No matter what your thoughts are on Eubank no one can ever deny he had an Iron chin and the heart of a lion. A hard hard man.

[@petermorrissey8497]

I agree, no quit in him.

[@brianmason8059]

I was too young to remember his fights but I heard he Ducked a lot of the top boxer's of his era

[@alexmacinnes8321]

As you said, Chris had the heart of a lion.

[@martytdd1606]

@@brianmason8059 After he maimed Michael Watson at 168 in 1991, he definintely had no interest in testing himself further. Even held back in fights were he couldv'e forced a stoppage.

[@stephenobrien5909]

I said that to myself near the end of the round. He was almost as brave as his corner who would have sent him out for the next round.

[@lemarscottwhyte3260]

Give respect to his opponent Carl Thompson who then went on to spark David Haye when he was 41. 👏

[@KevinSmith-ki7yl]

People tend to forget that, this is the david haye that’s just said he would have beaten all today’s top heavyweights, Thompson wore him down and stopped him , mind you he must of hit Thompson with everything but the kitchen sink and still couldn’t stop him coming forward

[@davepoke]

@@KevinSmith-ki7yl yeah then made an excuse for losing the fight afterwards if I recall correctly

[@akhan6778]

Haye learnt from that fight. He was winning until the stoppage.

Thanks for the memories Chris Eubank. Tremendous boxer and the heart of a warrior.

[@harryheath9928]

Eubank was a tough boxer with skills he went out in glory what a chin on him and CB still wanted to fight also

[@Biggreydog]

Carl thompson one of the best and most underrated.

[@Fatherhands147]

Nah defs not

[@SirPeter6464]

He was good. Fantastic fitness and brave as a lion.

[@looselipssinkships333]

He didnt get managed right ,he won more fights than most thought he would with heart .tuff man though same as eubank ,great era

[@IanD-ut4dy]

@@Fatherhands147 Definitely yes. Thompson was hard as nails, had the quickest recovery rate of any boxer I've seen and annihilated Eubanks twice. He destroyed Haye after rounds of taking huge shots. Yet barely anybody remembers him. Criminally underrated.

[@dubiouscaesar3709]

No amateur fights either.

[@jackplugg4529]

Carl Thompson was a Hell of a Fighter!!!!!

[@willbutler2850]

Think what you want of Eubank but he was for a pure warrior, his chin was top tier. People seem to forget this and the fight before this was at cruiserweight which is mad for a former middleweight

[@AliKhan-mo5ow]

Joe

[@scatmann5839]

It was clear in the difference in their physique. Thompson looked bigger and stronger. More of a natural cruiserweight. Mad respect to both men. Real men.

[@DejiTalker]

Quite obvious

[@MegaBenjo88]

Saw eubank at the Hounslow/Heathrow roundabout in a black Porsche Boxster with a blonde white bird. So I shouted “eubank you’re still a beast” he smiled and raised his fist in the air

[@seekingenlightenment9685]

A great fighter, a great character, a great man - totally unique. Still on TV today in other roles, and still as entertaining. If he's on TV, I'll watch him.

[@doublegtotheg9807]

Chris Eubank always delivered, tough sob & hard as nails....just an iconic figure in the sport of boxing & forever will be.

[@BB-mv9wl]

His finesse, and sense of sportsmanship was brilliant. No vulgarity trash talk or hatred.. I wish modern day boxers and fighters of other styles would follow his example.

[@YomiBazuaye]

The way that Thompson applies pressure and uses his size to rough Eubank up in this video is *exactly* what I would like to see AJ doing to Usyk on Aug 20th.

[@AAli-lt9mt]

True legend kept fighting even after his losses . He was great

[@bond0666]

After his losses he stopped, when did he carry on?, Collins destroyed him!!

[@ellisjames8517]

Don’t make them like they used to anymore. Proper wars they went through back in the day

[@ponyboycurtis3795]

Absolute pair of warriors and just to think we had Audley Harrison about ten years after this 🤦‍♂️ but Eubank and Thompson both gave it everything in both fights.

[@straightouttacornwall]

My all time favourite boxer. Heart of a lion!

[@johnyboy19685]

Eubank what a warrior a very tough man fighting someone who was good brought out the best in him he needed to be challenged and pushed that made him perform to his best. Ask his opponents how tough he was they will all say the same to beat him was hard because he was so tough heart of a lion.

[@mickfarnell8664]

He was never the same after Watson fight . Wouldn't hurt them as he did before . granite chin . Really was a hard man

Both the Thompson/Eubank fights were epic. Thought Chris was faster & got in some good punches early on. But Thompson stayed strong & was naturally bigger. He started getting on top.

Saw Chris box live in 1997 and was lucky enough to meet him in 2009, came across as a really nice person and even posed for a couple of photos with me and the Mrs. Dissapointed with that negative comment from Ian Darke at the end of this clip, especially as Chris had just gave everything against a much bigger opponent and gone out on his shield, he deserved to be respected at the end of that fight, especially being his last time in the ring, usually like Ian but that comment was not needed at all.

The superior size and natural weight advantage of CAT played a part in the outcome of this bout. Plus, Eubanks shades of his former self. Taking nothing away from CAT of course who showed again how good he was, after also beating David Haye. Decent British, fringe Euro level fighter.
