Nigel saying he's fitter now than he ever was, he was smoking 20 cigarettes a day throughout his career. Pretty amazing he was so fit. I wonder how many other boxers smoke these days?

Ricardo Mayorga is a mad chain smoker. A lot of footballers have been collared at it too which surprises me.

Hatton used to smoke cigars I'm sure but I don't know if he was on the fags.

Serge Blanco, the French Rugby player smoked at least 20 a day...

Robert Prosinecki used to smoke a power. Jorge Albertz and Berbatov too.

Gianluca Vialli was a proper, 20-a-day smoker too.

Probably more than fit enough to compete with a 50 year old Eubank. I don't think he has any ambitions to comeback and take on anyone other than Eubank. I think he would go for it if they could get it organised.

Lennox also used to smoke Glenn's pole....

Imagine the hype. They'd both make a LOT of money,

No matter how many fags he used to smoke, he's no way fitter now than he was in his prime.

Nah not that many when he was 8 ffs! He'd have stayed the same fuckin height man! Mind you, some of the bumpers where I grew up used to buzz lighter fuel on the way to school and smoke drug fags from a very young age

Older than 8 though lol.

I agree. I guess with the right training it's possible to have better cardio results, run further etc but being able to box and fight at a higher intensity and being fight fit is another thing altogether. Depends what his definition of "fitter" is.

I'd prefer it if they just drew a line under their rivalry and stayed retired but I'd no doubt tune in if it were to happen.

Always remembered the bit at the start where Benn pushes Eubank and he stands in some sort of stance and stares at his chest

A part from that it was pretty cringe!

It was tripe really.

Was clear that Nigel still definitely had an axe to grind though.
