Chris Eubank - Legend or Bell End

[Buzzer]

Agreed. He's as mad as the contents of Frank's underpants at a Women's Institute convention but he's Sussex through and through.

Leaving aside the boxing, Chris Eubank qualifies for legend status for that magical moment when, as guest TOTP presenter, he uttered the immortal words "at number Six, it's Suggs with Cecilia"

I thought his truck went back because he was made bankrupt

None of the vechicles are in his name. Thats why they couldnt be reclaimed.

 

[Yoda]

A legend for being a bell end.

Once, when working plain clothes in Brighton we were chasing a smackhead who had just stolen a pensioners purse and Chris Eubank let us jump in his jeep and chase him along the seafront, reulting in a decent nick. Good man.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

he's got arms the size of sides of beef, would not want to get in a scrap with him

He once clobbered a mugger in The Lanes as well. he was interviewed on local news - it was before he was particularly famous - and it was a typically funny interview, as he talked about it like a boxing match.

"I saw the man snatch the purse and run away, but he ran in my direction. I blocked his path, and then gave a left jab to the stomach, and a right cross. He went down, and stayed down."

Top man in my book, no two ways about it.

I seem to remember he was deducted 2 points for the headbutt and it immediately went to the judges cards, and despite the deduction he still won ... so I'm not sure about your assumption that "he was getting turned over."

Legend and top bloke.

He'd won the early rounds but the Challenger was getting on top when he butted him.Had it gone the distance then i don't reckon Eubank would have won, assuming the fight continued in the same manner.It was an act of desperation.Shame because that wasn't the Eubank i went to watch.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Eubank's most heroic fights were at the end went he stepped up a division , he was getting pasted and did not go down and I think was never floored in his career, heart of a Lion

EUBANK EUBANK EUBANK EUBANK

 

[Bakesy]

Legend!

Photo shows a svelte and boyish THPP in the ring with the boxing legend at the height of his fame (Eubank's fame that is). Several seconds earlier the interloper had attempted to climb through the ropes, but sadly left in a trailing right leg, falling arse over tit full length at the feet of the somewhat startled middleweight champion

Good recovery, mind

What IS that around your neck?

 

[cardboard]

i seven balled him at pool in the club he used to part own (the Hyde) near the Grenadier

He gave me £20 - He was rubbish at pool

Calzaghe dropped him I think.

There were times when he was just unbelievably brave, although by the end I was wishing he'd hang the gloves up, as his bravery could have killed him, he just wouldn't ever believe he was beaten.

Shame you didn't do it in the Brewery Tap.....he would've had to do a lap of the pool table with his trousers down.....would've been great on YouTube.

may have decked him but Eubank was never knocked out

 

[brighton rock]

GOOD BOXER watched him on ESPN the other night

 

[Simster]

Always liked him, even though he once winked at my wife as we stood on the pavement waiting for the traffic to clear and he passed in his gold Ferrari.

Tigerish, gritty fighter, a top showman and a comedy lisp. Good stuff.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

How VERY dare you.

It's a MANSCARF. Obviously.

 

[aftershavedave]

he's a very top man indeed

 

[Gritt23]

That's absolutely right. It was a flash knock down. He was straight up and boxing on. May have been first round, so just caught him a bit cold.

 

[Lokki 7]

he's Sussex through and through.

Apart from he was born in East Dulwich. As was I, which is why I remembered this incredibly dull fact.
