    Yes he has good wins against Lemiuex and Eubank but they did not have you on the edge of your seat

    The Eubank win is a myth. Did he win? Probably. But I keep hearing nonsense of he schooled him.

    I’d actually favour Eubank in the rematch. Not sure BJS can be assed anymore and is waiting for a pay check

    The Eubank fight the only one I can remember being remotely a decent watch and it was that long ago my memory could be wrong

    From memory the Ryder and Eubank fights were good close fights and he done number on Andy Lee and David Lemieux.

    I think he was a very talented fighter with great potential but we will never know how good because he wasted his best years.

    He had a very exciting round vs Andy Lee.

    It wouldn't even be close if Billy and Eubank fought again.

    Eubank improved greatly since that fight but BJS fully motivated is the man to beat.

    lol Eubank is sh*te. He is stong and fit and aggressive. That's about it. Boxing ability is on a similar level to Shannon Courtenay.

    His matches with Ryder, Eubank and Lemieux were all quite entertaining.

    Was going to say Eubank but what do you expect from him. Never going to be the type who would want a good tear up and rightfully so. Super skilled technical ability but not a big puncher. He’s not Rocky Balboa who would gleefully walk into punches
