Q: WHAT WER UR FIRST IMPRESIONS OF BIG GEORGE AND HOLYFIELD?

Eubank: What were my first impressions of George Foreman and Evander Holyfield? George I met in 1982 when he came to the Jerome boxing club I trained at in the South Bronx and let it be known that he believed in the power of Christ - a big, jolly fellow who seemed to have a heart of gold, he convinced me to go to Church at the time and still he remembered me from then. My impression of George was that this was a happy chappy, a sharp contrast to when he was a cold, calculated unhappy chappy from what I saw when he was previously a boxer, and if that is how Church can change you then I am all for it is what I thought at the time. Evander I had met at the Golden Gloves in 1984, I warmed up with Evander, Kevin Rooney and Mike Tyson. I distinguished Evander by his disciplined and dignified behavior, which was a refreshing contrast to the bravado and the questionable conduct associated with most of the other personalities at that tournament. Mike too was rather dignified and aloof believe it or not, that is why I associated myself with those men at that time.
