Good comment. Thanks for you're honesty. I changed my original opinion of Chris also. He'll probably only receive the respect and once he's no longer with us. A complete one off. One of the best Brit's to ever do it at middle weight.
Used to hate him for I thought was arrogance but now I absolutely love him the way he dresses his attitude retro appearance and I admire how he believes in himself no matter what people think of him ,could listen to him all day long ,quality guy👍
*Honestly he was incredible*
A unique character. Appears nutty at times but unquestionably his own man and a truly great champion.
This is the true Eubanks when he's not selling fights for his son . He is a legend and humble. What a warrior
Though he looks like a ninja turtle, he's a national treasure, marching to his own drum. An amazing fighter.
"Two lions don't share the same patch". Legend. Always admired Eubank and still do. This man is a sage and his eloquence, insight and wisdom increases year on year. He would baffle Confucius. I bet Johnny Nelson and his mate felt like they'd done twelve rounds after that interview. God bless Chris Eubank.
Truth, & integrity, Chris should be listened to and emulated, these values are hard to find in men today
He looks exactly like he did back in the 1990's just without hair lmao

Eubank never lets people cut him off. Legend
"How would you like to be remembered Chris?" "In a fight I couldnt win, I got up".
What a beautifully poetic and strange paradox this man is.
Was a very very tough man in the ring and I have huge respect for him as a fighter. Loved how he kept Smith from butting in.
I like how honest he is about his losses. Very humble in defeat.
I respect him for admitting that he lost the killer finishing instinct.

Why did that twerp interrupt him as he was in the middle of that speech? What a silly silly man
In his heyday no-one took time to listen to him all they wanted to do was hate because of his "stage" arrogance. But now he's retired you can only listen to him and he's such an exacting man. He's one of a kind. True pro in the ring and out of the ring. What a role model!

Can’t hate this guy.. who can explain it better? No one. I was so privileged in the amateurs to share the ring and many many training sessions, runing and sprits session with JR and every time his father came to our gym was just incredible. He once told me your duty as a fighter isn’t just to be a champion in boxing but in life in its self. Never forget those words from him.
Knowing after 6 rounds a man is to good for you and you still carry on that's next level guts and heart
Could listen to this man all day. Legend
In a fight I couldn't win, I still got up. Great words , great guy.
One of the greatest , he was hard working and a student of the art and respected what it took to get where he went and is going. Extremely transparent
I could listen to Chris all day, he's such a wise man
I could listen to Chris Eubank all day. No matter your opinion of him, you can never detract from his skill in the ring, his honesty and character, in and out of the ring. A gentleman who I would feel privileged to meet.
Chris looks so good! What an excellent gentleman.
In a fight I couldn’t win I always got up . What a true legend ! love him or hate him , that quote is up for argument.
Respect to Eubank for admitting Collins got to him about what did he do for Africa ! And also for admitting he couldn't beat Collins in the second fight !
Chris Eubank is an outstanding man! I could listen to him forever. Old fashioned common decency. A truly dying art
Wow! I wasn't a fan during his career, rooted for Watson, then Benn. But I have to say this is one of the most thoughtful and intelligent interviews that I've ever heard from a boxer. Much respect to Chris Eubank who was not only a great warrior but a beautiful human being.
Always loved Chris growing up. Mesmerising to watch
Loved watching him fight back then, Saturday night ITV boxing, those were the days. Was not the same boxer after Watson 2.
The legend of a legendary era for British boxing.
his honesty on it all,, is so good to hear
I think he has a few IQ points above average at best but he has a strong system of thought and self reflection which over the years has allowed him to accumulate knowledge (and vocabulary) in a very functional way. Couple that with a great boxing career and an eclectic and sometimes terrible dress sense... He's definitely one of life's more interesting characters; and I think he's fantastic.

Guy was good because he had no weakness. A solid boxer who lacked nothing and work ethic made him a real rock in the ring. Great boxer no matter what you think of him
The fellow I knockout in 20 seconds… including the count… always a pleasure Absolute class 😂😂
Great man and I love listening to him. One of the best super middleweights this country has ever had.
A true gent and a true champion glad I was around to watch him 🥊🥊
British boxing needed a character like Eubank Snr what a geezer secondly he could have a tear up or a boxing match and everyone knows what a chin he had! Jr smashed up Chunky and he had him running all night long!
What a fine gentleman Chris is. Hearing him praise Watson in the manner he did was so beautiful. Chris is a great fighter but a better man.

If you are unsure, go read his book which is mentioned at the start. Read it years ago and I think I recall how he said he had to jabs for 2 years. Yes, only jabs. Much more than that obvs but a great respect for a great man.
I really have a lot of respect for this man. He truly is a man.
As weird as u may think he’s talking if u pin ur ears back man has more sense than any boxer been whacked about as much as he does ... great guy good for all of us to see him grow as a human completely different animal now we seen him grow sometimes waffles in terms most don’t understand tho good guy good dad 🤝👏💪🏻
He may be rather eccentric, but there is no doubt that he is a great warrior. And loved how he took control of this interview :) Much respect to you Chris!
