    eubank took big shots from a good cruiser in carl thompson 3 weight classes from middle weight, that is a ****ing cast iron chin. also took shots from one of the best punchers nigel benn, a good puncher watson and calzaghe who was stopping everyone at the time. Chris eubank is solid. mculough from what ive seen took alot more than eubanks but even so. wasnt facing the same competition, apart from naseem, i think p4p benn was more feared than naseem. eubank

    Wayne, never knocked down, stood up to the hardest hitting featherweight ever, also bear in mind he had no power and was easy to hit

    This is ******ed. Eubank did have a very good chin but was badly hurt by both Benn and Amaral (6th round).

    It's not on McCullough's level. No shame in that. What Eubank should have been ashamed off is his lack of boxing ability as a whole.

    How Eubank survived the Watson rematch I'll never know. Watson lands 60-80 power shots a round.

    Eubank has the best chin I've ever seen. When his left eye was closed from a left thumb, a 210lb ripped Thompson had free shots with the right hand and couldn't put him away.

    Eubank.

    shows you how hard Calzaghe used to punch before he had hand problems to knock down a granite Eubank. I laugh at the people that call ATG Calzaghe feather fisted.. they just probably watched his last few fights.. look at his KO ratio. Calzaghe had everything :deal

    Eubank was caught cold from a punch he didn't see, and off-balance. Still a hard shot from Calzaghe though, my mate said he could hear the shot loud and clear from near the top row!

    Slight edge to McCullough imo, he took Hamed and Morales best shots without blinking. Eubank also had an iron chin but he was stunned by Benn and Amaral and KD By Calzaghe and Watson. McCullough was also easier to hit than Eubank.

    Also the Scott Harrison fight where Harrison hammered him all fight. Its more impressive that Eubank fought bigger men, but then he was a bigger man himself. Eubank has been put down and in trouble and the Pocket Rocket never was to my memory. McCullough said that when he had his brain scans etc the doctors said that his skull was twice as thick as a normal mans.

    What total nonsense, he looked awkward at times, but he actually had some good skills

    Complete BS. LaMotta, Hagler and Toney had better chins than Eubank for starters.

    When was Eubank stunned by Amaral? I must've missed that.

    He was hurt against Henry (amateur), Melfah (right hand) and Watson (one-knee KD) but that's about it. Obviously any punch hurts, but those guys caused him to lose his feet a bit with a shot.

    The George, Benn and Collins KD's were pure balance issues rather than big clean blows.

    LaMotta: Dropped once in a 106 fight career, not even the GOAT could put him down in 6 fights, and monster punching HW Bob Satterfield couldn't even dent him!

    Hagler: Not even remotely close to being stopped, down, hurt and barley even stunned in 67 fights, fighting big punchers like Mugabi, Hearns, (tope 10 hardest p4p of all time) and Obelmejias, took huge right hands and uppercuts from Hearns and just walking through them.

    Toney Never been Romtley close to being stopped (minus cut against Littles) in 90 fights over a 26 year career fighting at every weight from MW-HW! Including fighting Evander Hollyfield and huge hitting Samuel Peter.

    Eubank while still clearly iron chinned, had less fights than all three of the above was hurt by Benn, dropped and nearly stopped by Watson, briefly stunned and hurt by Amaral, dropped by Collins (a complete non-puncher) and dropped by a single punch from Calzaghe.

    LaMotta, Hagler and Toneys chins>>>>>Eubank's deal with it.
