No but i liked him and thought he was great for british and world boxing for sure. He had a good style to watch and was in some great BRITISH tear ups. Worth his weight in gold.
Hilarious. And Eubank couldn't fight off the front-foot? Give over. If that's your criteria, please go and show me some footage of Hatton boxing amazingly off the back foot. Thought not.
I stopped taking this guy seriously when I saw that overrated brawler Hatton on the list. And this coming from a guy who likes Hatton.. Im sure someone else has already asked you but ARE YOU SERIOUS?!??!
Find ANY fight of Eubank's where he consistently fought off the front foot as effectively as Hatton did off the back foot against Ben Tackie. And don't use the fact that Tackie is mediocre as an excuse - most of Eubank's opponents were significantly worse.
Eubank and Naz are my 2 favourite british fighters by far. Hard to say who was the best Brit fighter.
Go and find a hole somewhere, its ok to hate a fighter but dont let your own personal hate get in the way of your judgement. I hate Hopkins but i still respect him. :think
I don't hate Eubank, the man was a great personality without being a jackass, and God knows we need more of those. But as a boxer, he simply wasn't that good.
You forgot: Paul Weir Takaloo Frank Bruno Peter "The Professor" Buckley Buster Keeton David Starie Big Enzo Mac Maccarinelli John McDermott Willie "Hands of Stone" Limond Young Mutley Howard Eastman's brother The fat guy that beat Danny Williams in Prizefighter Scott Quigg Herbie Hide Matthew Hatton
Hmmm, Starie. I'll have a think about that one and get back to you. What's wrong? Run out of argument already?
O well everyone has a opinion thats what makes it interesting, what you think of Nigel Benn, now he was one of my top british fighters i went and watched him a few times.?
I've only seen a few rounds of Hatton versus Tackie and I don't remember him consistently fighting off the back-foot at all. Ali struggled to lead and be the aggressor aswell, I guess Hatton is more skilled than him too?
I'm just refusing to dignify your horribly ******ed argument by answering you properly. You said Dean Francis had better ability than Chris Eubank. To me, that equals no credibility whatsover. Who had greater ability in your eyes: Eubank or Matt Skelton? :huh
