According to Christopher himself, he was just trying to honour him and appear humble. Chris wouldn't lie, he's known for his integrity, isn't he.
He also pulled Lennie aside after the talk with Jr, off-camera and told him the crack, though ultimately Jr did box didn't he
Eubanks subtle head slips were the best we've seen, almost all nice long jabs (Watson, Rocky, Malinga etc) would brush his ear and he'd even raise an eyebrow as it skimmed past. Extremely skilful. That's a huge issue for Monzon, realistically, as he relied on his range being found.
Briscoe would beat the **** outta Eubank, he's like a harder hitting, tougher, better conditioned Benn.
His fans annoy me more than he does. He's put in far too many matchups with all time greats, where he doesn't belong. He belongs in mythical matchups with Jermain Taylor, Kelly Pavlik level guys, not friggin a top 20 all time P4P great like Monzon.
I can't put anyone over Benn in terms of brute force at the original 160lb. I saw it up close. It was like nothing.
