Eubank hints that Eubank-Watson 1 was for P4P title!?

[ross]

Eubanks is interesting to listen to but does talk nonsense at times. If Watson was beaten by Mike McCallum then how can his fight with Watson be classed as p4p best middleweight fight. McCallum would have battered Eubanks and could well have stopped him with his body shots, which was the only vulnerable part of Eubanks at that time. Chris avoided Graham, McCallum and Nunn (US fighters) so he cannot retrospectively class his fighters bigger than they really were.

McCallum would have battered Eubank but he struggled with Watson and Collins? He got the results but didnt have an easy time gettimg there and Eubank was like Toney against Nunn. He had the ability to turn a fight inbhis favour, especially before the second Watson fight.

As for Graham, Eubank knocked him out in sparring and what was Graham in 1990? A knockout victim in four rounds to Jackson. Even if Eubank was avoiding him, Graham gave him the perfect excuse by getting sparkod cold in 4 rounds and making himself basically a journeyman.

Hows retirement going Chris ?

Oh im enjoying being one of the greatest fighters britain has ever produced.

P.S. Is that your avatar or is it a live video feed of you trying to figure out percentages

I don't think McCallum could've possibly battered Eubank - Eubank didn't give enough, he was always just out of distance. Plus Eubank was three weights bigger and stronger and 10 years younger and fresher.

He signed to fight McCallum in 1990.

We are all legends in our own minds aren't we ?

I'd dare say Eubank's perception of himself is a lot closer to the truth than many of our own.

McCallum easily beat Watson, it was a clinical performance and brutal finish. Chris was a quality boxer, with a granite chin and heart of a lion who turn fights around but there was no way he would beat Mike McCallum then. The body shots were Chris’s weakness and his work rate and stamina was suspect. As good as he was, he was not simply the best.
