    Eubank was a typical British DOMESTIC LEVEL fighter. The British tv covered up the fact that he wasn't even realistically one of the top few in the world, and most delusional Brits actually believed that when Benn and Eubank fought that it was the world's two best fighters at the weight going at it.

    Benn > Eubank every day of the week. Years after they both retired they met on a "gladiator"-type show, but one that involved martial arts of a sort, pounding each other with sticks, etc. Eubank pussied out, claiming "The Doctor" told him not to continue. This, after Benn had whipped him like a bad dog in one event after another.

    Eubank was NEVER a world-class fighter. His son may or may not be better, it's too early to tell.

    Malinga: Decent boxer but did nothing but beat a shot Benn and a disinterested Reid.

    Holmes: Past his best and at the end of his career.

    Thornton: B level fighter, did well vs Toney? LOL Toney toyed with him.

    :lol: you prat. Name a fight he boxed better in?

    He certainly took a million times more punishment against Benn (1) and Watson (2).

    Whatever.

    There's a youtube video floating around about the Naz-Eubank incident, where Ingle tells to Eubank's face that Hamed has more talent in his little finger than Eubank has in his entire body.

    Considering Naz wasn't exactly a great boxer, what does that tell about Chris ?
    :yep

    I had it 3-3 after the first six rounds. Thornton's performance against Sosa was more impressive than Toney's against Merqui! I thought he was robbed against DeWitt and Collins before he peaked as a fighter.

    Holmes was a tremendous fighter and very dangerous hitter. The Fab Four wouldn't go near him so he had to travel the world into backyards being robbed against the top fighters. When he smashed Tate all over the ring, Tate was saying he was in the best shape of his career because he was killing himself to make 160.

    Malinga was very, very good back then and not actually the same fighter against Jones and Benn (2) and Reid etc when he became a big name. He looked superb against top operators Rocchigiani and Holmes in highly tactical fights fought at a very high level of peek-a-boo timing/placing.

    Eric Holland was hard as nails! Relentless. Iron-jawed. Gave a very good account of himself against Green and Winky. He was already Pernell Whitaker's chief sparring partner before he fought Eubank.

    World class fighter or not Eubank was one tough SOB in his day. He didn't always like to take the bigger challenges but when he was committed to them he saw them out to their conclusion and stood up to whatever punishment was dished out. He could have taken more big challenges and proven himself against higher level opponents, but he was only in boxing for the money and didn't care what people thought of him just so long as they paid to see him.

    When Benn and Eubank took part in that gladiator thing Benn took it totally seriously and trained hard, Eubank looked at it as a silly little TV show and barely trained at all. Benn clearly felt he had something to prove while Eubank wasn't taking it seriously. It's hardly an accurate comparison of the two men as fighters, occuring as it did years after both men had retired.
