    Well Ireland has only ever had 1 Ring Magazine Champion ever so I am not sure when we will see another reach the same level as your favourite fighter Callum Smith

    He don't look like ha has half a stone to loose. Maybe he is growing into SM. If he can loose the weight and stay strong then he should.

    If he’s weighing in at the super middleweight limit on fight night then he could make middle...

    Smith would dwarf him in the ring, it would be a total mismatch, both in terms of size and ability. Jnr isn't bad, he's got a good chin and a decent enough punch on him, but he'll never be the boxer that Smith is, never.

    No way would this fight ever happen. Smith is too big, too skilful and too fast for Junior. This kind of fight would whack an unbelievable amount of mileage on Junior, it’s just not worth it. He needs to keep cherry picking the right names, building the brand and making himself the main man on ITV box office, he doesn’t need a fight that may derail that.

    I cant see how Eubank wins this.... he can beat guys that are better boxers than him assuming he is bigger than him, but with smith he will be in with a better boxer who is also bigger than him. Thats why i cant see him taking the fight, Eubank Snr didnt fight the people at his peak iof he didnt think he stood a chance i dont see him advising his son any differently?

    Jr would be much better at middleweight. His only real world class attribute is his conditioning, and that should be used to see him take advantage at the lower weight.

    The only reason for him to be at super middleweight is the easier competition, and because of that I don't see him fighting Smith.
