I rate him, wish he would stop with the act though, he's obviously doing it on purpose to wind people up and cause a buzz.
He's had some very good tests early amongst some not so good oppoents. Suruthers was a decent fight at the stage he was at.
Seems a talent, but does he beat BJS? No chance. Also I get the whole act blah blah blah, but is he going to do the posing after throwing shots, the slow motion bollocks when he finally steps up? Because some of the stuff he tries he ends up getting caught with shots.... shots he wouldn't be allowed off the hook with against better fighters. That said, the likes of Groves and others have been outspoken about how good he is. Both Groves and Froch use him for sparring, so he can't be half bad!
Yup - it's the last couple of fights that have done it. The received wisdom has shifted from "Eubank Jr is rubbish and trading off his fathers name". That was certainly the clever view for a while. When that wasn't clever anymore we went long on "he can't punch his way out of a paper bag". Now he keeps stopping people it's no longer clever to say he can't punch. A lot of us are jogging off down the "his opposition is rubbish and he is being protected" route. Tough work, all this being clever!
interesting to see one or two stragglers still going on about Eubank Jr not being able to punch. They are at least two steps behind received wisdom on this topic.
