    Chris Eubank was really struggling for sparring partners when he came back in 97 - Ronnie Davies usually sorted that out. So he looked for a guy who survived at Kronk and came through and came up with Dennis Andries, knowing Andries was one guy who could stand with him at full pelt.

    The International Boxing Federation (IBF) was established in 1983, which added to an already convoluted situation. Since the 1980s it has been common for most weight divisions to have three so-called world champions, and this has considerably diluted the championship class in boxing. ndries was a world champ before he joined kronk, it was after Hearns took the belt off him that he went to tye kronk.

    He shouldn`t have been going at full pelt, it`s dangerous.

    All fighters who had regular gym wars coincidentally.

    Eubank Sr is literally like superman. Zero effects to this day.

    A lot of boxers who seemed fine deteriorated all of a sudden as they grew older.
    Patterson and Chuvalo went from clear-eyed to walking corpses within years.

    Hope Eubank can get past 60 with his memory and motor functions intact.

    I think he`ll be alright because he was never knocked out.
    Being on the losing end of a KO punch can damage a lot more than a pugilist's pride—research suggests that the blows that cause knockouts can be debilitating to a boxer's short and long-term health. Repeated blows to the brain can cause chronic damage such as personality changes and dementia.

    I’m sure you’ve started this thread already and I’m pretty sure you actually are Eubank Snr @Bulldog24

    You’re either someone insanely narcissistic and self publicising or an insanely sycophantic fanboy..
