Never heard of that one.Knowing what we now know of Eubank,it's entirely plausible.The guy was madder than a hatter. http://www.sportshypnosis.co.uk/Sports-Hypnosis-Articles/Chris-Eubank-Hypnosis-Article.htm | |

- Battling Siki.
Fought his way out of speakeasies to avoid paying his tab.
Used to walk his pet tiger down the Champs Elysses while wearing a top hat and tuxedo.(he would shoot off his revolver to get people's attention).
Crazy enough to fight Mike McTigue in Dublin on St.Patrick's Day.
Those are only the ones I can remember.There are a lot more great add I read a great book on him sad how he met his end [/quote I've been wanting to get the book on Siki,I heard it was a great read. | |

http://www.sportshypnosis.co.uk/Sports-Hypnosis-Articles/Chris-Eubank-Hypnosis-Article.htm Good read.I'm not buying Eubank's story,in order to kill Collins,you'd have to shoot the bastard.He was one tough apple.He took a prime McCallum the distance and came on strong in the later rounds. | |

| Carlos Monzon. Classy right up until the monster came out.
Oliver McCall of course.
Oscar Bonavena had some issues. | |

I guess there was a reason they called him "Terrible." Yeah, IIRC there were genetic issues in that family. I think two of his four brothers had similar issues. | |

Yeah, IIRC there were genetic issues in that family. I think two of his four brothers had similar issues. I know that two of his brothers also boxed professionaly.Perhaps they suffered from Pugilistic Dementia? | |
