    He was a good fighter but he talks a lot of wank... He thinks he's a lot more intelligent than he is. Just because he thinks that he's a distinguished, intellectual man doesn't make it so.
    He has said plenty of ******ed things over the years.

    Chris Eubank and George Foreman give really good insight. Also i will mention these guys to Barry Barry Mcguigan, Jim Watt......

    Mike Tyson when he wants to give good insight can be really intelligent. But Tyson does not pay attention to today's boxing, and hardly watches the sport.

    Lennox Lewis is really simple and obvious with his insight.

    Shows you how his mind is set up, he was very to the point! as a fighter inside of the ring "Like a machine type robot" and outside

    Also Bernard Hopkins......."Listen to the whole interview, also Hopkins analyses other fighters from the past"

    See this is what I mean. When you listen to Eubank it's actually interesting. He's not one of those boring ****s that points out the obvious. Something any couch potato knows already. Most boxers are boring with their insights. They say things that make you go "no ****". "oh Amir Khan is a good fighter, hes got speed and power, blah blah blah but anything can happen in a boxing ring" Shut up.

    I remember that great lecture that Eubank gave on the Bunce Show, when David Price and Adam Booth were in the studio, about how money corrupts. Whatever you think of Eubank, and he is an eccentric character, you can't deny that he's more interesting to listen to than 90% of boxers.

    On James De Gale this is what he said: "I guarantee he will fail".

    Where is James De Gale these days? This olympic medalist. What happened to him? There you go.

    I agree with PK on Hopkins. Even though I think he's a bit of a twat, and loves his own voice, he is a good talker and does give some good insight. I find Lennox Lewis very boring.

    ^ David Price was mesmerised. Look at his face at 7.51. He may have found it a bit funny. I can even imagine him taking the **** out of Eubank in the car on the way home, but deep down he knows he is getting advice from a legend. He enjoyed that talk a lot.

    Look at how he speaks and how sharp he is. He spent 20 years getting punched in the head and his mind is on point.

    Thought he beat Benn in their return with Nigel only winning Round 4 and Round 9 clearly. Eubank won most of the rest with quicker hands and smarter infighting.

    On weight-training:

    “You box your best when your for 1) Relaxed, and for 2) Injury-free. Weight-training will tense you up, make your muscles tight and sore the following days and probably cause injury with only slightly incorrect lifting technique.

    “One’s time should be spent focusing on correct boxing technique and learning how to stay loose. It’s when you are loose that you perfect punching technique, and it’s when you perfect punching technique that you punch hardest.”

    On roadwork:

    “I would advocate a mix of beach running, grass hill sprinting, cycling and Versaclimber, rather than roadwork. I have first-hand experience what many long years of long tarmac runs can do to your knee joints.”

    On sparring:

    “Forget the rest, sparring is paramount. Getting in that four-cornered circle and trading two-way aggressive leather with a strong-chinned, big-hearted, hard-punching, heavy-handed, ghetto-living or working-class man will do far more for your progression than anything else you could care to contrive or contribute for consideration.”

    For strength:

    “For the lower body, I would do planks stretches with my martial arts tutor Walter leaning on my back, the guy I called ‘Doctor’. He gradually added more resistance right through my career, from my light-middleweight days near the start through my cruiserweight days at the end.

    “For the upper body and grip, I would do lots of rope climbing with no legs, play the guitar and piano and ring dishcloths.”

    For speed:

    “I would keep trying to break my 10-second, 20-second and 30-second records in most 6ft roundhouse kicks with the correct hip rotation. I did this when I was 19 to 22, and when I moved on to Ronnie Davies, I would direct Ronnie Davies where to place punch pads for me to throw consecutive single shots for speed and power, because I naturally had punching accuracy.”

    For stretching:

    “Very, very important to my success because stretches helped me with my breathing pattern and staying injury-free throughout training. It was also important for me to build great extension in the midrift, arms and legs, because I didn’t have the height and natural reach that a middleweight or super-middleweight who preferred an out of range, jab working style possessed.”
