    chris by ko

    eubank was a hard nut to crack he had an almighty chin. and when it was knocked down he would stand up in less than 3 secounds...in his 6 knockdown as a pro he was only properly knocked down by calzgahe and watson. he has laste on the canvas only 19 secounds. he was never phased and never gave up.

    his inside abilty was imensily awkward,he had kept a low left hand and a high right hand very similar to hearns but eubank was in a squat position. he would stay close enough so that every punch would be able to land jab cross uppercut hook every thing.he then stalked his man and launched these quick shots right on the chin,the temple, the soft of the liver and the solar plexus...he was also a very quick fighter not in succestion and combo's but in the speed he reacted his jab was frightningly snappy.

    anyone with a game plan was to win the first few rounds and stay compettative at the end. becuase eubanks stamina especially in the early years was dire. later he could go 12 rounds easyt but he tired himself out by throwing to many punches.

    he also walked away which hearns had never seen before,not that hearns will feel embaresed and leave the ring in a huff just it was hard to hit chris and when you did he would saty standing. he would brawl box and outfox his man.

    i love hearns and feel he could beat everyother british middlewieght in the 90's and 80' but not eubank

    chris eubank was a pinguo as well. he tko'd nigel benn in the first fight in the 8th. a benn was one of the toughest boxers of england.

    He lost all three .....he just got hometown decisions.

    eubank was a solid, awkward fighter........who spend most of his time making an ass of himself (and the WBO) by fighting pathetic challengers.

    anway, he was good enough to beat the john javises of this world.....but not someone with the talent of hearns.

    if thulane malingas jab was good enough to outpoint eubank, hearns jab would have set him up for the right hand. and the knockout.

    is this before or after watson:think

    well doesnt matter who he loses to he would beat hearns. hearns had an amazing right hand but he wouldnt hit him hard enough... and the ko eubank was knocked down only through unbalance not by a shaky jaw.
    hearns doesnt counterpunch he dosnt have the inside abilty to hurt him


    ....wait what am i saying have you ever seen a eubank fight
