    Chris couldn't bring himself to throw punches at a man he looked up to in awe as an amateur.

    If Eubank wasn't Eubank in respectful mind set and fought him and tried to win, Hearns is ALL WRONG for him. Eubank was about disrupting flow and rythm with his gliding movement, Tommy was a stop-start tenser before releasing burst at a time. He'd out work Eubank with combos to head and body, stopping and starting, not allowing Eubank to time him

    Excellent post this is proof of the duck.

    At the time Hearns was the number 1 SMW in the world and Eubank was given an opportunity to prove himself the best.

    Instead he chose to fight his WBO mandatories.

    Anyway, Michael Nunn was the top guy back then

    Tommy Hearns was a past legend
