Chris Eubank Snr v Chris Eubank Jnr

[Dark Lord Al]

Whilst Chris Eubank Senior was not the best of his generation. I believe James Toney, Roy Jones and Mike McCallum would have certainly beaten him and Herol Graham and Kalambay would have done as well. Senior did beat Benn and Watson and these fighters were a lot better than anyone Junior has beaten.

Junior footwork is poor and the only thing he is better than his dad is his work rate and stamina. If they fought Junior would try and outwork Senior but the straight punches from dad would be simply too much for his son. Senior would win on points.

Styles make fights Eubank SR didn't like it when someone just keep coming to him throwing punches - Collins , Schommer ( who beat him for me ) Ray Close etc.
Eubank SR was overrated as is his son.
Both have good chins but JR has a far better engine.

Agree with bits of that, but I think Sr’s Jab frustrates Jr. And keeps him at bay.
And to put it into perspective, if somebody put up a thread for say, Sr. v Groves or Sr. v Froch , I think it might be a 50/50 split. And we saw what Groves did to Jr. And no doubt Froch would beat Jr.

I don't think Jr hits Sr much. He falls short with the jab and flatters to deceive. His dad had much better fundamentals and would make him look even more novice like than he does now on occasion. Clear wide points win by the ridiculously monocled jodhpur wearing buffonish Sr.

Styles do make fights and hustle could get to Sr. But Sr was just a harder man. He dealt with fire better. Speaks volumes that at same 8,9 yr point in career Sr was considered a bit 'done' but I think it speaks to the gap in levels, competition both faced and when they faced them. The ring composure between the two seems very wide. In fairness Jr is just hitting stride so hopefully he can cast his own shadow and get another crack at a major belt to make a statement.
