Eubank: 'Hopkins the best pound4pound fighter'

[Haglerwins]

Hopkins stay winning.

[Roger Mellie]

The most surprising thing about Eubank is that for all his projection of intellect,he has managed to fritter away all his cash.

jones would have killed him

I know that you are not the sharpest chisel in the toolbox,but you have surpassed yourself with that gem.Beat him,I dont doubt,but murder him? c'mon,did you even see Eubank fight when he was at his best? We all know he was eccentric,a bit of a wierdo even,but he was tough as nails,and an extremely talented boxer who could also crack bloody hard.

I guess the Brits are going to have to respect him now. Isn't Eubank godlike to them?

No,he is not particularly liked,respected,but not liked.Benn was the fighter the british public loved because he would fight anyone,anywhere and would always be trying to smash his opponents to bits.Eubank,on the other hand,lost that killer instinct after watson regardless of what he says in that interview.The worst thing he did though,was signed this 11 fight deal with sky that saw him paid at least a million quid for each fight.The problem with that,was that most of those fights he seemed to fight like they were exhibitions.Crap opponents,and crap to watch.I remember at the time that although Eubank was known to everybody in this country,even those with no interest in boxing,he was looked at as a bit of a joke,because Nigel Benn was having real fights,and talked like a real fighter.The cut glass accent(with a lisp) and the monocle made him look a bit silly.Even in his own town he used to piss people off,because he used to park his massive juggernaut wherever he wanted! now that he is broke,the good people of brighton can park their cars again.Happy days!

Hopkins is a great, great boxer. Even when he loses he doesn't really lose. The guys never been hurt, cut, or in trouble against the best fighters and he's still active at 44 at the highest level. What the ****?

Even atheists accept that Chris Eubank exists.

That tells you all you need to know about who the real Messiah is.
