    Whether he was or wasn't, your mind is base. Brook did what he did in there, and he'll be remembered as such

    Yes ill educated.......in class and gentlemanly conduct.

    Im not talking about the usual cobblers about "selling tickets"...im talking about the genuine malice in the kid back than..that had nothing to do with selling tickets

    How was disrespectfully goading and squaring up to Eubanks a man hed never meet in the ring about selling tickets?

    Or mocking Belcastro a seasoned pro for 12 rounds... ...did calling colin hart colin fart sell tickets?....or goading claude abrams into a body spar before breaking abrams nose was that all about selling tickets? What about ordering a,west end prossie in a 5 star hotel than asking her to crawl on the floor for a while ? Hamed also called Benn a quitter after the collins fight to presumably sell tickets...

    As for his so called wisdom in retirement..Hamed raced a £200,000 sports car illegally to impress a business associate before writing it off and smashing into a working man breaking every bone in his body and ending up in prison.

    Still he was a youngster...i should probly shut up...not on calling a person ill educated...we're all educated in life..thats what counts

    And stil Hamed after prison has matured into a great businessman,family man and icon of British sport...he deserved a hall of fame place and is top3 british all time on my personal list...but during his career he could be a difficult kid :)

    Yes Eubanks had that link to 1st generation Windrush Jamaicans who were very smartly dressed,well spoken and educated people , hard working with somewhat Victorian British values....Eubanks was part of the 2nd generation ..and Eubanks parents were like many Windrush.....middle class in the Carribean not working class......so yes I think like you say Chris identified naturally cos of that with an upper class debonnaire character like Terry Thomas

    Utterly false.

    She said she had enough of Chris"s in her opinion grandstanding...she mentioned the incident where he drove his huge truck to Downing street to one man protest the Iraqi military occupation and advise tony blair that it would lead to a humanitarian disaster,a political vacumn and horrendous loss of life as well as costing the tax payer trillions....there was also that 2005 incident when Chris moved a beer delivery truck that was blocking parents from a school run...

    Still its not lost on me....she took supposed exception to these incidents only once hed retired and the money and paydays were gone..

    Eubank employed his worrier code in his business life and then went bankrupt

    But Eubank grew up working class, I like the fact that you mentioned his middle class Jamaican parents though because my dad was a middle class Jamaican and then met my Scottish working class mum.

    Maybe she took exception to him blowing his money, a lot of women control the purse strings in relationships.
