Chris Eubank; Irish have a ghost like spirit?

[Fighting Gaming]

Eubank has experienced the guts and glory of the Irish boxer Stephen Collins. Roy Jones Jr did not want to fight Collins, he ducked him and was afraid of the Irishman, they never fought. Collins was a two weight Middleweight champion. retired with a boxing record of 39 fights 36 wins 3 losses, losses all by decision never stopped. I not sure Conor has the Celtic spirit of Collins, but we will find out?

I know they are pale but that's rather harsh of Eubank.

Well conor sure spirited away his fans money on this farce . . . so.

RJJ ducked him? Lol. They were supposed to fight in 99' but something happened in sparring and Collins called the fight off. Collins wasn't a huge draw. Not sure why Jones would have went to a lot of trouble to make that fight happen. Stephen had a belt to offer, but that's about it. Ask anyone who knows boxing, Roy would have worked him.

He did not have the Conor personality likely the reason he did not become a bigger star. Roy jr did not want this fight, he avoided it.

"English" is always entertaining to listen to.

So that video proves what? It is in Collins' best interest to say Roy was afraid of him and he would have beat him. Doesn't make it true. He interrupted Roys interview after he just won a fight. Roy says anyone can get it while Collins is trying to chime in. Then Merchant says the fight was shit, but blames it on the WBC. So who was really pulling the strings anyhow? Also, Benn was on the decline when he beat him and Eubank was as well. By 97' Collins himself retired. RJJ in 97' was a bad man. Fighting Collins would have been a risk, I'll give you that. But the reward didn't justify taking the fight. That's business, not ducking. Roy still wins 8 of 10 IMO.

Eubanks might be the most interesting fighting personality ever.
