    He could actually have a good case for 2016 if he hadn't stepped up so soon and lose his 0 to BJS. Right now his best bet would be hoping BJS beats Lee and avoids GGG in which case Eubank can be a replacement and have another major career set back by being brutally knocked out by the one and only Tribal Gee.

    he can fight Blanco to get the interim belt back. If he gets past him he's Quillin or Jacobs' contender for the "regular" if he gets past Al's obstacles, and if by some miracle he does and wins that one he can challenge GGG for the actual belt.

    Quite a road to travel :lol:

    The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
    Quillin will probably make him cry on International TV like his Dad.

    The Eubanks are a family of bums.

    For Eubanks sake, I'm hoping never.

    #his next fight should tell us a lot more about CEJ. If he can defeat Spike impressively then we can have a bit more faith in him. But make no mistake about it - Spike is tough.

    Did Spike even win a round vs Billy Joe Saunders?

    Given Eubank Jnr beat BJS on one of the judges scorecards, I think it is likely that Eubank Jnr beats O'Sullivan IMO. Probably mid rounds stoppage.

    Eubank Jr. is a hypejob. In a neutral venue Chudinov would have beaten him... When Eubank wasn't constantly clinching, holding and hitting, pushing and so on. Chudinov was doing a lot of the better work. Pretty disgraceful that the ref allowed Eubank Jr. to fight the way he did.

    Eh?

    The fight was nearly postponed until Chudinov got his own choice of referee biked in on the evening I thought??

    Eubank was allowed to fight an INCREDIBLY dirty fight. The referee didn't do his job, I don't care who he was.

    Silly thing to say.

    Golovkin is in his moment, but in a few months he's 34.

    If Eubank Jnr waits 24 months as expected he'll be 28 and GGG will be basically 36.

    If Eubank Jnr Keeps improving as he clearly is, fight on fight, if Golovkin makes it to 36 unbeaten and doesn't retire then I would envisage Eubank Jnr having an excellent chance of beating and probably stopping Golovkin.

    Yeah that's pretty much what everyone from 154 to 168 thinks. GGG is no Martinez though. Once he thinks he's done, he will retire. Even if he doesn't, it will be an American or Hispanic for a final payday, certainly not Eubank.
