    He always acts strangely when cameras are near by. It has always kept people interested in him. He knows this so just does it all the more. Sky know people will tune in to see what he does and will encourage him to act the *******.

    His name is already made. His son has the same name as him, so how does he make a name for himself again when it is the same name?

    Do you like attention? Or just like talking ****?

    I think Jnr will be just as good, he's very young still and Im pretty sure he'll grow and replicate Snr, I never saw Snr in his early days so difficult to compare.

    People mention his lack of power, I reckon he'll gain the power as he grows.

    I don't think he'll ever be particularly heavy handed but I am sure Eubank Jr will be hitting harder in a few years time as well.

    I think to some extent power is God given but it is certainly possible for a young fighters power to improve quite dramatically as they grow in weight. People used to say Burns had no power but he seems to have developed a lot more since moving up a weight.

    Have to disagree on Eubank Jr having the potential to be as good as his dad. I know it's early days and if he turns out to be the business then all well and good, but after what we've seen of him so far it is seriously underestimating the pre-Watson version of Eubank Sr to think that. Physically Eubank Jr doesn't look to possess the same core strength, smarts, ability or power his old man did as he progressed through his early career. He can improve in all areas of course but if I had to put my money down right now then I don't see him going beyond domestic/euro level.

    chris eubank snr would of beat the **** out of jnr at this point in there careers.
    benn would of beat jnr to a pulp in a couple of rounds at the same point in there careers.
    same with watson.
    henry warton would of beat **** outa jnr,sorry lads but jnr is not that good(never gonna be world level).
    nothing up with being british level though,i would of sucked my own **** to be anywhre near that ;)

    oh and power,he sits on his punches now,which means he is throwing full power,he may stop a couple with accumulation but unless he fights a glass jaw featherweight he aint ever going to be a one ko punch man

    Yes I have to say in some of his performances so far Eubank Jr has looked awful and it's only his surname that has gotten him the attention. When I think of the Eubank from the first Benn fight then any comparison is even more absurd. Fighters can improve but at the end of the day you're either that good or you ain't

    Eubank is the Godfather. Absolutely brilliant bloke and we mere mortals are not worthy to bask in his greatness. :lol:

    Seriously, I think the reason he looks so uncomfy in front of the cameras and lets silly things slip out like poems and stuff is probably just nerves. Just because he was a showman as a fighter doesn't always mean he's naturally charismatic in interviews. Sometimes you get brilliant actors who come across as thick idiots when they're on chat-shows, it just how they handle it when they feel their under pressure to be entertaining in their interview.

    Don't agree with him about his son though, don't rate him much at all based on what I've seen of him so far. I could be wrong about Eubank Jr but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    I've heard he can be a bit of a c*nt when the cameras aren't on.
