, he wouldn't have been able to hurt Wharton or Rocchigiani, and he wouldn't have had Close or Thompson or Collins hurt and on the verge being KO'ed only to let them off.

Your mistake in this instance is reading "Eubank is capable of knocking down Ward or knocking him out if he catches him clean enough" as "Eubank was the hardest puncher who ever lived." which is something I never said nor something I was trying to imply.

I said Eubank is capable of hurting Ward, that he has enough power to hypothetically knock out a fighter who was once put on his ass by Darnell Boone and who's chin has never really been tested by anyone with similar proven power to Eubank's.

 

Is Eubank not the man who paralysed a man with one punch?

Also, try telling Johnny Melfah that Eubank had no power. A single short right hand shattered his jaw into more than half-a-dozen pieces and left him in intensive care.

And check out one of the right uppercuts in his last ever fight against Thompson in Sheffield, he lifts heavyweight-on-the-night Carl T clean off his feet with it.
