    I didn't mean any offense point was he has dangerous power, he almost killed a guy, phrased it very badly.

    The Blackwell incident happened because of sustained damage. If Jr was a big hitter he would have just been KO'd properly, but because Blackwell could take his shots the fight went on for longer and Jr could land more hits to the head.

    He isn't feather fisted, but a power puncher he certainly is not.

    This. His shots are inaccurate, rarely to temple or chin or solar plexus or under floating rib.

    This.

    Granted Blackwell was a incredibly resilient fighter but clearly Eubank isn't exactly feather fisted.

    Other than his uppercuts, Jr's shots are just winging, clubbing blows.

    So far no one can explain his lack of pop. Other than that he is a supreme athlete, super fit, great physical specimen,huge work rate etc....
    But we see him battering domestic level guys with literally hundreds of shots, swamping them with an avalanche of blows.....and yet they al finish on their feet! Amazing! Not a ten count in sight!
    This spells trouble for him if he ever fights ggg....I don't think he should jump from domestic level straight to ggg. He needs a fight with someone like Martin Murray to test if he is ready.

    He has enough power to keep you honest and put you on the backfoot and put you down if its clean. If GGG walks through it then his chin is pure granite.

    It's the sheer speed and volume, not the power,that has met fellas honest up to now. It remains to be seen if the same applies once he steps up though.

    he has enough power that no one will walk through him to land their own, say like a Khan.

    He like a mix of calzaghe, Khan and Eubank senior and Hamed rolled into 1.

    Fast but not as fast as Khan, with the same issues in balance and defence but punches harder for his weight class
    Workrate and good stamina but not as good as calzaghe but maybe comparable power for division
    Poise and mannerisms of his dad and may have his chin
    Wild and loads up when completely in wrong positions and a massive show off but no where near Hamed's power or charisma

    I reckon he's got Srs chin. He's looked solid any time he's been hit.

    If it's Golovkin he opens himself up to one of the biggest punchers in boxing and he will need to have a greater chin than Sr.
