    He did say that, which was fair. But the comments during the rest of his career suggest delusion. What was the comparison, a mixture of Roy Jones and James Toney wasn't it? And that the ref might be needed to save Groves from excessive dangers

    The comments post fight were spot on but all the other stuff he says undermines that. “He’s gona Burt Groves, I’m worried for his safety”, “I’ve created something unstoppable” or whatever and the rest of the bollocks.

    I think alot of comments of him being deluded relate to him saying amongst other things

    He hopes the ref saves George he's in grave danger

    I almost feel i built Junior too well

    Junior would destroy Ward Golovkin would beat anyone from middleweight to light heavyweight

    I agree he was a bit more realistic after the fight but knowing him that won't last.

    Yeah, I think prior to the fight Groves’s inside work was very underrated. He’s grown up a lot with that in terms of choosing to evade, tie up, land sneaky body shots etc whereas a few years ago his ego got the better of him and he threw with the punches.

    I was confident that his size, strength and attitude would mean him blunting Juniors strengths. Having fought a couple of middleweights in his last 2 fights, his size is not going to count for much in his next fight. It’ll be interesting.

    I know terrible comment. I think he was biased in that opinion as he gets on well with the Eubanks and dislikes Groves.

    Yeah and if I remember correctly he never even fought for the British. Then had the audacity to slag Brook of for stepping up two weights to fight Golovkin.

    Eubank Jr has a attitude of sense of entitlement like Chavez Jr. Yes he has
    talent but all the best modern day boxers have a team of professional experts
    guiding them. Eubank who is guiding him ? Eubank had lived off his father's name and it has given him opportunities the average fighter could only dream of and it has made Eubank very wealthy. A fighters prime at the top is only short and unless Eubank attitude changes ( i doubt it ) Eubank will only be remembered as a spoilt underachiever.

    Lol even after the fight he was already talking about other fights because like you said he has a self entitlement attitude and he knows it's not the end he will get some easy fights for great money and then he will talk himself into a big fight it's a joke his now failed miserably and he was supposed to have improved greatly but get beat worse this time lol

    Still no sign of Bulldog.
    Been saying it for ages, Bulldog24 is Jr.
    It is bloody obvious.

    He admits that Jr lost the fight to BJS here is a previous post-

    “”R1 - Saunders
    R2 - Saunders
    R3 - 10-10
    R4 - Eubank
    R5 - 10-10
    R6 - Eubank
    R7 - 10-10
    R8 - Eubank
    R9 - Saunders
    R10 - Saunders
    R11 - Saunders
    R12 - 10-10

    117-115 Saunders

    What a low-quality fight! Countless missing from both guys, hard to score scrappy rounds. Both looked really poor stamina-wise, Saunders becoming very sloppy in the second half and Eubank Jr only fighting in short spurts and blowing hard.

    Eubank Jr had no balance on the front foot, overcommitting, overstepping... Saunders completely power-less so unable to truly punish him, and rarely took his biggest countering opportunities anyway when Jr would miss by miles..

    The only shot of Eubanks that quite occasionally landed was the right uppercut.

    Neither looked world-class at this stage””

    But his postings on Eubank Sr, Benn and Jr do sound like Eubank Jr.

    Anyway wherever Eubank Jr is right now we at least know he can still hit the heavy bag 1000 times a minute, which is a very important skill (sarcastic)
