RJJ would have stomped out Benn, Eubank, Collins, and even Calzaghe had he decided to fight him earlier.

RJJ TOYED with top contenders and when he was serious he usually stopped the fight really early.
When speaking of Jones, Eubank himself says in his autobiography -

'would i have beaten him? highly unlikely. Would he have hurt me badly? Almost certainly. Would i have hurt him? Yes. But not as bad as he would have hurt me.'

He went on to say thats why he didn't fight Jones but explains that he didn't duck Jones as if Jones was the no1 contender he would have done his duty and fought him.
