I think Jr may move up to 168 to be honest. How do we see him getting on up there? Him against the better Chudinov would be cool
Spot on. People want to see Eubank against a guy who poses a physical threat. Shot for shot Stevens is a bigger puncher than Lemieux for me, let alone Spike, who is looking to move down to 154. Stevens is a bull at 160 who fought as a light-heavy as an amateur.
Chudinov would be a favourite to beat Stevens and CEJ didn't lose a round to him. I'd rather see CEJ fight Stevens then defending his British strap against Langford, but I reckon he wouldn't get any credit for beating Stevens. If Stevens lands a couple of shots, which is likely to happen, all the clowns on here will talk about is how he wobbled CEJ or some **** like that. They wont talk about how Stevens lost every round and got stopped.
I disagree I don't think anyone would make Chudinov the favourite against Stevens that guy is awful. I think CEJ would definitely beat Stevens but i'm just saying it would be Jr's best win. Why you acting like everyone's out to hate on Eubank i'm actually a massive fan of his I just think Spike is ****e.
He is awful now but before CEJ spanked him he was a contender on here. Honestly this forum would probably give Dan Blackwell a good shot at beating CEJ, too many haters. Stevens is not a world class fighter but he has world class power. So did Spike and CEJ bashed him. Stevens would get the same treatment.
N'Dam beat Stevens. He also won every round vs Stevens. He also dropped him. N'Dam was knocked down ELEVEN (11) times vs Quilen & Lemiuex. Eubank Jnr wouldn't lose so much as a minute vs Stevens and would stop him.
What is Jr's best win? Nick Blackwell? It's not hate with Jr, we are British, Jr is British and seeme like a really decent young man. it's the fact you and people like you are claiming his potential is his actually ability. Until Jr goes and beats top 10 fighters he will be questioned just like many others are questioned. Jr could have fought Jacobs and didn't, he could have had the Saunders rematch and didn't, he could have had the Golvokin fight and didn't, instead we got Tom Doran and probably another British title defence. Jr and his supporters/fans can't claim credit or live off fights Jr didn't even have, Jr will have to go and beat those men to get the credit.
He has proven enough that he is better than Stevens of all people, you have to admit that. BJS is a World Champ and is a very good fighter, CEJ fought him when he was green and did extremely well. He has since annihilated British/Euro level fighters which is the same league as Stevens tbh he is no world level fighter that's for sure, all he has is big power. CEJ's problem definitely is not his chin. CEJ lacks finese and fundamentals but these little things are improving every fight. Arrogance and showmanship could also be a flaw but against the biggest and best challenges I think it might actually help him, he is an extremely confident individual. Chudinov>Spike>Blackwell are his 3 best win's, but clearly he is leagues above them and Stevens isn't.
I think Eubank-Stevens would be a good fight for Chris and I am certainly no hater. I don't believe Chris should be mucking about at domestic level, he's proven he's a couple of levels above those fighters. If I recall correctly, he is mandatory for Jacobs and I think he needs a fight against a solid 10-15 ranked operator before making the leap to such a formidable opponent. Stevens fits the bill perfectly, he's someone a champion or top contender will beat, but anything less and you will probably be found out. He can be out boxed, but has big power and several decent victims (Teixeira, Johnson, Elvin Ayala, Wilczewski). I think CEJ would beat him, but he is the kind of learning fight which is crucial at this stage. CEJ should then go after Jacobs and if he wins that then he becomes possibly the most attractive opponent at 160 for GGG and has a lot more bargaining power in trying to make that fight.
Especially if it's Tommy Langford next. I'm hoping security prevent him from getting a load more easy publicity by getting in the ring September 10th to yap at Golovkin like a pesky poodle, but they probably won't...
Eubank should have taken the Golovkin fight, he was a fool for giving up all that money....................
