    Conor Benn is way more easy to dislike. He’s arrogant, rude and isn’t even very good at boxing.

    Being slightly less of a dick than Conor Benn still makes you a monumental dick.

    I hope he wins though.

    Because, despite Connor being a hot head he's actually OK and would probably help you if you were being mugged.

    Whereas Chris would urinate on you and laugh.as he did it.

    Why is Eubank the bad guy? It's something he's carried throughout his career.

    1) Think's he's better than he is.
    2) Think's the IBO is a legitimate world title
    3) He brags way too much over his lifestyle on social media.
    4) Deluded himself thinking he was the only man that could stop GGG and Canelo
    5) Spent years crying over the fact Brook took the fight over him because he lost his pen.
    6) Deluded himself into thinking he beat Groves.
    7) Conned the British public and boxing fans for far too long.
    8) Think's it's cool to slap an egg across another fans face, whether you think he's a cheat or not....show some class, you're making millions from the fight because your last name is Eubank.

    Do I need to go on?

    GGG or Canelo would probably stop him. Fantastic fight tonight, but come on. That was two well matched second tier fighters. Neither man is as good as their father. Get a time machine and Eubank Sr would stop Connor Benn, and Nigel Benn would stop Eubank Jr.

    Vast majority of those apply to nearly all boxers in some way

    He’s not, it’s because he’s intelligent. Most people are dumb and view intelligence as arrogance. They prefer dumb people like Benn who can only regurgitate easy catchphrases such as ‘you’re getting knocked spark out’.

    I don't care that much either way, they all play up their characters. I only really like Nigel Benn out of the lot, honestly

    I met Benn once at an amateur show and thought he was a fkn legend.

    I'm not sure that very many people at all know or care what he's like.
