    I was cracking up a little too much reading that, it's amazing that Jnr has been around for so long but hasn't really done anything of any note yet. The Yildrim KO aside it's been a very ordinary career.

    Quite fun for a bit, but Jr is ultimately easy work for someone with Canelo's technical ability. I think he probably stops him to be honest.

    I've never read, seen or heard of anyone claiming Junior is a lazy fighter. Totally baffling claim. Skyver you've just burned your name in to the minds of this forum with that nonsensical claim. Did you have awareness of what you typed out there or was that just some random sentence generator doing the work for you? Terrible effort, take the rest of the week off son.

    Eubank would get another decent pay day but the fight would be one-sided as ****. Eubank is a brawler, not a boxer - Canelo wouldn’t get out of first gear and beat him comfortably.

    I think Eubank has done well considering he can’t box and relies on his physical attributes. He was Fairly competitive against Saunders and Groves who are technicality much much better.

    Depends what you class as competitive, sure he was relentlessly coming forward but he was outclassed by Groves it was never really that competitive. Saunders fight I would say was more competitive due to Saunders poor conditioning.

    Yeah I can’t argue with that, but I’m saying he didn’t look completely lost in there seeing as he can’t box at all IMO - goes to show how good physically he is, just like his old man. It’s got him pretty far.

    you've picked the first six rounds of his first ever twelve rounder, against a world class opponent, in a fight which many thought he won, to make your batsht claim that Junior is lazy.

    Of all the +ve and -ve attributes you could level at young CHRIS, you are the only person who would ever suggest he is lazy. simply ridiculous and now you're doubling down on it? keep on digging pal, this'll end well :)

    Canelo breaks Jrs ribs.

    That simple, it would be a massacre.

    Watching Jr-Groves, flashes of immense offensive ability from Eubank in the 2nd and 3rd rounds but mixed up with wild misses.

    Clearly either waiting too long or starting from too far out for the rest of the fight, easily out-strengthed by the bigger man when tied up, and Sanigar didn't have the ability to treat the cut (hand shaking loads).

    He has a lot of work to do in terms of shifting feet and timing.
