    I do too. Unfortunately the apple fell a little too far from the tree.

    Say what you want but I'm a fan. He's ferocious, game, skilled and believes in himself.

    People give him a hard time because of his father - Chris Eubank Snr - but his father's eccentricity and ability to market himself set a blue print used by many fighters who came after him.

    Why his son should not employ this proven strategy, with father's support is beyond me.

    Don't hate - leave what you don't understand well alone.

    Jr has grown on me a bit, but not enough to call myself a fan.

    I just hope people don't confuse his speed stamina and volume punching with actual boxing skill. Because he hasn't fought anyone with skill since Saunders done him over. He's had a platter of plodders since then.

    Jr is the real deal. Best MW to come out of UK for sometime. Not seen so much aggression in a fighter since 80s Tyson.

    He's ready for the big opponents.. if his Dad let's him.

    We already know BJS doesn't and Derevyanchenko Is a 30yo virgin
    Golovkins manager said they would never ever fight CEJ
    That just leaves Jacobs and I'd like to see that fight

    Derevyanchenko looks very good, he's just a little small and we don't know how he would go against a guy much bigger than him who can go 12 with ease.

    I hope he lives up to the potential although at 31 he might be running out of time but at least his career path is on the fast track and even an ancient Soliman is a good win

    Tbh I quite like him and Khytrov could be decent as well. That Sulecki made Centeno Jr look like a bum.

    The 160lbs division is heating up and there are some very big 154lbs that will end up big 160lbers not far away either, that division is stacked with young guys that cut a lot of weight.
