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

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!

didnt stop roy jones being motivated for his defences!

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

[Spicoli]

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

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.
