    I think Chris Eubank is a slight step up and Caleb should beat him fairly easy. I feel both fighters have slightly more pop then malignaggi plant is to slick, fast, better jab, just has a high fight in period.
    Good step up, little risk.

    If he stands with Eubank he loses. He ain’t no George Groves. At some stage Jnr turns it up and starts hurting Plant

    I can see that, but can he ride the rough patches Jnr brings? He doesn’t have to worry as much as he did with Groves coming in..

    Eubank to me doesn’t have the jab, power, or consistent body attack to do **** to plant.

    I think Eubank is overrated a bit myself.

    I don't think Porky was even close to 100% for that fight, he missed weight and his knee was ****ed up, he was wearing a brace, and even that version of Medina started giving him issues late in the fight. Caleb seems like a good guy, and he did well against a compromised Medina, but as much as I hate Eubank, and find him limited, Plant doesn't have anything close to impeccable defense, and he's not close to as heavy handed as Groves. Personally I think Jr. would stop him. CEJ is reprehensible, and will lose to most top tier guys, but still have enough to beat most 2nd tier guys fairly easily, and I think Plant is solidly second tier.

    Plant's not a good styles matchup for Eubank right now. He's just not well schooled enough despite having the physical tools to be great at cutting off the ring & tracking down movers.

    If Eubank spent some time with Abel Sanchez, it's a different story. That's the kind of trainer he needs if he's going to make the next step.
