Chris Eubank really was a much hated fighter, not for his ability, for me, he was an absolute dream of a boxer/fighter but, he is what he is, an arrogant dick with a superiority complex, and he'll never get past that!

Yes Sir !!!

Eubank Benn and Watson. Great era. I believe Benn is a born again christian type. He lives not too far away from me in Sydney.

@TheShqipe98 I agree with that but, without exception, when they do get beaten, the 'Big Mouths' tend to look and sound the worst? Nasim Hamed is a good example?

21yrs old gd them ole heads were built different

@DrogbaLegend true... think money has spoiled all sports as well. But none more than boxing

It’s been nearly 100 years since split belts with the IBU, NYSAC and NBA. Now we have the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF. No one in living memory has seen undisputed champions in all weight classes at the same time. I would like anyone to show me when they saw one champ per weight class or the eight traditional weight classes. Split belts have been in boxing longer than it wasn’t.

@@mandarkastronomonov2962 nobody said anything about "undisputed champions in all weight classes at the same time". I would like you to shut the f_ck up

Roman Vega Tyson had three belts - the WBA, WBC and IBF. Francesco Damiani from Italy had the WBO.

Gerard Williams Lol. Firstly, I don’t know who you are, nor do I care, so your comment for me to shut up is totally disregarded. Secondly, the creator of the post said “How can there be three champions in a weight class?” You need to read before speaking. If you like me to shut up, shut it up in person. 😀👍🏼 Besides, I wasn’t talking to you. Mind your own business. 😀

He had a rock solid chin.

There wasn't a fighter in the world who enjoyed fighting him. 100 percent record at the middle division. Hit hard and was super fit. Stopped Benn and that took some doing. James Toney never shouted his name, even though he was fighting for peanuts.

@1nquisitive nobody is talking Hatton as the greatest British fighter of all time! Nobody.

Eubank simply the best.

Nigel Benn also did the same after his war with McClellan. Benn was never the same after that fight

I was thinking the same thing.

Jack Wilson Haha thats just Eubanks he’s a bit of a maverick

See:Hagler v Minter

And I as an English man am gutted he isn't over here. Ya Lucky buggers. And yea, if I remember the papers correctly, he went and visited him the day after the fight. Sat by his side for as long as he was allowed.. Benn felt some heavy guilt that day 😢

He was a cheat who won a big purse by head clash and caused an actual ring monster a brain bleed. The British boxing circuit was by and large a joke in this era so the first couple guys who weren't balding goofy looking bastards jumped the ladder.

Then he met Eubanks 😁

@@stevepalpatine2828 You're going to have to explain that one...

Benn didn't cause his brain injury... It was already there from the Julian Jackson fight !

yeah it is. helluva fight- only somebody got hurt. we didnt know in those days how bad tbi is and how easy it is to happen. but if you look back at the julian jackson fight- after the win gerald made a comment about julians punching power and having a headache during the post fight interview... it made me cringe- even back then.

Absolutely. Great comment.

I seen that fight when I was like 10 with my uncle and I watched it again when I got older Benn got away with a lot fouls in that fight I heard he dodged Roy Jones cuz he felt like he was going to kill him for what he did to Gerald

@Martin Calzaghe the undefeated champ 🥊 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 cymru am byth

They both done a great job of avoiding all the top Yanks while *Pretending* to be World Champions. Roy Jones smoked Sugar Boy Malinga inside 6 rounds, Benn had life n death *TWICE* with the same fighter, was beat by him once & Eubank got another of his debatable decisions against him. Reggie Johnson, James Toney, Michael Nunn, Bernard Hopkins & Roy Jones all mixed n matched to see who was the *Genuine* best in the World. Eubank n Benn were considered sparring partner material by them.

SPIDERM0OSE Benn put your best yank fighter in a wheelchair for the rest of his life lmao. Never disrespect the dark destroyer.

