    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.

    Eubank is marginally superior. Marginally.

    :lol: 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. :lol:

    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.

    Hatton is damn overrated - but Eubank is the most horrifically overrated fighter in British history.

    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.

    Hmmm, Starie. I'll have a think about that one and get back to you.

    What's wrong? Run out of argument already?

    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
