    True, or Kell Brook, who he was bizarrely advised to fight next. He really should pick on people his own size, the strings to this warrior code bow of his are a little strange.

    The Brook fight makes sense to build the GGG fight. Not much of a contest for Junior though, agreed.

    Saunders should retire. He's a good boxer but he's gone as far as he can go, was ranked quite high at 160, wasted a couple of years, took on Alvarez at 168 and got his eye smashed in and quit. Time to quit the whole game probably.

    Eubank Jr. should have retired a few fights ago. He was never even a good boxer. He's an absolute joke.

    CEJ reminds me of an MMA guy called Michael "Venom" Paige. Steps up and gets found out, then goes back to can crushing.

    CEJ should fight a top 10 guy now instead of being a money grabber.

    Saunders doesn't really have anywhere to go. I don't see him having the dedication to get back into title contention at either weight.
    The only real profile fight he has is Eubank Jnr and would he want it??

    As for young Christopher he's done nothing since drilling Yildirim and outpointing AA - I saw that as a decent test for him against an aging but slightly dangerous vet. The Koborov fight told us nothing, De Gale was shot to pieces, I mean ruined, and since then he's done nothing. If we were to say he's probably got another 5-10 fights left. He needs to choose carefully if he's serious about winning a world title.

    His early fights seamed reasonably well matched but for a while he's been drifting maybe he's happy as a part time celeb part time boxer.

    Zero chance of Brook or BJS fighting Eubank Jr, there is absolutely no chance of either fight happening.

    Brook is semi retired mid 30's given his all and totally finished, would take the Khan fight and Khan fight only at catch weight- other than possibly an exhibition type fight for big money. Neither is likely to happen so he is effectively retired, without stating it explicitly.

    BJS has suffered a horrific career ending injury, is the wrong side of 30 and is very unlikely to fight at top level again. I think IF he recovers, and if he is offered it (two big IF's) he would take a farewell type fight in the UK against a soft touch, so he can finish his career on a win.

    I think Eubank Jnr will struggle to get a meaningful fight outside of the domestic scene. Golovkin won't fight him, makes zero sense for him at age 39 and with the glorious career that he has had. Charlo? Don't see it, as risk vs reward probably isn't right.

    Canelo clearly has other plans, so not sure what fights there are out there for him at really top world level?

    I would love to see Eubank Jr. vs Felix Cash, not sure how realistic that is, but surely much more than any of the above.

    Nobody decent needs to be fighting Eubank Jnr, he's no use to anyone because he hasn't done anything to make himself worth fighting.

    No one is disputing that pulling out was the right decision. But for all Billy’s talk RE: Dubois and pre fight here, that he was willing to die etc, it’s ironic he had 1 minute of adversity and pulled out.

    Had he not talked so much shite he'd have gotten praise, but he did, so...

    Eubank would target that eye and stop him.

    I don't think Saunders would be entering a boxing ring in a professional fight if his eye socket wasn't 100%, he wouldn't be allowed to.

    THE YOUNG WAR HORSE?


    Are you talking about 31 YEAR OLD CHRIS EUBANK JR? 31 YEARS OLD? YOUNG WAR HORSE?


    Jr is not young, just because he is called "Jr" doesn't make him young FFS.


    Also, your "young war horse" isn't chasing Charlo or anybody else. He is chasing a faded shot welterweight in Kell Brook.

    I didn't think it could be any more Embarrassing after Morrison but Brook? Even worse, a welterweight who looks shot to pieces to me.


    Have a day off with Eubank Jr, a faded Groves took him to school, dropped him twice, beat him up and embarrassed him.


    Eubank Jr is a clown.

    TBF I'd have plenty praise for him if he'd come out now and walk it back too...

    It was a stupid thing to say and something far too many people do.

    He won't, but he should.

    Saunders needs to retire. His style is horrible to watch and now he can't build himself up on the lies about heart going forward he needs to leave the sport. Not interested in seeing him fight again.
