    According to Christopher himself, he was just trying to honour him and appear humble. Chris wouldn't lie, he's known for his integrity, isn't he.

    He also pulled Lennie aside after the talk with Jr, off-camera and told him the crack, though ultimately Jr did box didn't he

    They are five weights apart. Welters vs a cruiser. It's like putting Kalambay in with Tyson.

    Eubank blows away Robinson and Leonard?? Pigs might fly.

    Put Virgil Hill in with Frank Bruno. It's simply not fair.

    I sense you don't like Eubank much ?

    Eubanks subtle head slips were the best we've seen, almost all nice long jabs (Watson, Rocky, Malinga etc) would brush his ear and he'd even raise an eyebrow as it skimmed past. Extremely skilful. That's a huge issue for Monzon, realistically, as he relied on his range being found.

    Briscoe would beat the **** outta Eubank, he's like a harder hitting, tougher, better conditioned Benn.

    Briscoe couldn't hit like Benn in a million years.

    His fans annoy me more than he does.

    He's put in far too many matchups with all time greats, where he doesn't belong.

    He belongs in mythical matchups with Jermain Taylor, Kelly Pavlik level guys, not friggin a top 20 all time P4P great like Monzon.

    Well even if I give you Briscoe, Valdez was a bigger puncher than Benn.

    He doesn't have any fans. But history will rightly be very kind to him in 50-100 years.

    I can't put anyone over Benn in terms of brute force at the original 160lb. I saw it up close. It was like nothing.

    This post leads me to believe you're Eubank's cousin or something.
