    He's been fighting door men.

    Still not convinced the fight on Saturday will happen.

    Let's see how he does against Billy Joe this weekend. I expect him to lose a close decision (too big a step up for him), but you never know for sure.

    Big step up for Jr against a skillful undefeated boxer in BJS. If he beats him then he is the real deal for me. He has some very good attributes and boxes well. He also seems to have the same confidence as his father so that should take him far. I feel he will do well.

    Will be interesting, the fact he stepped up and is facing BJS should silence some critics as for me its a 50/50 fight.

    His chin will probably be tested and his heart so this will answer some questions.

    Whether either of them will go on to be a force in the division will be another matter, as I don't see any of them beating GGG.

    The Saunders fight was a razor-close SD loss to a fighter who has a stylistic advantage over him. Eubank has the perfect style to beat Golovkin.

    No. No he really doesn't. He was talking about chin-checking Jr the other day which would be his only chance - if he had the capacity to punch his way out of a thin mist. I'm not a fan of young Eubank but he flattens Mr Doran. To be blunt this is a mismatch IMO and if Chris keeps on fighting opponents of this calibre it's probably only a matter of time before there's another tragedy.

    Just the answer I was looking for, while I don't rate Eubank Jr. very highly or to be honest like him at all, he's obviously a few levels above opponents like Doran who haven't even been close to being in there with a guy on CEJ's level, this could be a repeat of Quillin-Zerafa, of maybe even worse, they should be ashamed for allowing this match to take place.
