Because Bulldog was saying Eubank weighed 195 in most of his bouts compared to Robi and Leonard who only weighed 147, Leonard didn`t weigh 147 in his rematch with Hearns or his bout v Lalonde when he knocked a hard punching light heavy out, so I don`t see Eubank`s fight time weight being a factor in terms of punch power, Leonard looked really muscular in 1989 v Hearns.

McClellan turned professional in 1988. Trained by hall of fame trainer Emanuel Steward, his early career was notable for a propensity for quick victories by knockout: only two of his first 29 fights went beyond the third round, although he lost both of those on the scorecard (in 6 rounds against Dennis Milton, 8 against Ralph Ward, in successive fights.) However, these proved only a momentary check on his career, as he captured the vacant WBO middleweight title by knocking out John Mugabi in one round in 1991, and the WBC middleweight title by knocking out Julian Jackson in five rounds in May 1993, after McClellan had survived some brutally hard punches from Jackson in the second and third rounds. McClellan defended the WBC title three times, all first round stoppages, including a rematch with Jackson. In the fall of 1994, McClellan separated from his long-term trainer Emanuel Steward.
He copied Ali`s tactic of standing just out of range so he would just have to move his head slightly to evade the jab.
Norris was reckless in his first bout v Brown and kept getting caught but was more coy in the rematch making it impossible for Brown to catch him again, this is the way he fougt Jackson but Julian still nailed him, awesome.
McClellan comes into the ring at 200. Eubank comes in at 205. Eubank wins a SD, then calls out Wilder.
