    The thing that gets me is how much they are hyping him. Let's be honest, Fielding and Smith are both miles in front, then throw in DeGale, Groves etc and he's not even a top 5 SMW in this country.

    I'd say him vs Eubank jnr is a 50/50 fight as well.....Its the typical Hearn / Sky deal, hype the **** out of an average fighter if he can make you some money

    Not sure what your issue with Hearn is, but the reality is everyone does it.

    Look at Cleverly, ****** repeatedly fed him shite and the second he took on a real challenge he folded. Buglioni will do the same.

    I think this is a situation where we have an extremely popular fighter who is genuine and humble, carries himself well. He has his own fashion range I think, also Italian heritage with traditional family values. He is learning for sure but being honest I think British level is as high as he might achieve. I would love him to prove me wrong though.

    Actually I've been impressed with Frank Buglioni. He's showing signs of improvement in every fight and he is a very good body puncher. They're also starting to match him well and his latest foe is probably better than any that Callum Smith is going in with, infact Callum's Smith's opposition is getting a bit worse, I mean Tobias Webb is a Rocky Fielding leftover, while Frank is facing a guy who pushed Martin Murray pretty hard.

    How can you say they are starting to match him well?

    He's not been in with a super middleweight yet!

    Callum smiths opposition has been far far better.

    Callum smith should be facing Rocky Fielding leftovers at this stage.

    Tobias Webb is a super middleweight.

    Really cant see where you are coming from at all.

    Martine Murray isn't a super-middleweight

    but of course expect this to be all we hear before and after the fight "he pushed Murray! he pushed Murray!"

    But Eubank Jnr is a middlweight, why comparing him versus someone who's a different weight?

    So do you reckon he will be fighting for British title in next 2 or 3 fights?

    Not writting him off but he should be fighting guys from his weight class.

    Calzaghe faught some reasonable guys at this stage.
