Chris Eubank says he'll come out of retirement!

[gogs67]

Morrisey also predicted Douglas would beat Tyson and that Joe would win all 12 rounds against Lacy!
In fact i think he wrote a song about it!

if somebody like thomas hearns can make a succesfull comback at 47 why can't eubank make 1 at 39

Not least because Eubank has not had a fight for 7/8 years, and he has not won at anything resembling his peak for 12 years or so.

And if you call Hearns comeback a 'success', I have some prime land in Chernobyl you may be intrested in...

i ment that he won the fight and he is still going so it was a succesfull comback beacuse he won imo. I do think eubank would win a few fights but i do know he would never be a champion again.

srry, but Eubank is finished

Wheres Alex W when you need him... Eubank's one of his trainers.

John Conteh told me that there will be a Smith's reunion this year.

Seriously, though, I can believe that Eubank's personal circumstances may make a comeback seem desirable. I suspect that this will be about money rather than glory and hope that he finds another way to make a few quid.

I think Eubank is too brave to be allowed to make a doomed comeback.

'Hell is the bell that will not ring again'

Eubank was a great fighter but he'd only embarrass himself if he made a comeback. He's been in wars over his boxing career and i wouldn't want to see him get hurt. After Michael Watson 2 Eubank held himself back in fights which is dangerous and i think by making a comeback he would be putting himself in serious danger. I'd sooner be Bankrupt and in good health and besides that i wouldn't take anything that Morrissey said seriously anyway.

I don't see how there would be too much of a problem, Eubank had a superb left jab and it would help keep him out of trouble with a washed up Jones Jr (Eubank might of lost all his quickness and reflexes by now, but would never of lost his jab). And I'm sure this is just a one-fight comeback.

Then why does Shavers not come back and clean up the heavyweight division?

After all he could never of lost that right hand power, and no one in the Heavyweights is half a RJJ.

The right type of an opponent for a guy like Eubank would be another older fighter with a mediocre record. That's what Tommy Hearns did. Eubank's basic talent should allow him to avoid any real calamity under such a circumstance.

If he's broke this is still the wrong way to scrounge up a few bucks. I think it's just a rumor. He might do better to show up at places and sign autographs!

he should really stick to a day job

[SimonH]

he should really stick to a day job

But prancing around Brighton, dressed like a Victorian/Edwardian Gentleman, does not pay the bills no more.

[WWatt]

Has anybody seen anything about this in any papers then, or anything?

lol, he could get a job in asda or somethin

I read in the papers that he was divorced and also bankrupt - does anyone know any more details about what happened and how.

I don't want to pry into the guys marriage, but I am interested in how he could be bankrupt only afew years after earning millions in the ring? His accountant should

- have mustard spread onto his ears and be Iron Mike's next opponent.
- be given a dress and made to share a cell with Ike Ikeabuchi
- be put between two bread buns and given to George Foreman
- have to run baby oil onto James Toney's man boobs

This is such a shame - whtever you think about the guy, he earned his money the hard way and never shirked from punishment in the ring. He deserves to have kept it.
