Who here honestly thinks Badou Jack would have beaten Eubank Jr at 168?

    Eubank would light up Jack with a few shots, but would then eat a few counters since he leaves himself open after his flurries.

    Jack would press him and not allow him to coast. It would be a war of attrition in the later rds, with Jack catching a tiring Jr in the championship rds.

    And what would be prime Eubank, lol?

    The Sanders fight?

    You think Degale is going to stand in front of Jr the way Yildrim or Abraham did and get destroyed?

    Degale is one style that would always give Eubank fits.

    I admit I thought Eubank had progressed far more than he has in fact. His skill set looks even more limited now.

    He's teak tough and has a fighters mindset but unless he is involved in a brawl he looks lost.

    Fun to watch but limited

    He has not improved or changed in the slightest since the Saunders fight it just looked like he had because he went back to fighting domestic level opposition and the ghost of Abraham.

    I think he had improved a little, but he's improved what he was already good at - not what he actually should have improved, if that makes sense.

    I don't even like Badou Jack and am always
    critical of him, but had he fought that same Eubank,
    he would've dominated him.

    Jack ruined Degale should have gotten the nod in that fight, close win over Groves... He's underrated while Jr. is overrated. Beats him without a doubt.

    The prob with James is he has never been able to produce a complete perfomance. He looks on top for the openzing stanza and then come the second third of the fight he looks bang in trouble.

    It's certainly an interesting fight on paper - shot, overhyped Degale or prime nowhere near as good as advertised CEJ. I'd watch it.

    Jack beats him well, Badou Jack is a really good fighter. Chris Eubank Jr is a mediocre fighter, as of this moment.

    He would dominate him worse than Groves did. Jack is one of the most textbook fighter active, tight guard, solid jab, doesn’t waste shots, goes to the body and rarely loses his shape.

    60/40 for jack in my opinion.. jack is abit overated on here... that ko vs Edwards makes me weary of him.. if Edwards can do that eubank could def catch him at somme point.. but if he doesn't catch him jack wins on the cards..
