One of the youtube channels that I follow suggested Eubank was more convincing vs Rocchigianni (RIP) than Michalczewski when they fought, I disagree, but since both results are up for debate would that mean Eubank would have had a chance to beat Dariuz at 175lbs?
Eubank was more convincing if we are talking about the first fight with Michalczewski. Rocchigianni was well on his way to stopping Dariusz until Michalczewski played up a late punch. Given that, Dariusz did win clearly the second time around. This is all styles though. I think Michalczewski's aggression and sharp one-twos would win the day against Eubank.
I think Eubank was a class above Michalczewski, as shown in the Rocky fights. Dariusz was very solid allaround with a very good jab and decent power but did nothing exceptional. Senior had all sorts of crazy abilities going on.
Senior is incredibly overrated. Virgil Hill was much better than Eubank at 175. The Hell did Senior ever do at lightheavy?
Eubank is criminally underrated!!! However not sure why he is being brought up in a LHW thread, as he didn’t really go there till the end of the road...not really sure he would ever have been effective there? Middle and Super Middle are where he should be gauged
Sr would've been extremely effective at 175 as he always killed himself to make weight, and with those in and out movements against the bigger guys.
