Also, it's worth noting that Eubank actually looked pretty comfortable at Cruiserweight.

Yup - he looked better in defeat against Calzaghe and Thompson than he did in lots of his victories

Thats because he fought to the level of his opposition, and often fought better when presented with a challenge. plus the Michael Watson fight did effect him somewhat. I agree with you somewhat BIG H, but you could also argue Chris Eubank was weight drained in the Joe Calzaghe fight. Although it was still a brave performance from Chris Eubank, and a good win for a green Joe Calzaghe.

As for the Carl Thompson fights, i think in the 1st fight for the first 4 rounds. Chris Eubank boxed a great fight, and he could of got Carl Thompson out of there atleast twice but let him off.

But the extra Cruiserweight strength did show in the end, and Chris Eubank didn't allow himself to recover long enough in the rematch with that badly swollen eye, great fights though especially the 1st one which could of been the FOTY.
