    If Eubank jr can live up to this ridiculous hype that his dad is building then we could have a potential star on our hands which can only be a good thing for boxing

    Personally I don't listen to the crap seniors coming out with even though he seems like he truly believes what he's saying it comes across as abit delusional.

    I am however interested when the likes of Adam booth n froch tell us this kids for real neither of them have got no reason to hype.

    Froch is the 2nd best supermiddle in the world and a middleweight who's not even started fighting the best in the domestic scene yet is giving him really competitive hard sparring so who knows maybe the hype might be justified?

    What does every think on here will he get exposed soon or could he be heading to the top?

    I've seen two clips of Froch sparring between fight#1/2, the first clip was Froch smashing Barker about the ring. The second clip was with Eubank Jnr last night who looked like he gave as good as he got, maybe more.

    On that basis and considering Barker was a WC then EJ will go far.

    OK a bit far fetched for a 10 second sparring clip but I genuinely think he will go on and compete at the top. Not keen on his antics or persona as a person but I can look beyond that. Seems some find that difficult.

    I don't understand what all the negativity about Eubank jnr is. Yes he is arrogant and not everyones cup of tea,but he has been trained by the mayweathers and seems very assured of himself. Lets just hope he can be as entertaining as his old man. I think he will beat BJS, who I like and do rate, and then go on to be involved in good fights with GG, Degale and Callum Smith who also is looking good. Also I cannot understand how people think he is ****, he obvs talented.

    No question he has talent. Adam Booth is convinced. Good enough for me.

    I can see Eubank Jr getting exposed very soon by someone of the level Buglioni

    Look through my posts pal I ain't a troll.

    I'd wager a fair amount on Eubank beating Buglioni.

    I was a big fan of Chris senior and listened with interest when jnr was talked about. Jnr looks to have talent to go far, but we wont know until he is stepped up. Good luck to him

    I completely agree. Jnr to ko Buglioni mid rounds is hardly far fetched, its very probable.
