    Eubank had so many gifts during his reign.

    Benn won this fight ,
    Dan Schommer beat Eubank.
    Ray Close beat Eubank.
    the list goes on and on.
    Remember reality is an illusion caused by a lack of alcohol .

    I agree,Eubank was IMO very overrated.

    He only looked good against fighters that went straight at him like Benn the first time.

    Remember the Dan Sherry fight? very lucky to get the nod.

    Eubank had many close decisions go his way.

    Towards the end of his career he became a fat cat and was too lazy to try and take a fighter out . He blames teh Watson fight . I blame lack of stamina and aggressive mind set

    Prime for prime though I think he was a better all round boxer than Benn

    Eubanks was good but lost his mojo after the Watson fight. Do not forget those were brutal battles with Benn and Watson.

    Anyone else think he might of been fortunate to get the nod Thorton as well......I remember even the Essett(?) fight being nip & tuck.

    The dans Shery fight was right after his first fight with Benn and he was very lucky to win that.


    I think Eubank has used the Watson fight as an excuse for being lazy and his poor skills at finnishing a hurt boxer.

    A bit off the topic but wondered earlier about Chris Eubank vs. Tony Thorton ??

    Dug it up and played it again.Have to say....I think Thorton won that fight.....by 3 points .Thorton is/was as simplistic as you can imagine with pressure but Eubank gave a whole new meaning to back foot punch & scurry that night.

    Eubanks had a whole lot of suspect decisions but because he was WBO champion and brought in money through the big contract he had with sky he was never going to lose a decision. He said in his book that he could not get motivated to fight Thorton because he was a post man!

    I was a massive fan of Eubank as a child...He was my favourite and I still maintain that he was the far superior boxer to Benn.

    I guess I'm slightly biased as Eubank kinda reminds me of a time that my dad and I's relationship was a lot better than it is now as we used to watch his fights together but I feel I'd like him even at this age. (The cocky guy who pisses everyone off but backs it up which annoys people even more)

    Benn, however, gets my respect for going over to America to rebuild his career. Something I wish Eubank would have done. Guy had massive heart and determination.

    I think I'll purchase Eubanks entire career set and make a more current judgement.

    As for Benn vs Eubank 2? Will have to watch it again!

    Merry xmas

    if i recall the draw meant that don king had nothing to do with a rematch as it was not written into the contract. or something along those lines, anyone recall that?

    I watched this fight with a few mates - all downing the Stonehouse Cider.

    We all thought Benn was robbed.

    Have watched the fight since and Benn won IMO.
