    included Eric Holland, Winston Burnett, Simon Collins, Anthony Logan, Frank Moro, Randy Smith, Jean-Noel Camara, Johnny Melfah, Denys Cronin, Hugo Corti and Kid Milo! He also fought southpaws (Canty, Da Silva) and light-heavyweights (George, Aquilina) on late notice, and a wild Michael Justin and non-throwing evader Contreras. He saw 12 rounds, he saw everything.

    I worry that his son hasn't had it a fraction as difficult?

    I don't see the defense-mastered British journeymen who had most tricks in the book (Burnett, Moro) on Eubank Jr's profile or a world-class gatekeeper (Randy Smith). No 12 rounds. No Logan (WBC #16) or Camara (WBC #16) and nobody who could put you away with one shot like Melfah (right hand) or Cronin (left hook) did in their successful amateur and emerging pro careers, or Corti (WBC #11) did against legendary Corro!

    He hasn't had a tough route to title contention like his old man had in his opposition.
