Billy Joe Saunders potential

He looked really good on Sat night and think he's a lot better than Eubank. Cant see him beating any the world champs at the moment or Barker and Murray, but I can see him beating Macklin or Lee. With the John Ryder fight I think that if he doesn't win on points he'll get stopped in the later rounds.

 

He looked pretty good, still a bit to go though.

 

Based on what, he has not been out of domestic level yet. He has only fought mid level fighters at best. To go ALL THE WAY like you said he has to be able to defeat GGG, Martinez,Barker Sturm,Murray,Quillin....... I'm not sure he can beat any of these guys much less several of them. I would like to know what your definition of all the way is.

 

He doesn't have the power to crack an egg.

All the punches land on Spike and at the end it looked like he just stepped out of the shower.

 

why do you bum eubank jr so much? he lost to Luke bastone and got schooled by Liam Williams in sparring, hes struggling to be light middles who should be welterweights and your talking like hes our biggest prospect at middleweight.

The bloke would stuggle to beat lee noble let alone billy joe or nick blackwell.

 

throwing that many punches you gotta be able to at least do some damage

 

I know man, I noticed this also.... it's strange that he is hyping up a guy that will only get to domestic level max, there's no way he would beat Saunders.

Is lewisham boy related to eubank jnr or something? friends with him? Ive noticed lewishamboy talks about black and mixed raced fighters a lot, maybe his biased delusion is because he's the same race as him. Quit sucking dick.

You should talk about Eubank vs Adam Etches.... that's the level Eubank is on.. but even then I'd pick etches over eubank jnr.
To even compare him to Saunders is hilarious.

 

he might be related to him as simon and chris eubank sr grew up in them neck of the woods!

it turned out eubank sr was mates with delroy grant the night stalker lol quite scary really, i actaully like eubank sr cant stand his spoilt son though!

 

Hi styleuponstyle :hi: Just out of interest, how many alt accounts have you created since you were banned?

I don't support fighters based on their race - anyone thats seen my posts on here for the last 6 yrs will tell you that. I think Eubank JR would beat BJS, thats just my opinion....deal with it.

I like Saunders and wish him well, just don't see him making it past domestic level.

 

I first peeped him against Noble on the Khan vs. Salita undercard, and have been following him fight to fight since Hammond.

In the last few years his boxing skills have been polished to a fine sheen, but his endurance and durability still leave much in doubt.

With some power and better ability to pace himself his outlook at international and elite level would be much brighter.

 

No Terry im not related to Eubank. Loads of people knew Delroy Grant and never suspected him of anything, he was a quiet polite guy that you'd never suspect was capable of such evil, so thats not a blemish on Chris SR

And in answer to your previous question, I don't even rate Eubank JR too highly, just think he has a better chance of making it on world level than BJS who i'm not sold on at all. Don't know why that winds you up?

 

This is the first account I've made, it seems to me that you do follow fighters based on race but we'll agree to disagree. You must be the only person on here who thinks eubank jnr has a better chance than saunders at world level, Your view is probably one in a thousand. So I'm right to think you have a biased delusion.

I also was a big fan of his dad, he's one of my favourite fighters ever, but his son has nowhere near the same abilty, and is getting far too overhyped. Middlewieight is very strong in the UK , Eubank's most achievable hope is to win the british title.

 

Last winter I rated the young UK middleweight prospects as follows:

1) Saunders
2) Ryder
3) Eubank

...with Saunders more distanced from the others than Ryder and Eubank are from each other.

I stand by that, although Saunders has shown potentially worrisome trends against Blackwell and O'Sullivan, and by his own admission found the rickety Matthew Hall quite troublesome despite widely outpointing him (not without spoiling and throwing a damper on the later frames) with his cagey nature and said he was impacted by some of Hall's body shots.

If Saunders gasses against Ryder, he will likely be able to sneak his way to the finish line - but there is the chance that Ryder (whose power is better than his record would tell you; and whose skill is underrated with his near-miss amateurs loss against Groves and giving Barker top-notch sparring) could take advantage with a behind-on-the-cards stoppage. Eubank can hang with Saunders athletically, but I don't think he can stop him and he isn't as clever or versatile in the ring.

Now, Ryder vs. Eubank is the one that piques my interest...

 

because hes getting all this hype over aba champions just because of his dads name. Did you not see his last fight? Getting outboxed by a journeyman light middleweight!

Look at his fight againts that fat midget on the undercard of degales first fight with hennesey did you not see the amount of mistakes he made!

plus his brother seb eubank is a bully

 

massive stamina problems, no power good boxing skills but will be kod once he steps up the competition
