Eubank would be among my favorites as well, and like you fits into my honorable mention category. Good to see someone else finds him exciting to watch

 

I’ve never to this day experienced the hype that Eubank-Watson II had before it. In the street, the classroom, playground, pub, work place, home, bbq anywhere. EVERYONE wanted to see Watson put him over. And everyone despised Eubank the more they saw him on Tv.

 

Chris always brought the theatre with him. I believe it was during the Carl Thompson fight he did a war cry and I got chills, his posturing and little eccentric nuances make him a very enjoyable viewing.

Eubank was also comically tough and watching him bounce back and fight through some otherwise game changer shots was wicked. His character and passion where always on full display when he was on and it was a treat.

 

Roy Jones Jr
Nigel Benn
Mike Tyson
Sugar Ray Leonard
Josh Warrington
Oscar De La Hoya
Meldrick Taylor
Muhammad Ali
Sonny Liston
Derek Chisora
Joe Frazier

These are the first I thought of some of these are in my favourite boxers list some of them aren't, the ones that are Ali, Frazier, Leonard and De la Hoya

 

I do not think timeline should be played into this. I did not get up at 3AM to listen to Jack Dempsey on the radio over 100 years ago. but I do have a blast watching his theater film fights 100 years later.

He gave spine chilling screams a few times in his early career, non-TV, Eric Guy caught them on grainy hand held cam. At those times Eubank was fighting for his life with 0.00p/$0. Was just after stopping some opponents in tricky or tough fights on a few hours notice.

 

You are full of neat facts about Eubank Snr. Reminds me of that poster "Berry" or something who was at some capacity affiliated with Chris.

 

Speaking of the am hours - I had to get up at sparrow f*rt in my neck of the woods to see Mundine KO’d by Ottke. That was exciting. LOL.

Manny PAC is a lock answer for this question, imo.

Not that he should be on anyone’s list necessarily, but since I personally found him extremely exciting and entertaining - I would definitely offer up Kostya Tszyu also.

 

I believe the poster child for this thread is Matthew Saad Muhammad
