Eubank remained respectable and is still an excellent physical specimen. Naz got sent down for dangerous driving and subsequently turned into a talking cheeseburger.
u hit the nail on the head there ok naz fought plenty of boxers along the way but whne he came up against Barrera he was outboxed the better man won on the night and I for one was very glad to see that happen naz showed off quite a lot in the ring ok its what he did to get the crowd going but his time was up when he fought Barrera.
He beat Kevin Kelly Wayne mccullough augie Sanchez Steve Robinson youngest Britains World champion and a good entertainer to go with it he was fucked in the barrera fight with his hand problems and he was exhausted making the weight the day before the fight naz was no joke
@@euphemiakathleenmacdonald2970 didn’t want a rematch to put the record straight though did he…unlike Eubank. He was a real warrior…proved it many times…imagine choosing to fight Benn a second time…! That’s why, love or hate him, Chris is still respected wherever he goes, despite his funny ways. Naz doesn’t draw a crowd anymore, he is the crowd…!
@@jezedwards3858 he made his money he didn't want a rematch he wanted to spend time with his family you can't fault him for that if Brendan ingle was in his corner for the first fight it would have been a different fight
Well regardless of this argument, I always found Eubanks to be a very brave boxer who despite a somewhat ungainly style always gave his all. I never saw a dull Chris Eubank fight. He was always trying.
Eubank was a warrior he was in sum of the toughest fights ever were as max wasn’t a proper champ he quit and retired soon as he lost that’s not a champion to me
@@mrclever7742 I get your point but wouldn't you rather see a fighter earn their legacy, then stop when the time is right? Rather than not knowing when to stop and taking unnecessary losses like Jones Jr.? I wish we saw more of Naz, but I respect his decision to quit when he knew he was outclassed.
Naz and Eubank One of those fighters is talented, but also a hype job who cherry picked his opponents until the end when he faced his only real challenge. The other is a legendary all time great.
Naz was a great boxer technically switching from orthodox to southpaw and made Kelly and Boom Boom Johnson who were great look fools. Only problem was Naz's ego was bigger than his skill set. Eubank is a fuckin legend.
I met eubank at victoria train station - I approached him to say hello and he stopped what he was doing, shook my hand and talked to me for 5 minutes. He missed his train as a result, didn't bother him he carried on speaking to me for another t minutes and was a completely engaging and gentlemanly person. I met Hamed in London - I approached him to say hello, he told me to go away and walked off. I know who the prick is and who the gentleman is, and can guess who was in the right and wrong re: their disagreements.
bollocks naz will go down in history. am not saying eubank was shite far from it he would certainly be a world champion if he was in his prime today maybe even towards the end of career he would still dominate todays fighters but naz had the wow factor
Check out the clip of Eubank on Sky Sports recently where they show a clip of Naz at 15 years old, all starry eyed, watching Eubank flipping over the top rope. Hamed was always one of those boxers who listened too much to his own publicity. A good entertainer and a decent technician but not a good enough fighter to operate at the very top level.
@@kevindurand3237 You're right. That comment came across poorly. (It eas 8 years ago) I'm not going to try to double down on it other than to say that there are levels. Naz was a fantastically gifted boxer. And an entertaining world champion. The people he beat, he humiliated. So I didn't mran to disrespect him. But all the time he was world champion, Barrera was around and was better than him. A lot better. Levels.
Eubank was never the same fighter after the battle with Michael Watson. He never had the urge to finish off opponents after Michael was so severely injured. I was always a big fan of Eubank. I cannot say the same of Naz however.
Chris Eubank is one of those rarities in sport- a colourful character. I lived in Brighton for many years and he used to roll up to the pier in his juggernaut truck to get fish and chips for his kids- fukin hilarious. Oh yes, and he cd box a bit too.
eubank wasnt arrogant hes just got a lot of self confidence.why is the trainer of naz getting louder and louder while chris is still kind and in control of his emotions! Eubank was one of the best fighters ever!
DIZZYGIT I don't think so. Eubank Sr. is still built solidly and probably still full of muscle, though obviously not as defined. Naz is just a featherweight covered in fat while Eubank Sr. has a super middleweight frame.
"Its been well documented that he (Eubank) copied Naseems jumping over the ropes into the ring". What an utter, utter, utter load of bollocks. How did anyone ever believe that. Back in the 90's didn't people understand the concept of time and how its linear?
Exactly! Its friggin common sence! For hamed to say he's a 'nice guy'? well, I've heard some good jokes in my time but that? that takes the biscuit!PFFT
Good perspective made on the too fighters.Here is what I take of it. Eubank was never the same fighter post the Watson fight that is clear for all to see.However the Eubank Benn fights showed each fighter were great middle weights for there time. Naseem was a good fighter and a polite person in his early years (watch the parkinson interview) Money fame and a change of life do not go hand in hand it can easily be the downfull as we so often witness with many a personality.
