    Only outside chance he has one winning tourney is if Smith and Groves get injured oh and he actually turns up ! His style is based on out pressuring and showing more strength against weaker opponents, won't work against two very large SMW in Groves and Smith who hit a lot harder than he does. He would be eating Groves Jab all night and Smiths body shots if he fought either.

    Nobody beats Smith and Groves easily, not even Andre Ward
    Jr will have to walk through fire to beat them, thats why it will be such a great run

    Not to mention Yildirim and Abraham are as tough as they come too

    I don't know if there is a better body puncher than Smith and Groves has the best jab in the game.

    Don't call them bums when Jr beats them though, give him full credit!!!

    I would if he could but he won't especially Smith, with CEJ exciting tough style I think Callum would seriously hurt him as he would absorb too much

    If by some miracle he does and you think he lost but got the decision it would be a bad look crying about it, no excuses.

    Smith has just pulled out of a world title fight. I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled out of his next difficult match-up.

    Would have no reason to cry lol. Always want to see the best man win and will congratulate them on doing so if I feel it's deserved.

    Big fight for eubank next week. Pretty much sink or swim time. Think he wins it. I actually think his career progressions came on perfectly if he gets the win against abraham then enters the tournament. Ggg should never of been brought up in the first place. He was still developing. Bjs was slightly too soon also.

    It's not that most British boxing fans don't want to get behind him, believe me I really want to get behind Eubank Jr because I believe he is very talented and is usually in entertaining fights. It's just I find the way his career has been managed is so frustrating, then the whole GGG thing really annoyed people.

    If he does enter this tournament & does well then his perception amongst the boxing fans could change completely, I think he will beat Yildirim and Groves but lose to Smith in the final.

    top 5 p4p lmao if he does beat those 4 guys which he could that doesn't mean he will be near the top 5 p4p.
    First of all there is only 1 world champion in that list and 1 win over a world champion doesn't warrant a top 5 place. He will only be a 1 weight world champion, he wont have defended his belt against the best in the division, he wont have had any unification's, he wont have avenged his loss to BJS. That fact that you think those 4 wins put him in top 5 p4p is laughable.

    I think he'll dodge the tournament but only because his fights seem to be ITV PPV now. I think there would be complications with broadcast rights

    GGG has only beaten 1 world champion (Lemieux), and is a 1 weight world champion, could have easily lost to Jacobs razor close decision

    Lomachenko only has 8 wins and hasn't avenged his loss

    Absolutely deluded S.O.G walks right through both Groves and Smith. Abraham is a spent force and Yildrim completely unproven (Periban his biggest scalp). Will be amazed if Jr even turns up let alone beat anyone. Lets face it the only reason Sr turned up is to show of his English act in front of the cameras and grab some free canapes and champagne.
