    Eubank was the best out of the British/Irish middle/super-middles of 80s/90s. He beat Benn fair and square, he beat Watson fair and square twice, he unfairly and unsquarely lost to Collins in his 44th fight of no defeats... and had the best win of them all (fact is Rocchigiani proved his worth far more than McClellan did)

    And shouldn't be an unusual opinion. In fact, it's fact.

    He beat Watson fairly twice (talking about the first fight) and then lost to Collins unfairly? That right there shows that you've got a bias towards Eubank my friend. I wouldn't say he got a gift against Watson in the first fight but he certainly didn't win. Why is it ok for Eubank to receive a win by a controversial decision but his opponent not to?

    I'm talking about the refereeing. Eubank cleanly KD'd Collins in the 2nd round with a stepping overarm right and it wasn't counted, and what should've been a 10/8 Eubank round turned into a 10/9 Collins round. Collins caught Eubank square with a lunging push to the stomach in the 8th round, and what should've been a 10/9 Eubank round turned into a 10/8 Collins round.

    Bubi Scholz would have won the mw title, defended it and ended up a true atg if he would have gotten a shot at it.

    Floyd Patterson and Wlad Klitschko are (borderline) Top10 hw.

    Max Schmeling would have beaten Max Baer in a rematch.

    Graziano Rocchigiano was the best German lhw in the 90s above Maske and DM.

    I have it more like the middle of the Back To The Future trilogy. The second fim was pretty good,but not quite as brilliant as I & III.
