    I've just sat and watched that second video ( Sports life stories )
    and it was really great to see Eubank & Benn @ 38 minutes greeting each other.

    What a shame it is that Ali & Frazier couldn't have patched it up like that.

    Yeah, making racial remarks to black men really take the fight out of em. Soothes them right into a coma.

    Man, that super-middleweights the gloves are off thing was a wild strumash, not the best. Is there a picture of them all together?

    I love Eubank. Totally underrated. He didnt help his detractors by fighting down to his level of opposition sometimes but he was pretty much the complete package. Britain should be proud of him.

    Well it's a good job the " I'll never lose to a white boy " comment by Hopkins didn't undermine Calzaghe then isn't it?

    Eubank = Fruit Loop, but an entertaining one.

    Just earlier this evening I was watching footage of his son's recent fight, and Eubank with a dead straight face claimed " This boy will be better than Mayweather, believe me. "

    Seconded. Eubank made the sport more fun.... and he backed up his act with skill and balls.

    Saw something on youtube that gathered he, Benn, Collins and a couple others (Woodhall?).... Anyway, Collins comes off as a total ***** and a bit brain damaged.

    "Steve's planned racial assault caused me to want to inflict damage on Steve Collins the man, rather than score points against Steve Collins the boxer. He wasn't in my class but was dishonestly clever, the first fighter to get under my skin." - Eubank

    Damn I miss Eubank's flat top, high top fade, whatever the hell you wanted to call that.

    Why didn't he have more titles fights outside England? He could have been a far bigger name in the States if he had.

    He couldn't find a way in.. He never wanted to be tied to Don King for a start, and Arum would've insisted on him fighting Nunn, Toney, McCallum, Jones.....! Bad luck that he was around when the best P4P fighters on the planet were all in his weight!
