Who is the UK's best boxer of the last 30 years?

Benn, Stretch and Watson sold the tickets. Selling out Olympia, NEC and Earls Court at £75 a pop, despite them being on free TV! Stretch the model was in the tabloids a lot, dating glam celeb ladies.

Mike McCallum literally brought nothing to the table. And Graham kept losing.

 

McCallum-Graham struggled to sell-out the 2,000-seat Albert Hall.

 

Herol Graham was easily world class.

 

The equivalent of about £300 today?

 

BB - don't boost his ego - he's not Eubank. He's got a couple of alts on another forum. I watched Graham and Eubank spar and he was trying to tell me what year it was (he was 3 years out!)

 

I watched Tony Collins frustrate Eubank in 1988. Word got back to Fish Eyes and Fish Eyes pulled out of signing Eubank because of this.

The truth is that Tony Collins simply ran like a rabbit, held on like a wrestler, mouthed off like a child, tapped him like a girl and ran again. Eubank simply wanted a toe-to-toe spar and Collins was too much of a coward.

That Tony somehow 'schooled' Eubank is as ridiculous as saying Dan Sherry schooled him.

 

Calzaghe was a bloated shell of himself when he beat them both and was better when he was in his prime.
do you really also think the Hopkins that looked poor against Jones, who was put down twice in a draw against Mercado would have beaten the Hopkins who dominated LHW champ Tarver? I dont

 

Bloated shell? But he was THE MAN at LHW! :roll::roll:

 

If that isn't Chris himself, man, that is sad!

 

Tells you just how good he was. As a bloated, brittle handed fighter at the end of his career, he was still able to win. Similar to the excellent Floyd Mayweather, who was able to win when past best

 

Yet you think he's the 2nd best British boxer ever? Now who's deluded....

OWNED!

 

Can't stand his personality. Where did I say I thought he was ****e?

 

Or how weak LHW was? Or that he didn't face Chad Dawson in his prime?

You choose..

 

Wow big scary glass jaw Chad Dawson, I'm sure Joe was quaking in his boots. Especially after he got schooled by Glen Johnson :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

For the record, Barry tried making Eubank-Steve Collins (in Boston), Eubank-Tony Collins and Eubank-Chris Pyatt for the WBO world middleweight title, but none of the three were interested, Tony and Pyatt feeling Eubank was too strong, and Steve because he would lose his WBA ranking and not wanting the WBO version of the same title.

Bob Arum went on ITV on the 1992 year-end show stating that his fighters Toney and Nunn were going nowhere near Eubank because Eubank had too much of an awkward style and would make them look bad on PPV (TVKO). Eubank had called for Nunn, Barkley and Toney, said he'd fight them one after the other in 1993!

Roy Jones has admitted the one fighter he was always wary of facing was Eubank.

Eubank knocked Graham out cold in Brendan Ingle's gym when he was still a novice.

He brutally beat Benn into submission, who beat Barkley and McClellan.

He beat Graciano Rocchi hands down in BERLIN.

Watson on the night of their second fight looked literally unbeatable, would've beaten anyone basically (walking through power shots without blinking, throwing five-punch power combos all night from all angles!?).

Dues.
