Some people hate listening to this guy but man I could listen all day long 😂
B Weezy I enjoy listening to him as well..I don’t know why
I used to dislike him in the 90s but I really like him now.
PREACH!
Thing I like about him is he uses his long big words to appear clever. But you know he's a total badass 😂😂
Well, the "s" is the issue, I believe.
The older I get the more I appreciate eubank
It's because he's a proper gent and a tough guy at that.
When you watch his old fights you understand how good he actually was, I would show young fighters his fights before anyone else, especially for the footwork.
Agree,when he was fighting I thought he was an arrogant prick,I have a new found respect for the man
@@peterblazeby4783 thei ronic thing is he was not arrogant at all. He was always fan friendly and generous and kind hearted. Naz however was a great British fighter but could be a horrible arrogant prick back in his day .However over the last few years he seems a nicer person and more down to earth.
Same
An eccentric gentle-man, with the heart of a lion. What a great man.
Best Description Of Christopher Livingston Eubanks EVER!!! Take A Bow Sir
I didn't know that about what Steve Collins said, which I think it was out of order. To question someone's nationality.
Would he say that to an Australian or South African 🤔. Its made me lose respect for him as a man but not as a fighter.
The greatest all have eccentricies. Their character's demands it, their mind's oblidge.
He’s amazing 😂😂 he never let them cut him off
Was not having it at all.
@It doesn’t matter What your name is he hates being cut of..piers morgan was put in his place when he tried it recently lol
Part of the warrior code lol
@@HolyRollerTV I’m more warrior than you will ever be..
I don't care what anyone says, putting aside his posh voice, this fella actually talks a lot of sense.
Too much reverse snobbery in this country and this is another example.
Uncle Tom
@@saab2906 well said. 😎
@@davidholgate123 Is it reverse snobbery? I don't think it is.
Eubank talks a lot of sense, but he also talks an awful lot of s**t
broken1394 why that
"In a fight I couldn't win, I got up".
Love that.
Context...but what does it mean?
@@davidfutama7128 it’s a metaphor to keep striving in the face of adversity even when the chips are down!
@@davidfutama7128 keep on keeping on even when it feels like the world is against you
The fact he didn't let him interrupt was priceless. "Please" = you may speak now lmao
The fact this man has not been knighted is an absolute disgrace.
Exactly!
I c what u did there 😂
Are you kidding me
Who the heck would want to be knighted by that rotten hag queen
Didn’t thay knight saville lo
@@donaldtrumpbestpresidentev4788 yes they did bro there all scumbags
I love the way Chris still owns naz with the last part of the interview. It’s so funny to watch naz pulling that face ringside
"Let's have some parliamentary procedure" .... best ever quote at a boxing promo. He's a class act.
Benn felt like a child against him. Lol
Lol. No doubt.
😂😂😂
Then beat him a true legend
There has never been anyone like Chris and I doubt there ever will be. God bless you Chris.
I can't help but like Chris he's a real genuine down to earth guy and was hands down one of the greatest fighters of all time
A real gentleman and down to earth guy ...yes! One of the greatest fighters all time.....no. He would not even say he was one of the greatest fighters of all time!! Lol top 20 greatest british fighters if all time... maybe .?? Even
That s debatable . One of the greatest british showman and unique fighters of all time ....yes!!
@@donnn-ow4rj here’s a causal 😂 chris is top 10 British all day
@@donnn-ow4rj Easily Top 10 for British boxers. He’s probably the most iconic British boxer ever.
Do not interrupt anyone when theyre reciting something.. That moment annoyed me when Eubank talking about a warrior and integrity. Interviewer tried to jump in. How rude.
He was waffling not going to lie after 15secs I was lost
Let the man talk ffs. Adams rude, he should already have been trained to let people talk
It is Adam Smith, what do expect?! Biggest chancer in boxing!
@@joebloggs7103 whether you think waffling or not, it is rude to interrupt.
@@joebloggs7103 the fact you have Kermit the frog as you're profile pic means you a GOOFY
He's brilliant isn't he. Glad his son is around so we can keep our eyes on him. Best of craic. And doesn't he look SO well. Good man Chris.
You’re obviously a belfast man
Great comment. Even at his Son's biggest fights more eyes are on Chris Sr. People still want to hear his opinion and listen to what he has to say.
This man is a inspiration to me. He's the only true rebel I've ever seen. He's prim and proper but he would still whip anyone anytime anywhere in a sharp suit and still come out looking fresh. He speaks like a teacher and has so much self respect but nobody would have guessed he comes from the streets. A True inspiration for someone like me
Chris Eubank was a motivational speaker before motivational speaking was a thing.
Chris Eubank, such class.
I like how honest he is about his losses. Very humble in defeat.
*Honestly he was incredible*
Yes, I certainly appreciate him these days. He's honest. He's clearly intelligent. He's witty. He was fantastic for British boxing even though I didn't see that at the time. My mistake.
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.
This is the true Eubanks when he's not selling fights for his son . He is a legend and humble. What a warrior
A unique character. Appears nutty at times but unquestionably his own man and a truly great champion.
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👍
Truth, & integrity, Chris should be listened to and emulated, these values are hard to find in men today
This man is an absolute bonafide legend. Hard as nails and driven to be simply the best!
Chris is great he looks over rather than under. WISDOM !!!! great man
October 2022. We love you, Chris. Get well soon, champion 🏆
He looks exactly like he did back in the 1990's just without hair lmao
BLACK DONT CRACK
It does crack, but not in this case.
@@aarondeepsandhu until they hit 70 and look 900.
An ugly bastard but a sharply dressed one
Have you guys heard of moisturing your skin.
"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.
Though he looks like a ninja turtle, he's a national treasure, marching to his own drum. An amazing fighter.
