I'm struggling to see why you questioned my post, apart from the predictable irrational defence of one of your Bum Chums as per usual.Quite a long time?That was the popular perception, and I certainly remember when he was beating up Henry Wharton and asking for the ref to stop the fight because he didn't want to pull the trigger. But tbf , Wharton , although getting well beat, was a tough fucker and was taking it fairly well .
Many people, and Eubank himself would say that this is why he got beat by Collins, but the Collins fights were quite a long time after the Watson fight, and he'd fought quite a few guys inbetween, including a draw in the Benn rematch (which I thought he lost btw.)
it probably did affect him a bit, but he kept going.
Yes, in a boxing career, that is quite a long time , is it not?
It was only 3.5 years later!
Correct, read above comment.
Is there a time limit where putting someone in a coma stops affecting you?
Absolutely not. like I said in my post , there were signs when he fought Wharton that it affected him.
He had 14 ffights inbetween and bar the stunning one punch KO of Jarvis they all went 12 rounds.
Correct again, your point is ? bear in mind, I didn't say it never affected him.
I think he was still affected, you only need to see his reaction to Collins sagging through the ropes when he dropped him in the tenth. Plus with that many world title fights travelling all over and all going 12 in such a short period I think he was a bit jaded and maybe struggling with the weight.
I'm not disagreeing with you , infact if you read the last line of my post (I know you find it difficult to concentrate enough to read my "essays") , you would realise that I said it probably did affect him a bit , of course it would. However , there were probably other factors as well , which you admitted in the last line of your post!![]()
