How dyou explain eubank beating Benn and coming back to stop watson then, the man could win at all costs, rather like Benn v mcClellen, I dont like Calzaghe but he is a very good fighter but so are Benn and Eubank and I believe they are all equally as good but id still favour Chris.Originally Posted by ICE COLD BOXING
when they did fight joe was supposed to be Collins mandatory defence but Steve got knocked cold by Howard Eastman a week before the fight, Eubank on the undercard already to fight a lightheavy bout against mark Prince took the bout at short notice, he would have already been trying to get down to lightheavy that week let alone supermiddle another 7lbs below.
chris probably had something like a stone to lose in the last week, I remember reading that all he was eating all week was fruit and vegatable juice, yet he still gave Joe his self confessed hardest fight.
I believe in Chris;s heyday he would have beaten Joe, when chris lost to Collins it was down to having 8 12 rounders in 1 year, which world champs now take on even half of that workload ?
