    Yes, or should I say...maybe. Depending on whos about at the time. There are some soft touches out there holding belts, at times.

    He's massively unpolished at the moment though, at this moment in time he's a long way away from beating a tough British champion let alone getting to that level. As Mand points out the main thing you notice is how forced he is. Nothing comes naturally, he loads up, the 'relaxed style' is all pretend, he's trying way too hard. He needs to slow things down, think about timing shots correctly, think about his transition into shots and forget about throwing punches with brute force.

    What's funny? It's a fair question.

    I think its too early to tell, but if he keeps traning hard and devloping his power i reckon he'll have a good chance in todays boxing scene!! Look at Amir Khan, he wouldn't even be Known if he fought 20 years ago.. Hes a good enough mover, hes got the confidence!! and hes got it in his blood too

    That's a pretty big statement to make at this stage

    chris eubank was a great fighter and a great showman but he's a ****ing idiot. he's already proved to be a **** mentor. he might be better for his son but to say he's 'the perfect mentor' i dont agree with at all.

    i hope he has a beard like his dad because he takes far to many shots to go far in the game imo.

    He's not very good at all IMO.

    Very fun to watch though.

    Too early to tell but if pushed I'd say no.

    No, but I beleive he'll be a very high profile British/Euro/Inter champ on 5 before he inevitably gets derailed.

    Who can possibly say at this point in time? The only reason the question gets asked is because of who is Dad is which unfortunatly isn't a basis for awarding world titles.

    People were calling for Paul Smith after Eubanks first pro fight against a human punchbag. Paul Smith isn't as good as he thinks he is but he'd still chew up and spit out a 1 fight novice.

    Yeah it's too early to tell, he does some nice things and things he needs to work on as you would expect at this stage and without much of an amateur background from what I understand?

    His lack of power or even throwing spiteful shots are a concern though.
