    Can he beat any of the champions at Super Middle?

    I personally think he should go back down to middle. The likes of Smith and Ramirez (if he stays) are going to be too big and strong for him. Even Benavidez. He can maybe nick a belt off plant or Dirrell but can’t see longevity for him up at SMW.

    Agree. Back to middleweight. He's tough and has heart but these guys will outweighs him by 20+ lbs on fight night.

    Dirrel won the WBC last night by beating yilridim. I think benavidez is already in line for first shot at it but if not that might be eubanks best chence at aworld title at super middleweight

    He`ll never be a world class fighter because he doesn`t have a world class jab, Canelo would destroy him at 160 or 168 he will never reach that level, a highly flawed fighter just like his overrated father was.

    You may dislike him as a person but his resume speaks for itself. Senior has said on many occasions that he was flawed as a boxer but it was undeniable he was a warrior in the ring.

    It's a shame BJS didnt get the WBO SMW belt as CEJ would be fighting for his fathers old title. Would have been plenty of needle in the build up too.

    Saunders schools him.

    Would be a good move for Saunders. Eubank is a name and if BJS wants to step up to face the top guys a fight to build his name against someone he knows he can beat could be shrewd.

    From a British fan perspective CEJ v BJS would be great , makes business sense too .

    Maybe see if he can fight Dirrell next. He was talking about retiring after his fight last night. Dirrell isn't great and if he's thinking of retiring (he's 34), then I can't think of anyone better for CEJ to fight which would be winnable.

    A complete novice green version of young CHRIS with a handful of pro bouts to his name, and contesting his first ever twelve rounder, already managed to split a decision with BJS.

    Give over mate. Saunders outclassed him then gassed later on. Has Eubank really improved since then? If he has its very minor at best.

    Boxing is about levels and Saunders is atleast a level above Eubank and they know it.
