Who is the most arrogant

[GEOFFHAYES]

Eubank: "Gentlemen, I'm far superior to every one of you in this room. I know nobody is perfect, but I honestly feel I'm closer to perfect than anybody I know of."

You can't get more arrogant than that! Eubank is the most arrogant man who ever boxed, and the thing is, you knew he truly, actually, genuinely believed it too.

I think that the most arrogant I've ever seen is Audly Harrison. He talked about transcending the sport of boxing and **** like that.

He's just an idiot.

Naseem was a fake, he wasn't half as arrogant as he seemed imo and in many ways Eubank's great pretender.

Eubank was plain loopey and foolhardy but genuine with it. His mannerisms and his allegiance to the phrase "In accordance with" was all as a result of an inferiority complex, in my opinion. His lisp meant that he couldn't be accepted as a hard-man, so he adopted the opposite route: he humiliated his opponents with his superior wit and intimidated them with his (bizarre) confidence. In the world of celebrity and show-business, Eubank found a world that was far more accepting than anywhere else he'd been in.

Because Eubank was so different from anyone else, he became REALLY delusional. Eubank believed (and still believes) that he was different from any other fighter. He was convinced that he'd never have to fight beyond his prime to pay the bills, or lose to fighters that he'd beat in his prime. Like most fighters who believe this, he was proven very wrong. Eubank earnt more than any of his contemporaries, and was savvy at getting obscene cash out of promoters with minimum fuss, but didn't know how to retain the dosh when he had it.

My favourite Eubank anecdote was when a bicycle tour was travelling through Brighton. A crowd naturally assembled on the path of the tour, which coincidentally was also Eubank's early morning roadwork route. As he passed the crowd, he was encouraged that a whole crowd had assembled to watch him train, and waved to them, oblivious to all the cyclists which were desperately trying to avoid him.

My favourite Eubank quote was from when he was asked if Don King exploited boxers- "I'm not the man to ask: I exploit promoters." I suspect Frank Warren took a lot of pleasure by matching an old Eubank with Joe Calzaghe.

I think Toney's "I'll fight anyone at any weight, anytime, anywhere. I don't care if you're a flyweight or heavyweight I'm whippin your ass"

Prior to his fight with Washington that made me realize that he was slowly becoming the most arrogant fighter of all time.

He probably is, because of the moving up to heavyweight thing.

That was pretty funny. lol

With Toney I don't think believes (or means) **** he comes out with, any **** he comes out with, he just hates the world.

Vitali Klitschko? Most arrogant? LOL You guys should have had some respect and just shut the **** up. If I was Vitali and some guys were hanging out talking while I was tense before a fight, of course I'd be pissed off.

I wouldn't call that arrogance, I'd call it being completely focused on a fight and not wanting to deal with anything else aside from it.
