    I agree; after that fight he always looked reluctant to finish fighters off when he had them ready to go. It was infuriating to watch but you can't really blame him.

    I would pick all three to beat him but he wouldnt be an easy fight for any of them.

    Good honest stuff from Eubank as usual. Think he would of struggled against Jones but on his day he would've given him at least some problems. Thing was he had as many off days as on.

    Big Eubank fan but he would have lost to Jones and Toney. Eubank looked very good if you came to him but he was a pure counter puncher he often looked poor when faced with cagey boxers like Close, Rocchigiani and Watson.

    I thought he looked brilliant against Watson and Rocchi - beautiful.

    Yeah the rocchi fight was possibly his best and he wasnt exactly **** against Watson, a top fighter himself

    Such a shame he didnt fight the biggest names in his prime except Benn. He was right up there with them. What was were posters saying about Euro/British fighters having glass chins? lol.

    I think Eubanks would have given Toney a tough fight.
    Benn, on the other side, would have been tailor made for Toney. A halfways in shape Toney would have KOed Benn.

    Eubanks is also right in that Nunn is vulnerable to body punches.

    The 90s were without a doubt the greatest decade in the supermiddleweight division in terms of talent, but dissapointing because (with the exception of Benn-McClellan), none of the british greats faced the american greats.
    Benn, Toney, Jones, Eubank, Collins, Nunn, Barkley... awesome talent.
