    Eubank was less ruthless after Watson, everyone who watched his career unfold pretty much believes that and he did. Chris put in allot of poor performances after that

    He won at least one of the Collins fights anyway

    absolute rubbish, the only people who believe that are the "Eubank apologists" who just can't stomach the fact that Eubank was beaten by a better boxer and that he wasn't the best super middleweight fighter of his generation on this side of the Atlantic. Eubank was a great fighter and its an insult to Benn, Thornton & Malinga and the other fighters that he beat 'post Watson' to suggest that he was less ruthless. Also very insulting to Collins's legacy.

    Which fight did Eubank apparently win? In the first fight Eubank knew he was beaten, Collins got a unaminous decision and Eubank was heard before the anouncement claiming "I got a draw".

    In the second fight he was heard complaining to his corner that Collins had been "coming all night". Despite the fact that the second fight was a split decision it was clear that Eubank had lost. His corner told him just before the 12th that he needed a knockout.
