    Tim Bradley got a gift against Jaime Rangel.

    Pacquaio lost to some midgets who I can't even name.

    Adonis Stevenson lost to journeyman Darnell Boone.

    George Foreman got a gift against Axel Schultz.

    Doesn't mean they all aren't great or very good fighters.

    Yes he was a good fighter , but not many outside of the UK even considered him champion at either MW or SMW. WBO let him fight journeymen on his world tour.

    To be honest Eubank sr , got us all talking the guy plays people rubs you up the wrong way,
    Chris was standing in the ring with his man bag under his arm, it was pure theater his son
    is a good fighter and would beat Billy Joe easily.
    Chris jr is a good prospect and is coming along nicely, the pantomime bad boy is back it's
    all fun chaps.

    I can agree with that as Roy Jones or James Toney woulda have beaten the hell out of him and he has admitted as much.

    Eubanks very best was when he beat Benn and watson, that Eubanks earned the respect Roy Jones. After he got the sky fat contract he never had any real intention of taking on the top US fighters when there was easy money to be made at home.

    Nearly killing Watson made him determined to make as much money as possible without damaging the opponent his main objective. There is nothing wrong with what he did. However he was not simply the best, that was just the hype.

    Yes his chin was made of iron.

    Lets see how his son does in the game. He has his dads knowledge and name to help him get the platform but it is his own hard work and talent that will define where he ends up in the game. I think he is naturally more gifted than his dad but does he have the same hunger, drive and determination to get through when the going gets tough? We will see.

    You could be wright but the both are a good double act, and he's is selling his son far play to him
    it's what fathers do, but if Jr is not up to it he will be found out as you no there is no hiding place in this game.

    Chris Eubank seems to be a rather unusual person with an unorthodox approach to things. I remember watching that documentary years ago by Louis Theroux and thinking it was a fantastic performance, but you wondered where the real Eubank was and why he was covering himself in so many odd layers and layers that often didn't seem to make much sense. It was very funny when he decided he needed to teach Theroux a lesson in the gym. In every aspect wanting to be an 'example for the kids' or some such thing, but then wanting to prove himself in the ring against a dandy documentary maker. 'Hit me harder', I think he kept saying. Wonderful stuff. I love it when a man gives another man a free shot at his head and the other man is crapping himself thinking 'He's mad'. It is almost Shakespearian in its absurdist glory.

    I've never seen Eubank Jnr fight, but wish him well and for him to keep it real. Leave the monocles to the old man who is a pro with those kinds of props. Be yourself and be the best you can be. Keep the ego bubble at bay for it will always pop.

    Really ? Confidence and self belief are important but stepping over into arrogance and self delusion are surely dangerous and in the end self defeating.
    LOLOL... yea, young Eubanks isn't quite there yet. lolololol.... but he can be. I see tremendous handspeed and coordination in addition to very good combinations and pressure- the power is yet to be determined. I do also give him an un-qualified assessment on his endurance- I think he can go 12 hard rounds.

    One would expect Eubank Sr to say flattering things about his son, but he's not doing Junior any favours by according him such status, when he hasn't won anything yet.

    I mean, Roy Jones Jr, James Toney & Roberto Duran?

    Senior needs to rein it in, otherwise Junior's ego might get so large that Vladimir Putin might annex it & make it part of Russia!
