    Has talent but acts as if he's done what his dad did

    Too much ego, too much protection and too much promotion. Need to see better fights. He isn't ready for BJS yet, although I'd love to see the fight happen as I'm a neutral.

    Decent fighter but needs to step up his class of opposition asap. His opponents so far have been woeful.

    He is better than most will want to admit IMO. Poor opposition or not.

    Future world champ no doubt about it. Already the best British MW, he wipes the floor with the likes of Murray/Macklin/BJS

    People often have difficulty separating their emotions from the cold hard facts. Regardless whether you like him / his father, you can't deny the boy's star is rising. Will he go on to emulate dad? That's another story.

    Looks like he'll follow in his fathers footsteps if he has the chin. If its as good as eubank sr then he could go all the way.

    Folk just love getting carried away don't they?

    Bottom line is, until we see him fight anyone with a pulse it is impossible to gauge what level he'll get to. For me, I think he'll go beyond domestic but fall short when pushing for world level.

    Eubank junior will be our biggest star in the next couple of years. Look who his father had fought after 16 fights, hardly big names. Didn't fight benn till his 25th contest, before that fight 99% of the population had no idea who he was. At the same stage in both of their careers junior looks a better fighter than his dad. All this with a comfortable upbringing and hardly much amateur experience. The kid is special.
