One man short in my reckoning, and it ain't Thompson.

If anyone gets it, they probably know more about boxing than is good for them.

i must admit i haven`t seen any re-runs of the eubank/ collin`s matchups but i seem to remember steve getting tagged and going down, and eubank not following up preffering to pose in the middle of the ring allowing collins time to recuperate.
i cant recall collins putting eubank down.
i`m not saying he never just i cant remember it.
as for the other man to floor eubank i`m convinced it didnt happen in the pro ranks so it was either at amateur or in the gym or something.
thats my theory anyway.
didn`t naz and eubank have a altercation at a airport ben?
its not naz is it?

The other man to floor Eubank was Acton light-heavy Greg George, who floored Eubank in their 1988 fight at Wembley. Eubank was struggling in the fight and eventually won on cuts. He was giving a lot of weight away to George.

I honestly didn't know that, well you learn something everyday.
Was Chris hurt?

Yeah, it was a genuine knockdown though Eubank was up immediately. George knew the cut was bad and was throwing shots with bad intentions. A few moments later, the ref ruled out George with his injury.
