Eubanks Jr's "Power" = Not Much Better Than Average

I think Eubank is very in tune with his weight. He was still shredded at smw. In comparison with someone like Billy Joe who is really a light middle who boils down to middle but is still really soft. He's prob having English breakfast when not in camp.

I bet jnr is very regimental with diet and weight.

He's not a puncher we know that. Neither was Floyd or ward and both of those are p4p. Power isn't everything

 

It's his aggressive style though innit.
I think the issue with cej is that with his style will he thrive at high level lacking power ...?

 

Both FM & AW have excellent defences hence why they are P4P. Jr has a poor defence n not enough power. will be found out to be a very limited fighter

 

Have you ever seen him wobbled?

His feet are pretty good and he's unorthodox and very awkward. He's super athletic.

Time will tell but has great potential

Not saying he's going to be p4p but using those two as an example of fighters with average power being successful. People bang on about power being the ultimate equalizer when it's not. It's one component which is useless in the wrong hands

 

Well, that doesn't say much for Eubank Jr.
He lost to a guy who's maybe two weight divisions smaller then.

 

Spike O'Sullivan did in the 3rd round of their fight. his feet are definitely not "pretty good", unorthodox, yes, but wild, and open. Having said that i don't think there's much point in this conversation, as you seem very biased towards Jr based on the footwork comment, and i'm admittedly biased against him

 

Eubank Jr clearly has some potential. I can forgive the BJS fight...He lost clearly but it was his first 12 round fight.

But he hasn't fought anyone good since. And it was him not BJS who pulled out of the rematch

 

I'm not biased I think hes a bellend . A very uncongenial chap

Just can't deny his progress. He has toughness and will to win the rest can be learnt

 

I meant in terms of his boxing ability but fair play mate. I don't really see much improvement tbh, and that's without being bias. I respect his workrate and volume and that troubles anyone, but only anyone at domestic to very fringe world level. Personally, think anyone at world level would beat him

i think if chris sat down on his punchers he would hurt fighters more.
i think the speed he throws at takes aware the power he 'could' generate.
if he stripped his fights back and actually threw power shots he would hurt a guy. i think the fact that he throws numerous punches in quick succession takes away the power factor he may have.

remains to be seen though at a high level

 

It wasn't that long ago Freddie was saying GGG was overrated and Pacman would spank him, then 5 minutes later GGG is a p4p king that would KO an elephant