@@elshanks1578 Dry yer eyes ya wee cuckold Britistani Bitch Boy. Benn had a great night vs McClellan n McClellan had *GREAT* potential but he wasnt the best Yank out there when Benn beat him, Roy Jones was & unless you were around back then you can't even imagine how far ahead of the competition he was. Benn n Eubank both were great at European level, if you discount the Irishmen that beat them, Ray Close & Steve Collins. Benn n Eubank were great British level fighters, beyond that, they were Good at European level, Sparring partner level for the Yanks. James Toney n Michael Nunn both woulda mopped the floor with both of em n neither Nunn or Toney were anywhere close to Roy Jones.. #RealLife

I lived up the road from Benn in East End back in 80's He was a slugger, but his chin was suspect

@@WolfsH0ok Benn n Eubank were both good fighters but some people are trying to rewrite history about them. Benn fought a lotta bums n blew them away, then he fought Watson, genuinely a World title contender & Watson exposed him & the level he was truly at. Benn was flawed n ferocious, exciting but only against bums, he struggled with top class fighters. No shame in that, he struggled n over came a few top class fighters but he was never in the same conversation as James Toney or Roy Jones & neither him nor Eubank even pretended they were anywhere near either of those which is why they concentrated on each other, unknown Brazilians & a few over the hill Yank nearly men

Tommy Hearns is to me, the definition of Heart of a Lion.

Tyson is one of my favourite boxers but even I don't think you can rightly claim he had the heart of a lion even though he was the most exciting of all of them to watch.

@David Mc Hmmmm I wonder how many of the people that voted for him were old enough to have actually watched him fight rather than odd clips on UKposts?

@David Mc To you.

Ste Bee Roy Jones jr is missing 👍😷💪

You know that guy that robbed all his fighters blind? That was Don "the murderer" King.

Karma struck on the second Benn - Eubank fight. King had contracts that stated he would become manager of the winner and loser of the fight. They drew so he got no one and they got away from him.

Bob Arum. What about that guy? Good guy huh?

don king was poison...

Guy was terrible for boxing. People complain about "too many belts these days" but did you know that since the 1930s there have always been at least 2 champs per weight class. It was never a problem though because the belts were almost always unified. In the 70s, King realized you could make more money segregating the belts. Suddenly it became common to split the championship belts. That "innovation" was lead by King. He then started backing the IBF abd paying fir rankings. The mess boxing is in today is in large part the legacy of Don King.

HAHAHA

@slayingwicked Did you edit your comment because you tired half way through due to the weight of your clothes?

He would of made more money if he did.

Those heavy hands were all a needed to carry into that ring, Benn was a savage, my favorite fighter from across the pond

Haha. Wilder really went down in my cool book after that excuse. Same will happen next fight. Fury can take wonders punch but wilder can't take furys. Also Benn was savage. The eubank Benn fights were epic.

dan the man Watson yes absolutely I was waiting to hear some reference but nothing. Great vid all the same

@@daz090979 I loved Benn and Eubank but Watson was my idol

Appreciate response Pete. Agreed. I’m 40 now. My dad woke me up every time there was a fight throughout the 80’s (before most were taken from terrestrial networks and the PPV really kicked in) from Eubank, Bruno, Benn, Watson, Mcguiggan even Nazeem. I have very happy memories of those nights. It was a proper quality time with the old man. Great stuff. And again yeah the Watson omission is significant. SMH

@@ryangalloway2927 He does, considering he was brought up in children's homes he has turned out a fantastic role model for other children... a Gentleman !

These guys have away of sounding so refined when they are threatening to take your head off. It’s extraordinary. American boxers (including those from Latin America and Canada) are so used to the indignant street talk that they probably don’t take it seriously. But those British fighters are as tough as nails, and when they say they “shall destroy you,” they mean it.

I grew up near Liford Lane I remember people talking about Benn being there when I was a kid.

Benn was stitched up for that first Eubank fight - the weight cut meant he had no legs. Once he’d lost once, it rattled his confidence and eubank became his bogeyman.

@ray ray he is still in pretty good shape

Eubankth

@@cybertrophic I thought Benn won the rematch.they only gave it as a draw so they would do it again.

Eubanks was the superior boxing to be honest, he had that cat like stalking style, he also beat Watson twice, watson outclassed benn and k.o him when they fought, Eubanks dont get the credit he deserves he was a warrior, he even went the distance in a close fight against Carl Thompson in his prime at junior heavyweight, Carl Thompson whooped David Haye within 5 rounds when he was washed up
