    I seen the interview he gave Itv last year again today and he said that he wasn't that good. I think he ranks with the best of them in the UK all time list with Lewis, Calzaghe and Nas. His best attributes for me was his chin, his body toughness and the mental game he had in the ring.

    His chin, heart and underrated boxing skills.

    He also had a lot of power when he used it, i.e pre-Watson II.

    I think he had a lot of attributes.

    His chin is probably the most recognised - let's face it, most people would have been dead after 3 rounds of the first fight with Benn.

    He showed a lot of heart in both Benn fights and in the Collins and Thompson ones...... perhaps his greatest show of heart was in Watson II, despite the tragic consequences.

    All of the above. Throw in charisma and you've got it all.

    Lateral movement and his jab. His one-punch power wasn't too bad. Oh yes, and he had a very good chin and an awful lot of heart.

    He went 40 plus fights unbeaten, his fear of losing kept him on top of his game for a long time. Until of course he eventually lost to Steve Collins - but up until that point he had a long unbeaten run that he was scared of losing.

    I don't think it's about him not giving a ****, I think it's more about him sticking up for his mate. Dempsey pulled a proper ***** move there- most likely a result of some producer in his ear. Sky and reasoned debate never go hand in hand. They were all too willing to bash Tyson there but when it came to seeing the other side of the coin they baulked:-(.

    Eubank was a intelligent fighter - he always made sure he did just enough to get the win.
