Chris Eubank Jr applies to represent Great Britain at the Olympics...

Spot on, these Eubanks are ranking up there with the likes of Haye and Briggs, anything for headlines apart from actually taking big fights, not a interview goes by without mentioning bjs, ggg or someone he will never beat.

 

He will get schooled like he did against BJS, it's a loose-loose situation. He wins and everyone will say he was supposed to. He looses and he will get ridiculed. Professional boxing is a different sport to amateur boxing. Completely different.

 

He would toast Fowler and Fowler isn't a teenager he's pretty much the same age as CEJ.

Why don't you want the best representing your country. Some am's could win World titles on their pro debut if they were given the opportunity, the comp is by no means easy for a pro.

Most kids grow up wanting to olympic gold, Eubank just wants to live the dream. Its not like it will stall his career, it will only be a couple of months out.

 

No mate dont agree that some ams could win a world title in there 1st pro fight.
My current favourite active boxer tried that and he was the best am on the planet at the time and up there and some would argue best of all time. although to be fair he did it on his second attempt but loma is a very rare occurence.And also lets not forget he was involved in wsb. Its never been done and whilst not impossible its highly, highly, highly unlikely.

 

It's clearly attention seeking. There's no way CEJ is going off to the olympics. That said, it would have been hilarious to watch Fowler. The guy is one of the biggest whiners in the sport so it would have been a twitter meltdown of epic proportions.

 

:rofl

Good one. :good

 

Clowns the pair of them.

 

What happened to "fighting GGG"? :conf

 

They don't know what they want

 

lol @ loose-loose situation. But I agree, he'd lose, people think that these amateurs are kids and scrubs, not rigos, and lomas.

 

Good point. It shows how quickly we sometimes forget the B.S some speak for it only to be mentioned halfway down the 2nd page. You can bet this aint entered the minds of casuals. Just shows.

 

I rate Eubank highly, but did you know he went out of the aba novices in the very first round againts a guy called Luke Batestone from Moulsecoombe abc.