Met Eubank once when I was late for a first date.. summer evening off Grafton St.. Dublin..Quick hello.. All respect too you Chris.. True gentleman, great boxer and one tough cookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris.........
Fucking hell man, Nicky Piper looks like a Postman. Hard to believe he was actually a half decent fighter. Looks like he goe's Train Spotting in his spare time haha
Hamed was rated number 1 p4p in the world by many at the time. He's right, talent wise Naseem was up there with the best and definitely the more talented of the two. His problem was his lack of sticking to the fundamentals and when he split with Ingle he wasn't the same any more. It's debatable which one had the better career although Eubank was never rated as highly as Hamed in the US and UK so I'd probably go with Nas as he did beat some pretty solid fighters and only ever lost to an excellent fighter in Barrera.
Naseem Hamed was a very, very good fighter, maybe even great at one point. He did defeat numerous good fighters, from champions to top contenders. Though his confident, cocky, and arrogant demeanor was part of his edge, and once he was defeated by a fighter greater than him, he was no longer the fighter he was, he longer felt unbeatable.
Hamed beat everyone in front of him like Joe Calzaghe. The difference was Naz actually ventured to the US and it wasn't his fault that there was nobody rushing to move up to featherweight (from the legendary mexican trio) to fight Naz + Naz's physique + size was never going to let him move up to Lightweight or Light-Welter + still be effective (whilst Joe's can...cuz he's a big guy). Barrera wasnt the 1st 'real test'. He was however the biggest test, and Barrera is a legend- no doubt.
Yeah, fair enough mate. Cant beat a good Boxing argument! haha. I remember the Naz vs Barrera fight, I was gutted when Naz lost, shame he went downhill after this fight, would have loved to have seen him have a rematch, then fight Morales. Them 3 could have had a rivalry like Haggler, Hearns and Leonard. 3 quality fighters in the same weight division. Shame Naz just faded away. Could have achieved so much more and had more big career defining fights. Just my opinion though
Naz was a talented fighter in his period and was easy to dislike because of his obnoxious ways. While Eubank was always the gentleman, a little bit of an enigma and respected by many.
I remember Naz hit Eubank and Eubank laughed in his face. It was in the papers. Eubank is a boxing legend but like most boxers he fought after his prime and lost is respect as a boxer, i still got respect for him and he will always be a legend in my eyes.
@kareemabdullah you're actually right you know. I've been thinking about how the bible had been changed so much. SO the quran is still the same as it was when it was written?
@jfkqwne How much does it say in Calzaghe's book about Naz. Which book is it? I know about Johnny Nelsons book where it says that Naz was an asshole outside the ring and was behind the plot to kidnap Johnny Nelson.
@jason60152 It is nice that there are people, like yourself, who just look at the facts and then state their opinion, based on the facts. No bigotry, jingoism, or abuse.Thank you for posting your opinion and God bless you
I've met Chris Eubank and he's a nice friendly bloke, I met him outside his home in Brighton and even though he had his kids with him , it was several years ago, he still took the time for a quick chat so obviously he's far better than that prince what's his name. Chris just needs to remember to keep his cool and not fall for the phoney rubbishing of people with no morals.
he is going to win but it would be a good fight! consider this who else can floyd fight? everybody including past legends like RJJ have even said amir would give floyd problems so it would be a good fight to see
Eubank is going down as one of Britain's all-time hard men and warriors. Hamed is going to be remembered as a spiteful, nasty little bastard who fought one great fighter and got trounced.
you having a laugh? eubank will be remembered as a great british boxer hamed will be remembered as one of the greatest fighters the world has ever seen
Big fan of Naz but Eubank was jumping the top rope when Naz was still pissing the bed.
Agreed, a 15 year old Naz even watched him do it.
Chris Eubank owning Prince Naseem Hamed !
Hector Camacho brought flamboyance to the sweet science before both of them.
Naz didn't jump, he flipped over the rope...
Shut up
Yes but eubank stole it of naz when eubank came to train in Sheffield . eubanks boxing was boring tbh.
The 90,s what an era , take
Me back.
I've seen footage of Naz, obviously very young, at ringside watching Eubank jump the ropes.
Eubank remained respectable and is still an excellent physical specimen. Naz got sent down for dangerous driving and subsequently turned into a talking cheeseburger.
🤣🤣🤣
Eubank has arthritis and is bald. Dangerous driving is a motoring offence nothing to do with sport, talking cheeseburger because he is retired
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Nas could only fix his fights for so long with Saudi money until he got cracked and buried.
HAHAHAHAHA priceless. A Halal cheese 🧀 burger 🍔 I still watch his twatting from Barrera from 01. Allah wasn't in Las Vegas that night it seems.
Naz is NOT close to what Eubank did in boxing. He fought no great boxers except Barrera, and when he did he was beaten up convincingly.
u hit the nail on the head there ok naz fought plenty of boxers along the way but whne he came up against Barrera he was outboxed the better man won on the night and I for one was very glad to see that happen naz showed off quite a lot in the ring ok its what he did to get the crowd going but his time was up when he fought Barrera.

