    May be unpopular opinion but jr beats up most the current middleweight division baring andrade and golovkin

    feel like there's another gear to him if he were to fight a better fighter than Liam Williams

    He could beat Andrade. That's a fight I'd like to see. It's a true 50/50.

    Really? I didnt see that gear anywhere, man. What I saw was him gasing in a fight where his output was lower than low. Had he needed an extra gear to win this fight he would have ended up sleeping on the canvas.

    I highly doubt that wannabe-roy-jones-jr can win to andrade. But I admit it is a fight that I would love to watch.

    I dont think beating Williams makes you top draw, seeing as Williams was never elite.

    Top 10 but not top 5. That's not that bad considering he's only now getting decent training.

    I think the two easy knock-downs made him relax way too much i don't think he was gassed at all just think he realised Williams wasn't on his level

    I think he needs to pace himself better but he's a big middleweight and would give most of the fighters a tough time outside of the elite.

    Groves was a bigger puncher than the rest currently behind Golovkin. He might not be the best boxer but i think his athleticism and speed is pretty decent. He just needs to learn to stop the Roy Jones impressions and pace himself better over 12.

    I used to think he was awful but in hindsight he's not as bad as i thought.

    for a guy who was not at his level I had the fight quite even without taking into account the KDs. I think it's simpler, Eubank is a total mediocrity, festing on a really bad fighter who goes down to the canvas with a jab.

    There is a reason why Eubank has lost every important fight in his career. He's not a top fighter, man, not even close.

    Williams was particularly poor , I am slightly concerned about the eyes flicking up & to the right...is this stress or sign of something worse ?...
