    This would be a good battle. Both men displaying good skills,power and durability. As both had solid chins I can definitely see it going the distance. Turpin's busier workrate and speed would ensure victory,I believe.

    I saw the Robinson/Turpin fight in NY ,1951..Randy Turpin at his best was too big and strong for Chris Eubank...Turpin was built like a mini light heavyweight then..Awkward, and a punishing hitter...Turpin by tko over Eubank...

    Eubank was also a huge middle,in reality he was more a 'natural' light heavy.
    Eubank was strong enough to mix it with carl thompson who was a world class cruiser and puncher. I think that eubank is definately the bigger man in this fight,and he has the power to stop turpin...
