    Just so we are clear here. A 20 mile walk takes the average man in his 20s around 5 hours.

    So in other words he walked for 5 hours every day to kick off training...(insert stupid gullible face here)

    No, hence why he would sleep on the concrete steps. He went there to learn under Patrick Ford and spar different fighters.

    And for what it's worth, Eubank was far from the 'average man'!

    I read Teddy's book about 10 years ago. I can't remember him saying he boxed Eubank however I will look it up.

    Yup Eubank and Atlas fought according to Eubank. I think Eubank fought Mark Breland in an unofficial bout.

    One of the strangest most interesting people in.sports.Going to new York as a kid from England not knowing anyone else fighting to survive .If it was fictional it would be regarded as far fetched.
