Chris Eubank Sr on son, past rivals and Mayweather-Pacquiao

I caught up with European great Chris Eubank Sr in Vegas!

On his ultimate legacy
To my knowledge, theres never been another millionaire world champion boxer who never either got themselves incarcerated, or never used illegal substances, or never dodged the mandatory contender to evade a defeat, or never quit to evade a beating, or never got counted out.
When you ween the rest out, there is only one. And thats Chris Eubank. I want there to still only be one, Chris Eubank, in 10 or 50 years from now, but bodied twice in a second body; namely Junior. Hes the only one who will live up to the same standard set, because I raised him and teach him in the correct way and he possesses my DNA.
Can I just say: Muhammad Alis courageous, righteous stance in him being incarcerated is another level.

On re-living his career through his son, Chris Jr
I want Christopher to clean up my regrets, in my name. The plan always was to unify all four world titles and I never got around to doing thus. My son will fight and beat everyone. To basque myself in the Union Jack flag when winning overseas in an opponents backyard, was something I forgot to do and so wish I had. Christopher will do that.
Im going to enjoy the ride more than I ever enjoyed my own career, because I was so much in the thick of it then that I never really stopped to smell the roses.

On being the best in the world in his day
I believe in 1990 I wouldve beaten everyone apart from, physically and potentially, Herol Graham. I was too big, strong, fast and young for Michael McCallum if I moved and too tough, strong, determined and persistent for Mike Nunn if he moved. I did knock out Graham with one punch in sparring in his backyard but he wouldnt have fooled for the same trick twice, unless the people, lights and cameras caused an anxiety.
When I defended the middleweight world championship against Mike Watson in 91 when I won the first five rounds with ease, I had to lose 19lb in four days so couldnt stay at middleweight because Michael McCallum and James Toney wouldve stopped me on body shots in the later rounds!
Then the Watson II fatality left a mark on me, where its kind of like why risk?.

On his own favorite fighters as a youngster
My favorite fighters? When I was coming up it was Thomas Hearns I admired most for his jabbing ability, and Pernell Whitaker for being aesthetically pleasing.

On the Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao super-fight
Boxing is a game of strategy and a matter of styles. Floyd can box in different styles, he can walk you down or fight off the ropes, he can stick it to you or move side-to-side. It depends.
I dont like his(Mayweather) chances so much if he plants his feet too much because Manny Pacquiao is a lightning feinter which freezes you and he switches feet angles between then and releasing punches, which is why he is so effective when you dont keep him following and reaching.
We know Floyd must lose at some point. Amir Khan has a strong chance to take the 0 if he does get by this next one.

Still waiting for Floyd to lose though.

I dont see him beating Nunn, but Mike Mc DID struggle with speed (JJ, Curry, Herol, RJJ) & movement (Kalambay, Herol, RJJ).. Eubank had fast hands, fast feet..

Eubank admitted on another thread that Graham`s quick reflexes outdid his own when they sparred after Graham recovered from being knocked out in sparring by Eubank, the only two things Chris had over Grahan was power and a chin, Graham had faster hands and feet than Chris, he also stated after 5 rounds of McCallum trying to figure him out in sparring, Mike destroyed him with bodyshots which is why they never had a unification bout while both men held versions of the middleweight title.

It's the way Eubank counters, and Jones's leaping outside hook being wide enough.

Often you will see Eubank throw a counter at the exact moment the other person lunges in the punch, not after dodging the punch. No matter how good your reflexes are, it's going to be hard to dodge one of these punches. And with Eubanks power, it would probably be all over for Roy. If you look at the 15 second mark of this video, that quick right hand is exactly what I am talking about:

Otherwise I would favour Roy because of his pure speed and athletic talent. It's just that sneaky counter from Eubank that would end it.

All the KO`s on this vid are against low level fighters, the only decent fighter Eubank stopped at middle was Benn and he finished on his feet with one closed eye.

Yeah, Eubanks ballet-like balance on the back foot was unmatched (on the front foot probably the worst I've seen!!).

He changed direction and changed pace so well and so often, it was like he was gliding and unreadable. Undoubtedly the best ring general we've seen - it's why Mike McCallum gives the amateurs at Top Rank gym in Vegas DVDs of Eubank fights and asks them to study the ring generalship.

Unmatched?

Hark at this div, still chiming on and on and on about a load of nonsense that doesn't hold any weight

Max Thunder · Jan 15, 2019

Is it me or do all of these quotes about Eubank's greatness always come from Eubank himself.

Sphillips · Jan 15, 2019

He says ‘fatality’ when talking about Watson.

WTF?

channy · Jan 16, 2019

Beat mccallum my butt then why did he avoid him?

Ray Close owned his asre in my opinion.