The 4 stone weight differential is gone. Let's have it!
Golden days of good british boxing - miss it as a kid, miss it as a grown man now!

I don’t think that’s a problem, no sane person with his style would stand a chance in the pros. The ego worked for him
"It was a slap I wouldnt hit him what is he 5ft 2 ? " Classic Eubank. Eubank is a role model were as Naz is a train wreck.
Shat ap boy
I met eubank at victoria train station - I approached him to say hello and he stopped what he was doing, shook my hand and talked to me for 5 minutes.

Yeah...but he did better.
Diamond Gamer Barrera
Thomas de Torquemada two completely fighters in an outside the ring..
Also loved his 1 man protest against the iraq war, his eccentricity, and his old english gent image, Eubank is a great character.
Eubank got grimy at 3:33 He said, "How do you live with yourselves? I mean you have children." Ha ha.

EUBANK'S NOSE LOOKS LIKE A MILITARY CAMP TENT.
It looks more like a shotgun double barrel
eubien john suco, and your nose is attached to shit - Pheeew!
tk1 tk1 that was funny
No comparison between Eubank and Naseem. One is a true warrior, and Naseem is a lying creep who turned chicken after he met Barrera.
you need to see Chris Eubank owning Prince Naseem Hamed he is a liar all respect lost for the man

jonny nelson stood him on his head....well of course he would, wasn't he a fucking cruiser weight?
Eubank would have destroyed Naseem without breaking sweat. One of the hardest punchers ever.
Well, Eubank outweighed him probably by a good 40-50 lbs.
If by magic somehow it was pound for pound and they were both in peak condition. Eubank would have smashed Hamed..
GhostBlade
Seen Naz lately? He's now the one 40-50 lbs the heavier now.
DIZZYGIT I don't think so. Eubank Sr. is still built solidly and probably still full of muscle, though obviously not as defined. Naz is just a featherweight covered in fat while Eubank Sr. has a super middleweight frame.

U have it the wrong way around lol🤦🏼♂️Eubank was jumping over the ropes long b4 Nas that’s 💯% facts
ridiculous controversy... bottom line Eubanks is 5 times the fighter the clowned prince Hamed was.
oh yeah! im sorry but naz copied eubank on the jumping of the ropes. period.
Nick Christofis so. who cares
As much as Eubanks goes on I respect him as a man who did whatever he wants. Be yourself
can someone tell me if this fight has already taken place, or when it it is?
thanx
Ingle was out of order
Eubanks nice guy great guy lots of heart that was disrespectful from Naz manager.
chris eubank is a gentleman outside the ring ,naz was a pratt
How the fuck could Eubank copy Naz when he was fighting professionally and Naz was still a young teenager who had not even turned professional.
Exactly! Its friggin common sence! For hamed to say he's a 'nice guy'? well, I've heard some good jokes in my time but that? that takes the biscuit!PFFT
Maybe he saw a young Naz in the gym and thought he'd copy him
Naseem fought NOBODY but Barerras !! and then whopped up fact!! he was nowhere in the league of Benn or Eubank!!
Brendan Ingle really was something special.
That little leprechaun who starts gobbing off is funny. Where did he come from? "He's in my gang not in yours" LOL
those old-school adverts like at the start are very nostalgic
Eubank is the man that Naz dreams to be!

