Eubank would of made Jones look bad, but it is hard to see him win a round with his low activity level and lack of stamina.

You've never seen Eubank fight.
Like I said,too much blind love and I was referring to this particular scenario,and who are you to tell me who I have and have not seen fight. I have seen many of Eubank's fights and by looking at him,you can see that RJJ would beat on him badly but when you hear Eubank say it himself.....And again,don't be telling me who I have and have not seen fight.

Eubank is the most hated and under-rated fighter in the history of boxing. There was never any love for him.
And your boring me..
Re: Did CHRIS EUBANK ever spar with ROY JONES JNR ??

I don't know anything about Jones Jr and Eubank sparring..
I do know that Jones Jr was in the 'supertent' though (for Benn/Watson) because he exhanged phone numbers with Mica Paris, Benn/Watson was on NBC in the States and Jones Jr turned pro on that TV station.. they probably wanted to get Jones Jr in there with Benn?
Here's a great article link about early Jones Jr:

I actually just got a copy of the Lindell Holmes sparring session. It's amazing to see how well Jones, a practical amataeur at the time, handle a very good champ in Lindell Holmes. I'd love to see if there is a copy of the Essett or any other early sparring session with Roy.
