    32 years after their dad's did battle in the ring, Benn calls out Eubank Jr for a battle in the ring.

    Who takes it ? Would you be interested if the fight happens?

    Benn is the better overall and tis the more technically gifted boxer. However Eubank is a weak divison talent wise whilst Benn is probably in the strongest divison going.

    That said there's weight classes for reason and Eubank does carry decent power, hand speed and has his father's chin. The Step up to MW to fight a former SMW WC would be too much for Benn and size advantage would show.

    I don't think this fight happens anytime soon and this is just a PR stunt by both sides to getting people talking more about them.

    Benn always calls out everyone yet he never fights anyone relevant

    I saw an interview with Eubank Jr earlier and three potential opponent mentioned were

    GGG (nearly 40 years old, looked knackered in his last fight and hasn't fought in over a year)

    Conor Benn (lower weight class)

    Kell Brook (lower weight class, broken eye socket, washed up)

    fight someone active in your own weight class CEJ

    Didn`t he win the garbage IBO belt? Could Benn beat the current IBO super middle champ?

    I don't recognize belts that nobody is going out of their way to challenge for.

    My mistake, I thought he won a wolrd title when he beat a completely shot Degale ( I thought he won the IBF however it was the IBO,' which don't count for ****).

    Why are you trying to put Lil G in protective custody from the threats of CEJ, Jermell Charlo and Boo Boo Andrade.

    To be fair, Eubank is a bit shite anyway. Wouldn't pick him against Golovkin, and not even confident he'd beat Brook. I'd pick him v Benn but he's small for Welterweight
