in the article they put up on the front page he seems to be all for boxing ??
because he's insane
I've never actually heard Eubank saying he hated boxing, though? All he said was he considered it a mug's game because most boxers got misused and hurt, he also said he considered himself lucky to be in the top 5% of earners in boxing (because he was born with charisma). It's clear he's a proud gladiator and was deeply into the technique and tactical parts of boxing.
Yeah, boxing hated him, but the general public loved him. Unless you were a wanker, he brought a smile to your face.
Fucking legde as far as I'm concerned..

it was just hype , he knew by comming across as eccentric that it would make fans love him or hate him but either way it put bums on seats and sold tickets !!!
Eubank scripted interviews so he came across as inteligent but when he was caught ofguard he isnt so bright.
I think he is now bankrupt which make me smile ;D
Can I ask why that makes you smile?Quote:

Nium, have my first CC. I couldn't have said it better. Eubank is a legend. Good times for British boxing. Even domestically!! When do we ever see domestic superfights anymore? (Benn vs Eubank).Quote:

He didnt hate Boxing, He loved it, Chris is a character great to be around, but not for to long. Very good hearted but on his own planet, I love the guy ,fascinating company.
he loved the art and philisophy behind boxing but not the business and how fighters were managed
He's still one annoying fuck
Was it Benn or Eubank that was involved in another fight which resulted in a fighter being critically injured? I'm talking other than McClellan or Watson here,
Herol Graham to Rod DouglasQuote:

Its true he is bankrupt - I have a friend who goes out socially with him
He's so broke now he has to travel by bus and cant afford the cab journey
Well it reallt saddens me to hear that he's broke, He did a lot for european boxing and charity too.
Really?Quote:

i remember when he was fined for getting his bits out in front of some 18 year old blondes through a taxi window, that was only a few yrs back
apparently when he's had a few drinks, the articulations and upper class accents are nowhere to be heard and he turns into a thug !! thats what one guy said who saw him swigging free brandy's back like orange juice in DUBAI, he got really loud apparently and sounded like a chav !
DD why do you keep making new accounts ??Quote:

He often only just did enough to win in his fights, often letting opponents off the hook, like he did in the first Thompson fight, which led to him getting beaten.
