Better Apprenticeship - Yafai, Eubank Jnr or Buglioni?

I'm sold on Yafai, really think he can go all the way to the top. Future superstar.

Difficult to tell with Eubank Jr, some good performances but unimpressive in others. Think beyond European but falling short of the world title is his level.

Not been greatly impressed by Buglioni tbh, some guys don't look good against the journeymen though so it may be down to that.

 

In terms of apprenticeship I think Eubank Jr has had it very good terrestrial tv, regular fights against good opposition.

He basically went straight in at area level and fought in competitive fights there have been few journeymen it is generally people that fight back.

 

No idea why Jnr gets so much hate.

 

Eubank Jr. has faced the toughest test in Pryce but overall his quality of opposition has been weak. Yafai has fought a couple of decent fighters but he's only had 6 fights. Buglioni has done very little so far and is still yet to face an opponent with a winning record.

As far as their performances go, it's no contest. Yafai is head and shoulders above the other two, and whilst he's not faced great opposition yet, he has the potential to fight someone like Haskins and not be shown up. Buglioni and Eubank Jr. both need easy fights for a while.

 

I respect Yafai's talent and activity, but he hasn't fought anybody yet.

Eubank Jr has went up against the better opposition while still fighting regularly and, for me, has clearly had the better apprenticeship so far.

 

For me,Yafai is far and away the better talent of the 3 and could be wrong but think easily the best amateur.He is also showing ability to stop opponents,which the other 2 are struggling to do.Could be ready for a title shot of some kind early 2014 whereas the others IMO no chance for at least 3 years.

 

3 years is overstating it. Eubank Jr has moved pretty well to area kind of level, and if he continues at this pace he's not going to be that far from a title shot at the end of 2013 going by the fact he's already beaten Pryce who is probably a gatekeeper of sorts.

Buglioni and Yafai have fought very mediocre opposition, Yafai can afford to be moved faster as he's in a crap division with no real steep progression curve and he's more polished.

Eubank has fought the best opposition, the other two equally bad and Eubank has fought on Channel 5 and often so I don't see any other answer than him.

 

I'd go with Eubank as well, on the basis that as mentioned, he's probably been in with the tougher opposition with the likes of Pryce and Carruthers so he's had some decent tests already, as well as getting mainstream exposure on terrestrial TV.

Yafai isn't far behind though, he's been even more active since turning pro, I just think his opposition is a bit more unproven. However he's easily the most advanced and polished of the 3 at this point in time and ready for a step up already I think, whereas Eubank might have to be taken back a peg or stick around the same level for a bit.

Buglioni has fought the worst opposition of the 3, been the least active and despite his already existing fanbase, he's getting the least exposure, so he's way behind Eubank and Yafai at the moment.

 

I certainly would not categorise him as being "slow" ..................
