Re: Chris Eubank was a true champion. I miss this kind of fighter.

I too was a huge Eubank fan, particularly when it was not popular to be one. And although the first Benn fight was a bona fide British 'classic'; I went to fight two, and to this day thought it was a bit boring.
Both had too much respect for each other, and the reason it was interesting was its closeness. Although from my nosebleed seat I had it 10-2 Benn, watching it on TV I had it 7/5 Benn.
You are right about Eubank's chin, but he was a bit soft in the belly sometimes...
