    Its been many years since watching these fights but I remember when Eubank beat undefeated Rocchigiani in Germany, who beat Nunn and became the WBC LHW champ. I remember thinking Eubank did well in that fight and also when Eubank beat world rated H Wharton

    The first four rounds against Thornton - Eubank was incredible. He seemed to look better than Toney and Jones. Good that someone voted on that.

    Never hard that before. He always claimed he thought he won, despite being severely weight-drained.

    'The first six rounds were a breeze - all easy, beautiful. I won them unquestionably.' - Eubank's book, on Watson I


    He does acknowledge that he was losing Watson II however...

    *cough* Jones tko'd Thornton in 3 rounds and knocked him down in round 2 also whearas Eubank didn't come remotely close to stopping him or knocking him down and had a close fight with him, so how did he look better than Jones?

    Love Eubank, all time favorite boxer, the 1st and the 2nd Thompson fights were brutal, the 1st was really close and was a brilliant fight the second was equally good but because of the doctors stoppage it took the shine of it.
    It just a shame Eubanks eye kept swelling up it cost him the fight, credit to Thompson though obviously the power of his punches caused the swelling, but it took massive courage two jump two weight divisions and he arguably won the first fight or at least got a draw. I have yet to watch some of the fights on this list though.

    Benn I and Wharton. Denys Cronin and John Jarvis Shouldn't be on the poll as any decent fighter can look good against bums.

    For me the first Benn fight. Brutal fight where he showed not only skill but heart.

    The Thompson fights were also very impressive, especially the first one. To jump 2 weight divisions and face a puncher of Thompson's calibre was incredible. Thompson had brutal 1 punch KO power yet Eubank took it all.

    Your devotion to Eubank is admirable ( sometimes ) but the last paragraph is ****ing bull****.
