See thats where your wrong he may of looked in shape from outside but really how good can someone be in shape losing like 20 pounds wasn't it ?? in a week i don't see how much credit you can give him for beating old shot weight drained Eubank ??
Yeah Chris did have to lose alot of weight for that fight and he came in as a short notice replacement . So we cant say Joe was beating a prime Eubank. Joe said Eubank to this day is still his hardest fight so if a faded Eubank was that hard imagine how Joe would have done in Chris' era in with guys like Benn , Nunn and Toney
