Interesting group of fighters there Simply. Did you pick that name because you're a Eubanks fan?

Yes I'm a Eubank fan as well as Benn. Are you a Naz fan?

I'm also a big Eubank fan. I loved almost all his fights and his interviews.
I still think that Eubank was a changed fighter after his fight with Michael Watson.

I actually picked the nickname on another sports board because all the names I picked were already taken so I used it here too. I enjoy his fights/punching power & look forward to seeing him again in 2005. I liked Benn & Eubank but didn't get to see any of Eubank's fights here in the States.

Here are two more fighters.

Anthony Logan - First man to send Nigel Benn to the canvas. Lost a thrilling 2nd rd ko to Benn. He also lost a 8 rd dec to Chris Eubank when Eubank was a middleweight.
Wayne Elcock - Beat Anthony Farnell via 12rd ud. Dropping Farnell along the way. Was subsequently ko'd in one rd in his next fight.

Eubank is an interesting character. Pickup his autobiography it's a good read. Yes I agree he was never the same after the Watson fight. I beleive he could have won the first Collins fight as he had him hurt but refused to go for the finish. Also didn't go in for the finish against Carl Thompson in there first fight.
