    really very good but no1 as murderous as McClellan in it . Plus , baring d probably already weight drained Toney , no1 as young as McClellan in it . And McClellan wasn't just a hard puncher but also a sturdy 1 as well and a Kronk fighter himself and Steward knew McCallum and McClellan was no Hearns . But during 1989-1991 , McCallum might have still been 2 experienced 4 McClellan if that's what u meant .

    I wouldn't say that power.eubank's head slips against the jab in those fights were on a very high level.He was rarely caught flush.

    It was the short Watson right hand in the rematch that started to get pay off, as he tired from the pressure and got sloppier.

    Forget Johnny Melfah the fighter, think of Johnny Melfah the human mammal - the human jaw is a sturdy thing.... Eubank shattered it into many pieces from top to bottom with one short right. The guy went to intensive care.

    Eubank didn't have more KO's because he didn't look for them - his style didn't suit looking for the knockout punches. I don't need to tell what he did to Watson with one uppercut. He put Malinga down for the first time, one shot. I thought he KD'd Lindell Holmes a few times but they weren't counted as KD's. And he dropped big Ray Close the European champ like a sack of spuds with one uppercut that couldn't have travelled more than 3-4 inches. A single uppercut of his even lifted a 210lb Carl Thompson clean off his feet.

    You think, it's been a while but I thought Watson had plenty of success in both fights with both hands scoring much the cleaner work. I thought Rochiagiani and Malinga ran him close too

    I don't think Rocchigiani or Malinga ran him close! Eubank ran away with them.

    Thought Eubank won it quite easily, 8-4 with a KD with middle rounds given away on lack of workrate.

    A prime Ray Close would have beat Andre Ward and Joe Calzaghe on the same night !
