    Well... with BJS coming off a career high performance, and Eubank a career low one, isnt it rather predictable that the public perception of how a rematch would go would lean heavily towards bjs.

    I personally would love to see this rematch in about a year. Let Eubank rebuild at 160 and then have a nice domestic showdown again with bjs. Would be fun.

    I was convinced before Saunders/Lemiuex & Eubank/Groves that young English would destroy him. Now I only just give the edge to Jnr.

    Young English beats GGG too. As the sheriff would say, "the maths just don't add up".

    BJS late TKO or very wide UD.

    CEJ has been found out- he freezes in the big fights and lacks the boxing talent to beat elite fighters.

    Not being able to implement your game plan and being completely outclassed the only 2 times you stepped up, proves that CEJ isnt himself elite.

    There were levels between CEJ and Groves, and that was despite Groves clearly being a slightly shot fighter on the way down.

    CEJ will freeze and lose by wide UD or TKO every time he steps up. He just doesnt have the talent or the tools at the highest level. He is excellent though on the heavy bag, because that doesnt move.

    He reminds me of a white collar boxer who took up boxing late. I think him not having an international amateur career harmed his development.

    Would have given eubank a good chance before bjs switched to Dominic ingle but he looks on another level now

    I have read a lot of your posts and know you're a big Jr fan so that must have been hard to type so my respect for being very honest and very fair in your assessment.

    I would pick Saunders by decision, Jr does has a decent chin and decent stamina but he just lacks technically and from what I've seen and read he hasn't done anything to address these issues since the Groves fight, in fact he has doubled down and is still insisting he won.

    It's a shame Jr didn't just submit to a great trainer, commit a promoter who knows what he is doing and just got on with his career after Saunders I.

    Bjs and I don’t think even he even needs to be “2.0”

    I am really curious to see if Saunders can maintain the level of ability he showed against Lemiuex. That was pretty impressive.

    I’m just not 100% that’s the Saunders we’ll be seeing in future matches.

    BJS by like 10+rounds easily

    Eubanks stuck in his ways and can’t box well, he’s just a fighter

    Saunders points. Golovkin will knock him out though, but Saunders will not fight him............

    bj batters him whilst Chris uses the ingenious technique from his last fight of blocking BJ's punches with his head.
