    Was his "Legend" status not intact prior to the Book? We're talking boxing skills, not literary skills. This is not meant to be a cheap shot, I'm just trying to keep it focussed on his career as an active fighter, which is what his "Legend" is measured by (at least on this site).

      What a ****** question. Yes ofcourse he's a well-known legend in Britain, he's Chris Eubank!

        Chris Eubank was the games great showman ... there was nobody in the world of boxing who had his charisma and he kind of changed the boxing world in a way ... he put a lot into the game!

          Eubank was a good fighter, many Americans don't know him well. The only think that bothers me about Eubank is that he never had the big fights in America, I would've loved to see Eubank against some of the great fighters at that time. We would've had some great fights, it's shame it never happen. We sure did have many great fighter at that time, it wasn't like the Borekins era.

            In all honesty Eubank only saw boxing as a business and nothing more than business ... Eubank honestly does not care how he is remembered as a boxer and he did not care about being in the history books at all he just didnt care ... Eubank was purely in the game for the money and he was inspired by an american wrestler called Gorgeous George: the customers will pay top dollar to see the downfall of an obnoxious fighter

            Eubank admits to being a " narcissist " though because he watches his fights every day!
