I hate to give JUYJUY ammunition, but Eubank was not overrated, in fact if the tragic bout with Michael Watson hadn't of happened, i think Eubank would have kept the killer instinct he had, but things like that change the way boxers think, they're humun beings after all.

He was never the same after the first Benn fight,you dont stand in front of the most explosive hitter in the world with your hands down if your not abit crazy and Eubank was crazy to do that. Insane chin,but the Benn fight ruined him and the Watson fight was just the final nail in the coffin.

He, as well as Ricky Hatton had the same syndrome. Both guys fought their first five fights in the States...and never returned. He faced extremely soft opposition, and his most notable victory was over Nigel Benn.

That's all.

Do you even know who Chris Eubank is?

He was the most criticised man in the world of boxing by a country mile,he made it clear that he was only in the sport for the money. He hated boxing,and boxing hated him. He was ridiculed in the press,and grossly underrated due to sheer hatred of the guy. He famously called boxing a "mugs game". But how can you criticise a guy who made Ł 25 million from boxing alone? He was only in the game for the money and he achieved his goal!

Yeah,

A protected fighter from the U.K. who's only notable victory his entire career came over Nigel Benn.

A fighter who wasn't that great himself.

You clearly havent got a clue what your talking,and dont know who Nigel Benn WAS.

I'm not going to argue with another JuyJuy alternate account.

That makes two that have posted in this thread alone.

JUYJUY Im pretty sure is the guy who made this post.

[Orange Sneakers]

Not my post I mean this topic discussion,JUYJUY always went on about Chris too so Im pretty sure its yhim,and possibly Theone77 as well.

The guys who say Eubank was overrated are the same guys who said Hatton and Calzaghe were overrated, difference being that they had the chance to prove they wern't, where as Eubank only really had the Benn victory in his own country, and Benn wasn't American.

I think it's quite easy to criticise Eubank. While he obviously had talent and an unbelieveable chin he never went out of his way to prove it. For him it was all about the money and he made many meaningless defences of his titles to rack up all the money he could. He constantly talked about how boxing was a mugs game and tried to make out he was some gentleman and lord of the manor who was above it all, and would leave the game with his health and wealth intact. Yet he was actually just another poor kid who went through childrens homes and lived on the streets and is now actually broke because he has frittered all the money he earned from boxing away on ****** things.

He also only ever fought in spurts and had trouble with boxers who were relentless and exerted pressure throughout every minute of every round. I think this was partly due to the fact that he was notoriously lazy and did not like roadwork at all.

So you see it's quite easy to criticise Eubank...

I dont think Chris was lazy,he just had rubbish stamina. Also,consider that he was a maniac at losing weight and according to Ronnie(Davies) he literally fought dehydrated and before the second Collins fight Ronnie had been begging him for three years to move up to lightheavyweight. He walked around at 14 stone but never stopped training,so he was in training all year round and weighing 14 stone! Weeks before a fight he would increase intensity and days before a fight he would starve himself of food and water. So it was more to do with dehydration than laziness.

When you lose the kind of weight he had to lose and when you leave it until the last few days to lose the weight,he would of been dehydrated about halfway through the fight and that explains why he often stopped working after five or six rounds and his punches would become much sloppier than as sharp and accurate as they were in the early rounds.
