    eubank jr im starting to believe in him. hes gaining confidence and it seems like he managing his career decently. its to to be determined but so far so good. the bjs didnt go as planned but it didnt go bad either. lots of us boxing fans rate bjs highly an wanna see him vs ggg or canelo or some one along them lines so why not eubank jr.

    as long as eubank doesnt make a drastic jump in competition , but know he is at 168 correct?
    maybe go try n get a find with j'leon love or medina. some one like that.

    Eubank is highly entertaining and I like him, but he's not a crafted boxer i don't see him getting past ggg, Eubank is too wreckless to much of a swinger ggg would make him miss and smash him. I think bjs would have a better chance against ggg but I'm dissapionted about the way bjs career is panning out massive weight gain etc out the ring too long a great talent as well.

    Eubanks has no real power , his father had a looping right but that was all. They do have great chins & Jnr has super fitness, his dadused to wander around stealing time.
    If Eubanks wants to fight GGG then 1st forget Degale, degale is a useless fighter & is a never was in UK. Jnr should warm up with Murray or Gabe rossado, if he gets past them then Groves.
    An onform Groves IMO will give Jnr all sorts of problems posibly beat Jnr. If he manges that then Badou Jack or Saunders, but I doubt Eubanks will fight Saunders as by the time he gets to him Saunders will have lost his belt to Canelo...So Jnr will have to go to the back of the queue while GGG & Canelo shoot it out .

    He doesn't have power, that's all there is to it. Accumulation stoppages aren't indicative of power, they're indicative of aggression. Plus, he doesn't even rock most guys until they're even tired or again during a barrage of punches. He might generate more power were he to sort out of frankly woeful footwork but his training camps seem to be more about just throwing uppercuts really fast instead of any kind of boxing fundamental.

    He'll call out big names like he always does (reminder that his team rejected a Saunders rematch, dropped a belt not to fight Jacobs, the GGG saga and pulled out of the Langford fight citing 'injury') and we'll end up with a fight against John Ryder.

    He obviously hits hard enough or peoplel would just walk him down, he's an accumulation puncher and does not sit down on all his shots much like JC did.

    It's his footwork that will prevent him being a top notch fighter he is there to be hit and against a GGG Lemiuex type fighter that could be lights out time.

    Eubank has a fantastic array of punches, would be a hell of a fighter if he had good power with that.

    Hes not a one punch KO guy, but he has decent power and throws a lot of punches, which is enough against most

    The problem for Eubank wil come when he gets older and cant maintain the pace he currently sets. Overwhelming opponents with sheer physical energy is all well and good in your mid-20's.......

    You must be a casual because Jacobs couldn't walk down Sergio Mora ffs and Lemiuex couldn't hack Rubios pace!!!!, at least make it believable like Curtis Stevens who has a granite chin and a lethal left hook

    His problem is he essentially starts straight at his hips and lets the momentum bypass the shoulders, going straight to the elbows so overall, he's not slapping and he does have some pop on him because of the hip momentum but he doesn't know how to coordinate the feet and legs before the hip, he doesn't know how to attain effective shoulder snap and doesn't turn his fist into the punch (not always necessary).
