I could say I fought the last four years of my career with one leg, that I couldn't extend my right elbow in the period '92-'93, that I had nausea in South Africa and diarrhea in Dubai, and was in the Correctional Facility of Indiana, USA to visit Mike Tyson in prison the night before I fought in Belfast. "If I had used particular issues as excuses for loss(es) or supposedly below-par performance(s), I would've been looked upon in a lesser respect. Similarly if I had pulled out of a title fight or title defense, complaining of a bad arm or bad leg or wouldn't fight my mandatory challenger - all of which is unprofessional and not the mark of a proper champion dealing with the pressures - then I would've lost respect, no question about it."
wasnt eubank making excuses about loosing to collins before the fight saying he wanted to pull out ect...
Collin's claimed he was hypnotised and it spooked Eubank. Collins had a charlatan in his corner called Tony Quinn who claimed he had hypnotised Collins. It was all bull**** but it ****ed Eubank's head up.
Froch has the Eubank mentality to dealing with injuries, Chris heart in many bouts was one of the greatest i witnessed. He'd let you know about it as well .
