So does everyone still think that Eubank would beat BJS in a rematch?

    Chudinov-came to fight, stood toe to toe
    Jeter-tin can
    Sullivan-came to fight, stood toe to toe
    Blackwell-came to fight, stood toe to toe
    Doran-came to lose, knock over job
    Quinlan-Awful, fights once a year if that
    Abraham-Shot to pieces, walking punchbag
    Yildirim-Came to fight, stood toe to toe. Practically leaned on each other.

    Eubank looked devastating against these opponents...I would argue that he would have destroyed these lads in the exact same fashion had he not crossed paths with BJS. What exactly has he improved since that fight, seriously. Not having a go btw. He’s a wrecking machine but what are his technical improvements?

    Completely agree with this. Take a look at the Tyan Booth fight if you haven't see it, Eubank has a lot of problems when the opponents style isn't completely straight forward.

    As long as Groves stays disciplined and works behind the jab he can outbox Eubank for long periods.

    CEJ has been flattered by the opponents he has faced in recent times .His main attributes of great punch output , good chin ( perhaps never tested in a bout) and great engine make him formidable. Styles make fights and someone who can keep the bout at long range stands a much better chance of beating Junior . BJS beat him before and if he truly has addressed his lack of stamina problem I see no reason why he would repeat the result.

    Am sure borg was giving him trouble to and I still don't know how his chin has been proved granite or that he has amazing power because ave never known an amazing puncher to throw as many punchers as he does and for the other fighter to still be on his feet

    Good post. Booth usually boxed at a lower weight and took the fight at very short notice.
