Eubank has been fighting people who would struggle to be ranked in the top 100 domestically. It's easy to look good against fighters who are light years below you technically. I think Eubank is very talented but we need to see him against a fighter who will actually punch back and don't look like they've just been picked from a fruit picking field in Lincolnshire.
I think all are in agreement on the fact that Eubank needs to step up - us boxing fans do like to state the obvious!! What Buncey was saying about him struggling to find opponents domestically makes a lot of sense. As I recall, he would have been in with Hope by now had Kerry not pulled out. It seems that he's just trying to keep as busy as possible until a meaningful fight can be made, so naturally recent opposition has been somewhat disappointing. Although we all know that a fighter's true metal is not proven until they have stepped in with a credible opponent, I do think people have a tendancy to dwell too much on this idea. It's not necessarily a bad thing to trust your instincts and form an opinion based on limited evidence. In the case of Eubank, he is one of the very few fighters that have left me with the impression that his raw talent alone will take him further than most, so my personal opinion is that he is a level above the likes of the aforementioned fighters. Time will tell though.
Maybe not but the gulf of class would be pretty evident. I think if Saunders went all out like Eubank did he would have got the same result basically due to the opponent being utter shite. Eubank does seem to be the bigger puncher and stronger man but Saunders has the work rate and experience. It is an Intriguing fight.
totaly agree any DECENT boxer canlook gd against bums but ppl saying he is best prospect in uk would do ryder cmon wait till he actually fights a top 20 uk lol or sum1 tags his chin a think ryder beats him now maybe not in 18 month but now yes
Very true. At the beginning of his career he fought non punchers which you can understand due to development. But even the fighters he's facing now with what seen good KO ratios the quality hasn't changed or improved.
Eubank jr destroys buglioni on what have seen of frankies defence.The fight will never happen though as frank loves having frankies cheering mob who buy untold tickets for his shows. Ryder in my opinion is a really close fight and because its so close and lose lose for both involved cant see rival promoters making it happen. Bjs is quite simply a class above eubank destroys him wont even be close.Eubank looks good against roadsweepers but does anyone really think its a close fight? This game about levels eubank jr gets taken out.
The italian Bjs just beat would have destroyed the croatian! Lets get eubank in with someone who can take an throw back then we know what we have on our hands.
would love to see Eubank jr vs buglioni but can't see it happening unfortunately. BLS vs. Eubank will be awesome but have a feeling it won't happen for a while.
would love to see eubank get beat then ask his dad if hes still gony be as good as mayweather haha needs to fight somebody at least domestic top 10 guys hes being matched with are shocking out of shape or basicly ww frank could sell buglioni v eubank quite easily
