Re: Who was boxings greatest character?
Eubank was the pinnacle of sporting arrogance throughout britain in the 1990s and hence gained one hell of a backlash for it..
Quite beautiful though towards the end how the same arrogant eubank went from being universally hated to becoming a fan favourite solely because the casual fan realised that love him or hate him he was a great fighter who had given them hours of pleasure.
Remember my dad hoisting me over his shoulders in the local pub so i could roar "EUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUBANK" with all the other locals urging him on to victory over steve collins!!
one dangerous horrible bloke
