Is Eubank's chin the best of British world boxing champions over the last 25 years?

    That sequence was hilarious. Thompson got caught and did one of his weird reactions - hands dropped, slumped over with his head down.

    Eubank rushed in completely open like you say & Thompson looked up, completely alarmed, and managed to throw a right hander just in time which smashed Eubank straight in the mush.

    Eubank isn't even a Brit, however. He's of Jamaican heritage.

    Yes, Eubank is in a class of unknockoutables along with Ali. Sure you may knock him down but there isn't a man in history who could ever put Eubank to sleep. Prime Benn, youthful Calzaghe, Big Thompson, too many tried and they all failed.

    If Nigel Benn couldn't knock him out, nobody could.

    Not even a 210lb ripped Thompson could get him down when he had one eye and couldn't see the right hands....amazing.

    Come on, we've seen what weight draining can do to plenty of fighters.

    Eubank for me, the man was strong as an ox. Not many people hit harder than Benn at middle and Chris took them. He proved how good his chin was throughout his career.
    Froch's is proven and Naz, although hitting the deck a few times had a quality chin, partly due to his legs, which were huge for his size.



    What a **** statement. What world are you living in.

    "The real world."

    Do you think he would've had an iron mandible if he was a Brit? :rofl
