Eubank senior gets a bad rep but has anyone met him?

Did you teach him any moves?

 

I was a fan of Eubank as a kid. When everyone seemed to hate him, I thought he was great.

Nowadays it's too much for me. Pausing for half an hour mid conversation while he tries to think of a long word to replace the perfectly fine word he thought of first. I'm not sure if its just because I am older and more mature, or if he has got worse. Maybe a bit of both.

He was always honest about the Collins fights and why he lost though to his credit.

 

I think Eubanks a great character.

 

That`s what I find irritating about him, he got beat fair and square.

 

I agree with what you`re saying Eubank talks a pile of crap and I used to find him exciting, when I was a teenager, but he didn`t shake Collins hand after losing and told him to F-off after won of their bouts.

 

Dm me if you want a go. Happily drive half an hour down the road to smash your face in. What do you weigh?

 

I don't remember that at all. Not disputing what you're saying, I just don't remember. If true however, obviously that is not acceptable behaviour. It's the respect and culture of the sport which is a big part of the appeal for me as a fan.

Since retiring though when asked about Collins, he always is respectful of his former foe. I believe he said that Collins outfoxed him.

 

I don`t know if this off topic but I met Benn, Eubank`s arch rival in `89 and he was really charming,I also like his back story he told in an interview explaining why he was such an angry young man, it was due to his brother being killed by racists! He seems far more logical then Eubank who just likes the sound of his own voice, he reminds me of Ray Leonard, who just talks a load of rubbish about fighters, they asked him why he thought Garcia was going to beat Spence and all he said was 'because he`s Mikey Garcia'! what a stupid mindset.

 

He did say that, but it was Collins who said Eubank swear at him when he tried to shake his hand after their match in an interview after their bout, having said that it was a grudge match, kind of like when former middleweight champ Alan Minter met fellow Brit Tony Sibson in the early `80`s and the some years later on a youtube vid Sibson poses with Minter at some venue then tries to shake his hand but Minter blanks him and carries on drinking his pint.

 

I think you need your balls checked out!

 

About 1995 I was at high school and me and some mates went to Leicester Square as they had a fun fair in town. I ended up going on a ride that went round and round in circles and when I got off I was violently sick and could hardly walk. My mates left me on a park bench in a sick heap. Not sure how long after but I woke up and attempted to walk to Piccadilly Circus station to get a train home. On the pissed sicky walk there a massive lorry pulled up outside the trocadero and out jumped Chris eubank and everyone was like ‘wow it’s chris eubank!’ Meanwhile I was too ill to care and still couldn’t walk straight I ended up shoulder barging Chris and tried to apologise but was too sick to care with my head still spinning around.
