    When War came looking for Chris Eubank Senior, that was when he turned up.

    Anybody who has witnessed his career, cannot deny that he was a warrior of the highest order.

    Eubank Senior gave Joe Calzaghe his toughest fight, Calzaghe has admitted this

    Eubank Senior had a great career, and no bad loses in my opinion. To get a win against him, took everything out of his opponents.

    I don't think you have watched his career, it is easy to just look through his record and discredit him.

    I rate Eubank Senior as greater British Fighter than Tyson Fury. Without a doubt he was a greater Champion.

    I think it's the other way around.

    Most people praising Eubank's career actually haven't watched it.

    It's easy to look through his "18 title defenses" on Boxrec in 2022 when in reality his "title" was barely even legitimate.

    And like previously mentioned, some of those title defenses he was incredibly lucky to escape with the belt, especially agaisnt Ray Close, Watson and Schommer. Some of which weren't even ranked contenders.

    And the ideas of Eubank being a greater fighter than Tyson Fury is preposterous.

        The Eubank mindset is very different and somewhat unique is as much as I both fighters minds they are pugalistic overlords blessed with are rare DNA that places them both in a separate boxing dimension that other mere World Champions.

        Chris Snr ruled the coveted WBO, fighting the very best of domestic talent and euro bum has beens.

        Chris Jnr made the IBO his own fifedom by beating senseless old men and punch drunk Olympians.

        Who need Vegas or MSG when you have Brighton?