All this small beef back in the day. Not really beef, but comical fun. Oh the old days!
Eubank far superior my favourite boxer of all time
where can i find the match to download? Really hard to find!
what year is this?
I'm sure I still have this on VHS.
argument between Eubank, Ali and Mcgregor would be epic !!

Fucking hell man, Nicky Piper looks like a Postman. Hard to believe he was actually a half decent fighter. Looks like he goe's Train Spotting in his spare time haha
OHHH!!!!! I GOT BRITTLE HANDS!!! I REALLY DO!!! - Hamed
Why was there a Tesco manager talking at parts of this video 🤣🤣🤣
This is gold
How the fuck can Ingle say Eubank could only dream of having Naseems talent? Eubank had a far better career.
Hamed was rated number 1 p4p in the world by many at the time. He's right, talent wise Naseem was up there with the best and definitely the more talented of the two. His problem was his lack of sticking to the fundamentals and when he split with Ingle he wasn't the same any more.

Barerra finished his career,and that last rung of the ladder between good and great.
I agree its like comparing Frank Bruno to Lennox Lewis
Naseem Hamed was a very, very good fighter, maybe even great at one point. He did defeat numerous good fighters, from champions to top contenders. Though his confident, cocky, and arrogant demeanor was part of his edge, and once he was defeated by a fighter greater than him, he was no longer the fighter he was, he longer felt unbeatable.
Why does it show both of them getting knocked down in an ad trying to show how good they are?
Big up both fighters they were an iconic legends of there era nuff respect!!
So kaka was a journalist back in the 90's??
😂 first thing came to my mind
Hamed beat everyone in front of him like Joe Calzaghe.

Who was in the crowd looking amazed when Mr Eubanks knocked out Desantos in 1990?

Naz was a talented fighter in his period and was easy to dislike because of his obnoxious ways. While Eubank was always the gentleman, a little bit of an enigma and respected by many.
so the fight didn't take place after all between Naz and Eubank?
Hamed was an ok fighter, Eubank was a class fighter. Thats it.
That must be some little finger; and where's it been exactly?
im glad they become friends again !!

Absolutely spot on.
Cracks me up people seriously suggesting that these 2 could fight a supermiddle vs a featherweight.
Naz just strolled in and upset the apple cart... before him British boxing was straight forward... black & white
i like the music in the start its annoying but addictive
nas would have demolished barrera in 5 round if he trained properly and his heart was in it! he has all the tools to be world class
shut the fuck up he was a hype job barrera embarassed him
Antonio Cortés Mur typical sad American 😴😴
What a terrible excuse, give it a rest.
He lost his power from the rapid weight loss
The way Naz fought against Barerra was the same way he fought everyone else. Barerra was just too good and countered everything Naz tried to do.

i totally agree, but there arnt many on this page, thats why i surpressed that fact.

did this fight happen?????????/
why do people keep referring to Eubank as Eubanks, theres only the one of him

He's 5 foot...what? 2?!
That's pretty hypocritical, faulting Calzaghe of ducking people and using Roy Jones as an example of a real champion.

So true. Exactly my thoughts.
you having a laugh?
eubank will be remembered as a great british boxer
hamed will be remembered as one of the greatest fighters the world has ever seen
I see Eubank & think "A class act"
I see Hamed & think "what a little cunt"
Nobody doesn't even know Chris whats his name, Hamed is a warrior, he was 50 pounds less than Eubanks with more punching power and is a hall of famer.
Talk a glass eye to sleep you *****
100% B.Ingle would agree with Eubank now.
