Why does every ****ing mong on here wanna argue. We are just having a discussion and you call me a 'brainlet' for no reason. I don't give a flying **** to be honest with you, and I don't even hear any hint of a working class London accent, he's just a posh Brighton puff who got his ass handed to him by a young Joe Calzaghe.
I reckon you are Bulldog or an alt of someone else.. hence why you tried to throw insults at me for no reason. A young, green, future great Joe Calzaghe - who was nowhere near the full article- knocked Eubank down and gave him a beating. Eubank was never on Calzaghe's level, deal with it you miserable snowflake.
We know Eubank came out of retirement for that fight and took it on 10 days notice. Even Chris himself admits he'd of stopped Calzaghe at his best - he would've.. Joe had no defence for the right hand, ever. Calzaghe was certainly at his physical peak back then, being 25/26 and healthy hands making the weight better.
It’s like soggy biscuit on this thread, mate, they’re Eubank fans (nowt wrong with that)...imagine trying to knock one out over Holly Willoughby whilst someone keeps whispering the words Phillip Schofield in your ear. That’s essentially what you’re doing with your posts on this thread. Just slowly walk out and close the door behind you, you didn’t see anything
Of course, somewhere on the internet there's doubtless fanfic being written even now the address that particular niche market.
He had fought 7 months previously and was or had been active for the previous years, only 2 years removed from the second Collins fight, he was also 32....he was still young.
Eubank is a legend in British boxing, I'm a big fan but he does half overrate himself. He did he really fight? Benn, Watson, Calzaghe. He fought absolutely nobody of note across the shore. Avoided the best really, shame to say.
Eubank was a tough ol chap, but he does really really book himself massively over what he actually was
he built himself up so dangerously that he had to avoid hurting his opponents too much after the watson fight.
I get the impression he's exaggerated it a bit to make it look like he had it hard, harder than everyone else, when infact many had it harder than him
