Interesting Eubank Interview (NEW)

[GoogleMe]

Calzaghe actually hit hard when he was younger, but then his hands were so screwed he actually thought of quitting boxing. But he adapted a new style, and see where that brought him. Actually the young Calzaghe were a BEAST!

[General Zod]

well he lost to calzaghe, thompson, collins, watson in the first and benn in the rematch. judah has a great resume of losing as well. and im not sure how logan is a good win?

I thought he deserved to get the nod for Thompson one.

Eubank was always quite the character, he seems a decent guy, he's very eccentric though.

Any brits ever see his Reality show?

I watched it, he came accross very honest, soft and quite fragile. Trying to tell his wife "I work you look after the kids its the way its always been, but you don`t bloody work do you Chris. Poncing about isn`t work"

He then almost cries.

Yeah, there was the Louis Theroux documentary as well.

The MW and SMW divisions had a lot of class fighters back then and Eubank cherry picked some opponents thanks to the cushy SKY deal he was given. But he fought some absolute wars in between and made the absolute most of his talent. The Watson and Benn fights had massive TV audiences in the UK. I think 14 million peak? Incredible fights as well.

I can see why he avoided Toney and MacCallum to be fair. Toney was an awesome SMW back then and MacCallum was ATG material even then and would have beaten him. Eubank has also admitted he avoided Herol Graham probably due to the high risk low reward factor and the fact that Graham was probably the best pure boxer of that UK MW era.
