    I just read another thread where Eubank stated he sparred with Graham and McCallum and stated it took Mike 5 rounds to figure him out, when he did he started a body attack and beat Chris up, it was similar when he sparred with Graham, he says he knocked Herol out early, then after they started to carry on sparring and Graham eventually outboxed him, his angle here is that by this time in a real fight the two would be too far behind on points even after finishing much stronger, is this a clever notion? Would Eubank really stand a chance?

    Of course, he'd stand a chance. More than a chance against Graham, who was clever and moved well but significantly smaller. Eubank was vulnerable to body shots, though, and that's bad news against McCallum.

    Yes, he admitted he dodged a unification match v Mike because of the body shots he landed against him in sparring.

    Do you have a link or a source? Do you make stuff up, just to start new threads?

    2015 interview he says he tried to get McCallum to spar, but Mike wouldn’t. So what is your source. And did you try to discover the authenticity or was your desire to start thread 9,732 overwhelming you?

    I am not saying it is false...but he says it is false! He claims he sparred with Renaldo Snipes and Glenwood Brown, but McCallum would not.

    Eubank wasnt on McCallum's level. He knew it, which is why he wanted no parts of McCallum, or Nunn, for that matter.

    McCallum would have outclassed Eubank to a clear UD win.

    I have heard him speak highly of Graham as well. I just get tired of these threads making an unsubstantiated claim, and then not having the stones to provide a link or just say you made it up because you were bored and needed attention. I am waiting on @mark ant to man up and give a source.

    McCaallum was from another planet to Brown, he would have destroyed him at light middle, Brown wasn`t even a good welter, he was awful when losing to Meldrick Taylor. Why the hell was Eubank bragging about sparring with a welter?
