    He's the only big name free agent bar Haye that I'm aware of so unless it's an international signing it has to be him.

    Could be a let down if it's not Eubank.

    I can't see fast Eddie putting up with Eubank Snrs nonsense but it would make sense for that link up to happen

    Could it be a link up with Andy Lee and Adam Booth ?

    He has said before that he would love to have Eubank Jr on the team

    Hearn says a lot of things - the vast majority turns out to be BS. As I said I can't see the Eubanks have any other uk options since they apparently don't want to work with FW anymore.

    hhahahahaah that is very true the blokes a muppett.

    I think he doesn't want to work with FW anymore because he doesnt want to box the likes of Cox,Langford etc

    Hearn could actually do quite a lot for JR

    Maybe but who is he going to box under fast eddie? probably an endless supply of short notice 8/10 rounders against latvian bums ala Martin Murray for chump change... I'm not sure whats happening with Lee - Saunders but assuming that happens it would be easy for Frank to set up a match with the winner which i thought would be right up the Eubanks street.

    in my opinion Jr is a talented boy, has all the tools to be a real name in the sport, Eddie putting him on Sky alone will help him out

    In theory but being on sky means next to nothing if he is going to be fighting Latvians on miss-matchroom cards- he's been there done that on channel 5.

    The middleweight division is tricky if your not with Haymon who has Jacobs/Quillion etc obviously Cotto/Canelo/GGG/Lemeiux is out of the question so that only leaves Andy Lee who after he probably beats Saunders will go back to the states for big money.
