Eubank Sr Interview Nov '19 admits ducking fighters!

[PRINCEKOOL]

Chris Eubank is very modest when he speaks of his own ability, he probably has the best punch resistance of ANY fighter in the 90's 'Was a underrated boxer, very awkard with elite level punching power' Not a easy fighter to beat when he was 100% motivated.

I would only really pick Roy Jones Junior to most certainty beat him, stylistically I don't really see James Toney, Bernard Hopkins frightening him too much 'Those fights are 50/50'.

People who are stating that Eubank & Benn never wanted to fight the best? Chris Eubank & Nigel Benn where the best, fighters needed to come and challenge them 'These two men where not challengers'

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

I don't think anyone was in a rush to fight Gerald McClellan!

McClellan was a mandatory, and was never close to the level of Roy, Toney, McCallum, Nunn etc in terms of skill level.

Benn and Eubank both knew they’d be completely exposed against the higher skilled guys, and that’s why they avoided them.

How where they the best, they were never EVER the top 2 in any of their divisions.

The WBO belt was barely relevant in the 90’s.

Did you actually follow boxing back then?

That's your own subjective opinion

Nunn was number one contender and Benn was told by King he'd have to take less money to fight him than he made in his previous defense, knowing Benn wouldn't accept that. King then said if you don't fight Nunn, I'll make McClellan mandatory instead as punishment. He knew Benn would react with '****ing bring him on then!'

There was nobody else in world boxing who would fight McClellan.

All subjective. Nobody unified the division. Certainly Eubank and Benn made far more money than the American based fighters back then.

I felt Benn's one-round destruction of Iran was significant considering Barkley for me drew with Duran (best fighter ever) and Nunn (lb4lb #1 ahead of Tyson with KO mag) in his previous two fights for
WBC and IBF versions

Not subjective whatsoever. Check any legitimate rankings board.

What’s money got to do with it? That’s like saying Amir Khan is greater than Terence Crawford.

Very delusional...

On what basis is Duran the greatest?😂😂

Majorly reaching here mate.

Of course its subjective, its human opinion you dope. Objective = real life not fantasy.

They were the champions in their own right, just like Nunn or Toney were. None of them were ever the others mandatory. What's fact is that on ITV's 1992 year-end show, Arum said he wouldn't let Nunn, Toney or Barkley fight Eubank in 1993 because Chris had too much of an awkward style that would make them look bad on TVKO ppv.

On mine! So do one!