What a character. What a entertainer. What a fighter!! Pure class.
I respect him for admitting that he lost the killer finishing instinct.
Eubank and Benn both had to suffer that, Watson and McClellan respectively....tragic, some cross to carry. It had to change them as fighters.
@@amadandubh7289 the difference was that Watson was a lovely man and McClellan was an evil individual
Eubank never lets people cut him off. Legend
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.
Chris Sr is so smart and so authentic! The guy has some serious class and his swag is on a different level... I love it haha😎.
Amazing guy and great philosopher. I could listen to Chris talk for hours.
Could listen to this man all day. Legend
His fights with Carl Thompson were absolutely savage, Eubank wasn't born he was quarried.
I love the respect he pays to his opponents and how humble he is.
An all time great fighter . A gentleman...intelligent witty ...makes me proud to be British. God bless you Chris .
I proud oh him too as a human.. He is humble,and very smart, intelligent boxer under Muhammed Ali and one or two more.. He is a real GOAT.. And I proud to beıng a Turk too..
Let the man speak, he talks poetry and I can love all that warriors code all day.
Yeh Smith couldn't keep his ego out of this one. Big difference between commentating and interviewing.
I have the utmost respect for Eubank. Educated and a great fighter. Something the public were not willing to accept at the time. Still sharp.
Def not educated, maybe self educated but was a street kid who grew up tough when everyone wanted to believe it was Benn, who was actually regimented and disciplined who was the street one.
This man is a maverick. I felt I was in a classroom for a course called "Life lessons from the warrior's code". I want to meet this man. I want to speak to him. Who can connect me with Chris Eubank Snr.
I've been connected with him online going 2yrs STRONG...try Instragram mate👍
probably better to get a grip on yourself Ade
I have always will always love Chris Eubank. Not just as a fighter but as a man and a fantastic human being. He is a beautiful role model, his son Jr is an absolute credit to him and he will always have a special place in my heart. A TRUE warrior.
This man's a living masterpiece...with the fists to match. DAMN I LOVE BOXING
"How would you like to be remembered Chris?"
"In a fight I couldnt win, I got up".
Knowing after 6 rounds a man is to good for you and you still carry on that's next level guts and heart
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
In a fight I couldn't win, I still got up. Great words , great guy.
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.
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!
Has collinsitus though
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.
The legend of a legendary era for British boxing.
A true gent and a true champion glad I was around to watch him 🥊🥊
Chris looks so good! What an excellent gentleman.
Why did that twerp interrupt him as he was in the middle of that speech? What a silly silly man
his honesty on it all,, is so good to hear
Love from Ireland Mr Eubank
🥳🥳🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪♥️♥️👆
Thanks for th shout out ....
Great to have you Chris, you are a living legend.
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.
Such a charismatic person and great boxer. It's good to see him back on the screen.
Chris Eubank is an outstanding man! I could listen to him forever. Old fashioned common decency. A truly dying art
Loved watching him fight back then, Saturday night ITV boxing, those were the days. Was not the same boxer after Watson 2.
I really love Eubank he is an amazing creative original individual
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.
Look how he has kept himself in shape. Incredible.
Always loved Chris growing up. Mesmerising to watch
I remember the fights, and now I'll remember the interview
Great man and I love listening to him. One of the best super middleweights this country has ever had.
The fellow I knockout in 20 seconds… including the count… always a pleasure
Absolute class 😂😂
An absolute legend and a gentleman.
I really have a lot of respect for this man. He truly is a man.
the way he talks,articulates himself u kind of get hypnotized and know he is gonna say more inspiring stuff
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.
Hes a great character. Like you , i dont think hes that bright but hes worked very hard to better his vocab and diction......and theres nothing wrong with that.
... like Muhammed Ali.. I wish them both be very near in their times..
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 !
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 🤝👏💪🏻
A truly great man. Thank you!
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!
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!
I love Mr English, a truly wise man, very inspirational.
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.
How can anyone not like this guy, honestly. Such a kind hearted soul.
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
“Stupendous”
Fantastic interview, a great pleasure to watch.
Brilliant! As a kid I was a Eubank fan. This brings back so many memories. He is honest and truthful.
Parliamentary procedure
lol
That’s a quote from the Quiet Man
He's a national treasure.
Watched this AGAIN! So good! The banter is top class! Lots of really unexpected results. Brilliant 👍
This man brought great fun to boxing, love him or hate him as a youngster he has given me memories.
I wish these interviewers would listen and let him give an answer instead of trying to work their way through their pre prepared questions.
Absolutely love him as a boxer, entertainer and personality! A man with manners! 💥🎩💫✨
Agreed!
Loved this interview!!!! 🔥
It is gratifying to see him speak so well and with such an obvious love of life.
The definition of supreme confidence.
or delusion
"I was born in Britain, im a brit, I dont see colour" what a fantastic response that is 😊👌 im sure he still cares about his heritage and so he should but I enjoyed that line.
Bollocks! I'd argue we need more Brits like Eubank, at least he values the culture and history and wants to learn and be part of it.
@Moustache? Mustang the brittish are an almagamation of different races, from all over the world. You obviously don't know your own heritage, your ethnicity does not define your nationality... im guessing your just racist tbh
@Moustache? Mustang So are the Scandinavians "Ethnically British" as they conquered England? You logic is basic and flawed. Being British is a state of mind, Mr Mustang
PJR7 And we should be proud to have him as one of the best fighters of our generation.
@EIRE LAND me?
brilliant interview.he is such an intriguing person.and a true inspiration for any youth finding himself lost.all the fighters of that brilliant era in british boxing in all weight classes were hard men.
what a brilliant interview!! Chris Eubank fantastic champion, could listen to him all day :-)
