Benn was my favourite but I never disliked Eubank. Eubank basically fought to the level of his opposition, so there were quite a few dull 12 round fights, whereas Benn would tear the the head off similar opposition.

I don't think there's anything phony about Eubank. I think a harmless eccentric is a fair description of him too. Mad, sometimes annoying, cringeworthy but he can take the piss out of himself too, as the hilarious "Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank" shows.
