Who is the most arrogant

[GEOFFHAYES]

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.

So your saying he was a confidence trickster? I don't know what your saying.

I do know that he considered himself a true boxing master at one point, even saying "Your going to be watching the best fighter in the world tonight" on NBC-TV in the US, when he was fighting on an Azumah Nelson undercard on Bombfire Night. That's when he was watching his own fights over and over and deeply in love with himself as a boxer. I think he sort of transformed in 90/91 though into deeply loving himself as a person more so than a boxer and actually feeling it would be an insult to be considered a master boxer (because he thought he was bigger than boxing, better than boxing, too good for boxing).

How big were Chris Eubank's neck and waist in his prime? You're not allowed to check the internet.

How big were Chris Eubank's neck and waist in his prime? You're not allowed to check the internet.

I'm guessing his neck was, maybe 17.25 inches and his waist I don't know, 32?

[GEOFFHAYES]

He had a well-muscled neck. His chest measure would of been big, he had very big lat muscles by '93.

Assuming his 'prime' was '93, which it wasn't.

Naseem,Tarver and Toney just seem like absolute ****ing arse-bandits

[Kid Achilles]

Eubank had an awesome physique and looked strong as hell for his weight. Who do you have in an armwrestling match, Eubank or Nigel Benn? An eating contest? How about in a "yo mama" style insult-off?

[GEOFFHAYES]

Benn in all three.

Benn was barbell curling 100kg for reps the first time he ever tried, guy was just naturally strong. Benn was a massive eater, like five big meals a day during camp. Eubank only ate once a day. And Eubank was sophisticated, not a "yo mama" man.

[Shanus]

Eubank would win the "Yo mama' contest, I remember him forcefully saying "If ever you spoke about my mother in that manor, I will end you".

True story, he would aswell.

[GEOFFHAYES]

He could punch with "two tonnes of pressure".
