Will Eubank JR go the furthest of any British MW prospect?

    Very impressed with his attitude, seems to be taking his boxing very, very seriously, comes to the ring in incredible shape and looks to be improving all the time. Not sold on his whole villain act and can understand why it turns some people off him, but something tells me he's gonna go the furthest out of the current crop of UK MW prospects.

    I worry about his psyche because spending your time impersonating your dad can't be healthy.

    Other than that, I agree that he's developing nicely. I would not be surprised if he ended up making noise at world level... on his own merits, not his father's.

    I agree, think he needs to mature in that respect but seems to have great confidence in his abilities which can't be a bad thing

    Eubank Jr will win one of the four world belts at some stage , he would beat James Degale if they fought right now , he could also take out Andy Lee , Craig Mcewan, and any of the other top domestic guys bar Macklin and Murray they might be ready in a year then they are beatable by Eubank jr

    he will be the best of the domestic scene in the next 2-3 years

    The not even full-British Lennox Lewis is the only notable British boxer since the days of Randy Turpin. Ricky Hatton never beat a notable fighter (Malignaggi is not notable - a C level fighter) and got KOd vs the top competition. Joe Calzaghe fought nobodies his whole career, before beating a washed up RJJ (still getting knocked down) and getting a gift vs Bernard Hopkins like Sven Ottke and Oscar DLH always got gift decisions. Benn and Eubank ducked Toney and have an average resume. Hamed also beat no names and got showed up by Barrera. Haye's career in any division is also not worth mentioning. Every heavyweight in the post Lewis era (including both Klistchkos) does not have a notable career due to the weakness of the division. Groves is young so we'll see if he does anything notable in the next few years but for now he has a long way to go.

    And let's not end without diminishing Froch's weak career. Who has Froch beaten outside of a washed up Glen Johnson, and padded record Abraham and Bute (who have never beaten anyone notable)? Froch also got a gift from the ref vs Groves and the judges vs Dirrell. Froch's win over Pascal is not impressive because Pascal is nowhere near the same fighter he was then. And Jermain Taylor was a blind squirrel who stumbled across an acorn vs Bernard Hopkins, and did nothing since then. After his 15 minutes of fame Taylor disappeared quickly, so another weak mark on Froch's record. The Brits should stick to cricket, tea parties, and football because boxing is not for them.

    He doesn't drink or smoke. He is a super dedicated gym rat.

    Has allot of natural talent and is improving all the time.

    His power is also improving and he most likely has inherited his dads chin which cant hurt.

    I think hes going to be world class.

    I hope not for British boxing's sake, because he isn't all that good.

    He progresses though, and has become better as I expected when I saw his early career fights wich made me think he was absolutely going nowhere.
    Like said in earlier posts, first he has to stop impersonating his daddy cause besides it looks silly and fake now, it uses up energy he really needs. Plus because it's not his natural movement better boxers might anticipate on it and make him pay dearly.

    While I'm not very impressed by both either, I think Saunders and Ryder are better atm.
