    Eubank was in awful condition against Schommer, he actually turned GREY on the scales, and was exhausted due to losing so much weight in the altitude. Schommer was extremely skilled though, always in the perfect spot down to the centimentre for Eubank to fall short with the right hand and be countered in that position with the southpaw right hook. Schommer's left was so well-measured too. He beat Virgil Hill in the amateurs post-Olympics! He was self-managed and couldn't get the fights.

    I thought Schommer beat Eubank by four or five rounds at the least.

    The Eubank who lost to Steve Collins in 1995 was not fit to lace Mike McCallum's boots in 1990. He might have beaten the 40 year old version that lost to Jones in 96, but only might.

    BAHAHAHAHAHA

    Eubank was never on Nunn's level, nevermind McCallum who is obviously a much better fighter.

    Remember an older McCallum easily dominated Watson, same Watson who wasted Benn and brought Eubank to hell and back.

    That should be enough to tell you that McCallum was levels above Eubank.

    Nunn was a class above McCallum. In fact, Nunn was in a class of his own.

    Eubank looked better against Watson than McCallum had in their 160lb title fights against Watson, for the first nine rounds before he (Eubank) ran out of steam and fell apart (not from Watson's punches), McCallum who grew into the 160 division was able to find another gear at that point of a back-and-forth war with Watson. And Watson wasn't suffering from ring rust in his ponderous attempt to lay a glove on Eubank, as he was in that nip-and-tuck tussle with McCallum.

    Stylistically on a head to head basis, Eubank's speed and movement and unpredictability was everything McCallum hated!

    Disagree. If that was the case, why did McCallum have 2 close fights with Toney, and Nunn got stopped by Toney?

    McCallum was a greater fighter than Nunn, and his resume proves that.

    I disagree. This is kind of a bad excuse. Watson didn't look rusty in his fight with McCallum, not at all tbh.


    I don't think Eubank would trouble McCallum that much, mate. McCallum outboxes him and it's clear as day to me. The way Eubank would reach in with punches would give McCallum perfect opportunities to counter. Eubank doesn't have the power to KO McCallum, nor the stamina to outwork him.

    McCallum also did a much better job against Collins than Eubank could hope to do.

    A 16-fight raw kid of Collins? Nice one.

    Yes, Watson was very rusty against McCallum! His timing and distance was way off so he just walked in with his hands up and gave as good as he got for the most part in that stiff, awkward, wooden style of his. Until McCallum pulled away when the body shots took their toll.

    Nunn completely dominated Toney, more impressively than even Roy Jones did (against an out-of-shape version, even - Jones stayed outside, hopping in and out, running around, relying on athleticism.....Nunn just stood with Toney, right there with him, and just totally outboxed him with smooth skill.

    Lol see you always got an excuse.. Collins looked the same against McCallum as he did against Eubank. Same style, aggression etc.

    Watson would have always been destroyed by McCallum, and that's something you need to accept. I don't care about no damn hypotheticals. what happened happened, and Watson got croaked. Period.

    Nunn didn't outpoint him all of that easily. Really it's a testament to Nunn's chin that he lasted as long as he did, I guess you missed all of those sweet counters that Toney was catching him with up until the stoppage. Like I said, if Nunn was levels above McCallum he would have at least lasted the full distance with Toney, like McCallum did.

    Oh, Collins looked identical, sure!

    Subjective.

    Nunn was a class above McCallum in talent, a class of his own in fact.

    Ok, somebody please explain to me why posters on this forum consistently post anything Eubank Sr. says? What is your fascination with Eubank?
