Any Questions For Chris Eubank?

[Nigerian Nightmare]

I read in the latest issue of The Ring that Chris Eubank is in financial difficulty and had to sell his £4 mill house! He seamingly owes money from unpaid tax aswell. It was in the Ring news section just before the ratings page where they tell you everything that is happening related to boxing!

[JUYJUY]

So has he answered these questions yet or what?

What's his email address eXig3??

Do you think you would beat Roy Jones Jr in his prime?
I doubt I would of beaten Roy Jones in his prime. However I doubt he would of beaten yours truly when yours truly was in his prime when Roy Jones was not so seasoned.

How would you rate Floyd Mayweather with all time greats?
He's as good as anything I've seen

Chris



Is there anyone nowadays in super middle - light heavy that could of beat you in your prime?
It would be unfair of me to answer that because 1) I don't know enough about todays boxing and 2) There are no time machines to prove anything

Who were the fighters you admired as a child. And how did that change, as you became a professional. Did you respect the likes of Naseem Hamed, Nigel Benn (obviously so, i think), Lennox Lewis, Steve Collins. And what do you think of the most recent arrivals to the scene (ie Amir Khan)?
I didn't know boxing when I was a child but I knew Muhammad Ali and from what I saw him when I was child he truly did float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. When I started boxing I admired a local fighter called Dennis Cruz, I started admiring the jab of Thomas Hearns and I admired Pernell Whitaker. I liked hearing about Jack Johnson, Joe Louis, Max Smelling. I borrowed footage of Kid Chocolate who I really liked to watch. I also had VHS of bio of Kid Chocolate when I was 16. I will also say Bruce Lee because he was a philosopher as well as an artist, which became the same with me too.

I've known Naz since he was 14, he turned up at my wedding uninvited when he was 16. I had a mobile cellphone back then and he used to ring me up all the time, I paid his familys house telephone bill for it. I'll always care for little Naz.

Lenny (Lennox) is a very good friend of mine on a personal level outside boxing, we spend a lot of time together.

Nigel was a great fighter.

Amir Khan needs some fine-tuning. He always pulls back with his chin real high and his hands low. He does this at awful times too. I saw him on the inside with Carey, instead of pivoting to the side he pulls back. I would say too his steps are too extreme, in both his fights when he is side stepping out of trouble he is actually rocking looking like the leaning tower of pisa. Subtle steps will be fine.

Who were your sparring partners during your championship reign? Also.. Who was the best you ever fought and what was your toughest fight? And one last question, were you ever close to fighting Roy Jones Jr and do you think you could of beaten him?
Some guys called Victor Cordoba and Chris Pyatt worked as my sparring partners, they got paid for it.

The Michael Watson fight was my toughest both mentally and physically, I was in the best shape of my life for the fight (Watson II fight) but he just seemed to be superhuman on the night.

Roy Jones actually ducked me when I was at the end of my career, he told his manager "Don't let Eubank anywhere near me!". He knew I could give him fits. I doubt I could of beaten him, but its better to know you've lost than not to know you've won. That's why I wanted the fight, I had nothing to lose at the time.



He had several close, controversial decisions(Watson 1, one of the Close fights, draw with Benn 2, Dan Schommer there's probably another couple) so I'd ask him if he HONESTLY thinks he won all of those.
Hi. On close examination of Watson I, you will notice that Michael did not quite do enough to avoid narrow defeat. Benn did enough to beat me in the Benn II fight only when you take away the low blows, so a draw was fair no problem. Ray Close certainly did not deserve a draw with yours truly, I won that fight comfortably enough even though I gave away the middle rounds. But I would of had no complaints with a draw in the Schommer fight, you see it was 6,000 feet above sea level and I could not cope with that altitude.

How do you think Steve Collins would of done against Roy Jones? What do you think about those who disrespect the WBO? Why didnt you push for unification fights?
Lets say if Collins didn't play mind games and if Roy Jones was in the right frame of mind then you will have to say its a joke question, Collins cannot win. I let Collins get away in the 10th round when I had him hurt, and in any case I was robbed that night. And in any case had he not played his mind games the fight would of been confirmed yet another Chris Eubank win a good while before the 10th round would even of come along, even though it would of still gone the full 12 round duration. Collins was clumsy while Roy Jones had quick hands and feet, Roy Jones had the advantage in youth and freshness.

I will say that the fighter makes the belt, not the other way round. I know I was better champion material than any other boxer of my time.

These unify of the belts you speak about, I would of done any of that if the promoters made it worth my while.



Mr Eubank, is it true that your son wants to become a boxer?
And how's Alex?
Boxing is barbaric and I would rather my children choose other sports. Not sure which Alex you speak of



Did you mean to play the role of bad guy and was it planned?
I was inspired by Gorgeous George (and Bertie Wooster).

Chris



Do you think you retired at the right time and were you ever tempted to come back out of retirement?
Of course people were glad to see the back of me when I retired after Collins beat me because my posturing had annoyed and tormented the fans for so many years. But when I came back, people then accepted my posturing as a form of entertainment that the sport had lacked since my retirement. In my cruiserweight adventure I showed grit, grit that had gone missing since I stopped Benn and Watson. I made more friends while losing and it was the right time to call it a day.

Of course I have been tempted to come back.

Chris



If someone were to ask you for some good fights to watch involving a british fighter or british fighters then what fights would you recommend to them?
Any five fights from Benn or Thompson.
