    I have been watching the last 4-5 fights he had have,and in some of them,he really showcase how much of a skillset he already has!! IF he also has a solid chin and heart,he is going to be a worldchampion in supermiddelweight within 5 years!! I am sure.... I can´t wait to see how he will crawl up the ranks and facing better opponents....its an exiting with the new guys at middel-supermiddel weight.

    Still hasn't impressed me even against his very poor level of competition , showboating against bums is more a sign of immaturity and arrogance than talent

    Until he has a half decent performance against a decent competitor I'd class him as a poor prospect

    The Icing and the Cherry might look nice...but it's the cake itself that matters,
    until he fights a Nick Blackwell, Adam Etches or John Ryder, i think i will reserve judgement, but if he keeps on trying to be a clone of his father, he may just be painting himself into a corner should he fall at the first really respectable hurdle.

    I agree. Good prospect indeed. Very confidant of his own ability.

    He takes out these guys he's fighting on only a weeks notice most of the time.

    Looks good so far. Obviously that could change when he faces some better opposition. I hope he does well, it would be great to have another Eubank get to the same level as his father.

    i wouldn't say he's a great prospect, but a good one, yeah.

    he fought some good opposition in his first few fights, much tougher than usual. but he hasn't made that step up yet. only then will we see what he's got.

    i agree about him imitating his dad. he needs to knock that on the head and be his own man. some people in the business have mentioned it and said he'd be better if he didn't do that. as a prospect though, he is one to keep an eye on to see how far he goes. could come good in the near future. lets wait and see.

    By "good opposition" do you mean guys like Bradley Pryce, a guy who made his name south of Middleweight?

    Phrasing.

    I don't see why.
