Haye did what he had to do to win the fight.FACT!

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.

Go on Lyle, admit it, until Wlad lays him spark out your little pooper is going to be winking 20 to the dozen

He doesn't need to admit it it's already obvious he's in blind panic.

Was you? I wasn't, I thought Haye did what he had to do but he has a lot more in the locker. Kind of remindedme of Roy Jones when he fought Hopkins, he admits himself he was nervous and didn't perform to the best of his abilities and that coupled with the broken hand made him look, well not fantastic, but from then on he looked better and better no matter who he faced and totally tormented the man who was supposed to beat him in James Toney. I see a similar story here for Haye.
