I loved Eubank. Thought he was class, I still do like to watch him. I wish they'd bring back "they Think its all over" and make him a captain. But without that nob Hancock

If Eubank hadn't seriously injured Michael Watson I think he would have gone on to be one of the greatest ever fighters.
For my money that was always in the back of his mind, understandably, but he was never the same ruthless finisher.
I like Khan and his classic style and I think he can become a great champion, he's still very young remember. The main difference between Khan and Hamed apart from Khan's orthodox style is that he seems far more prepared prepared to listen and learn. I hope so anyhow.

I watched that fight for the first time ever the other day on youtube and the outcome of course was horrible but after being out faught most of the fight and being downed in the 11th and really he was beat to come back and do what he done in the last half of the 11th rd was super human, i think you're right, it definently affected him.

I think Khan could potentially go down the same route as Hamed, believing the hype and getting too full of himself. He needs the right people round him and hopefully he can keep his feet on the ground.

Anybody want to do a prop bet on the first time its mentioned that Gomez was born in a car? It usually happens by the time he gets to the bottom tier of the stadium, just before the ringside seats.

I'd love to see Khan go on and dominate at world-level. Be good to have another Brit doing that.

Was just thinking that. He must have hollow bones - he looks all muscle.

good start- toe to toe boxing at its best- no fear in gomez-still moving forward even with Khans combos- just hope this can go a fair few rounds at this pace
