Chris Eubank: I was better than Roy Jones Jnr!

atberry, I admire your liking for Eubank.. I am a huge Jones fan, but realize Eubank was unique and had great ability...

But I have read posts of you pretty much dismissing anything Roy has done...
I would take you more seriously, if you gave Roy more credit... He did beat 2 of the biggest names of his generation...

Eubank himself has talked about how great Roy was...

Its hard for me not to like Eubank when I watch his fights... Wish you could say the same about Roy.. he was fun to watch...

 

Would have been fun to see Eubank react to the leaping left.... Can you imagine the look on his face when Roy first threw it?? Eubank had some of my favorite facial expressions of any fighter.:yep

 

Truly elite fighters don't get outboxed by nobodys like Dan Schommer fool. I don't hate Eubank by the way.

 

I'm a big eubank fan. He was a great fighter and gives anybody a hard fight. Met him in Brighton years back. Nice fella. Have to say though, Think rjj nicks it on points. I respect both men for the fighters they were, as I respect any man with the balls to step into the ring no matter what his level of ability

 

Schommer was a horrible, part time pro who was probably past his physical prime by the time he completed outboxed Eubank with only one week's training camp. There is absolutely no way that he would win more than 30% of rounds against any version of Toney, apart from maybe the one that fought Tiberi.

I will actually echo you on one point, as an amateur he did have the big wins you mention. Certainly against Virgil Hill, not sure about the other two. Whatever talent he had as an amateur, he couldn't parlay that into winning any major meets.

 

Schommer was nothing but a journeyman who probably worked as a taxi driver or something during the day. His only half decent win before he fought Eubank was over the once half decent title challenger Nicky Walker. Eubank completley embarrassed himself that night.

 

Schommer worked in a office job full time before Eubank contacted him. He had, had only had 2 fights in the previous 3 years. I would class Schommer as around club fighter level.

 

This post is worse that your Eubank-Watson I scorecard

That version of Toney does not lose to clubfighters, like Schommer, or limited fighters like Collins

ps: toney was not weight drained

 

Stockbroker, actually.

Schommer was a well-educated, broadly middle-class bloke whose yearly income from his day job far exceeded anything he earned in the ring.

 

Lindell Holmes would knock Michael Nunn out? Which Lindell Holmes are you refering to, the one that got KTFO by the legendary Irving Hines and Dwight Davison? I hope your not implying Nunn was scared of Holmes? What, the Nunn that fought some of the best in his division such as James Toney, Marlon Starling, Sumbu Kalambay, Iran Barkley etc, the one that challenged the winner of Benn Eubank 2? If he didn't want to fight Holmes it's more likely because he had bigger and better fights in the pipeline.
