    Agreed. Once he gets past British level we'll be able to judge what he has to offer better.

    Froch and Groves wouldn't have him in training camps in the lead up to massive fights if he was ****, let's put it that way.

    I use to slate him then held my hands up and admitted he looks a good talent and will do well.

    However, saying he schools Murray at this stage is ridicolous when his best win is againts Terry Carruthers

    I think it's creepy the way he copies his dad's mannerisms. Doesn't the lad have a personality of his own?

    I agree, very good point that seems to be ignored.

    I got the impression most people thought he was pony and I was on my own thinking he was a good fighter. I think that little bit of unpredictablilty at times will give him the edge when he eventually steps up.

    If his surname name was 'Eubank" we wouldn't be talking about him the way we are now.

    Hasn't proved to me that he's anything but a domestic level fighter. we'll see...

    Think he thrives off the pressure. BJS can't even stay in shape, Jnr knows anything short of world titles is a failure. I'm really eager to see him in with someone like Ryder, even Blackwell or O Kane, plenty of domestic completion to get though leading up to a BJS fight. I also think should he fight BJS, Billy will come in much improved shape and should be a cracking fight for the European title.

    I believe he defiantly has the skills. The problem is he now has had 17 fights I believe (don't quote me). But George Groves had a world title shot at 18 fights and yet he has not even challenge a british level operator. He has dealt with cannon fodder so far and he beat Jukic who was knocked out by a fighter who won 8 and earnt one stoppage before that bout. He has not been forced into the trenches he needs to fight a Nick Blackwell, John Ryder or Kerry Hope before you can even put judgement on him.
