CHRIS EUBANK JR could still replace Floyd Mayweather as boxing's pound-for-pound king, according to his father. Eubank Jr is gearing up for a pivotal clash with James DeGale at London's O2 Arena next Saturday. The 29-year-old is looking to rebuild his reputation after suffering another high-profile defeat against George Groves in the semi-final of the World Boxing Super Series last year.

Yes. He's not replacing, Mayweather! Ever what is he even talking about? He may look descent against soft competition. I thought he looked poor again Groves and more so against BJS. There was another fight I saw as well were something looked way off to me. Yet he did a lot of talking before that fight and dint back up his pre fight talk. I don't think De gale is very good so he may have a chance. So maybe its unfair of me to say he has no balls. He just looks so sloppy and wild at times. I would expect amateur fighters to fight like that, almost falling over after missing punch after punch. I'm not saying he's the worst guy in the division but to compare him to Mayweather. I just don't see any comparison there at all, none. Like may others here pointed out his dad is a problem and should probably keep his thoughts to himself. I don't see how that help JR in any way that got to suck for him.
Don’t get me wrong he shouldnt be mentioned in the same breath as Mayweather. His dad is off his rocker even suggesting it.
You know I actually think DeGale will beat Eubank on Sat, that is how little faith I have in him. I sat in a room full of Eubank believers from those silly instagram clips of him throwing 2 million punches in 5 seconds and told them he wouldn't stand a chance against Groves.
I wasn't let down then and can't see him delivering on Saturday.
Lol.... True but Degale is finished in my eyes. He can be outworked, outmuscled and even when he was in the heights of his powers he would always need a few rounds to regroup and is too easily backed up against those ropes that will suit Eubank.
George Groves as much as I was not really a fan of his had a world class jab and had a good overhand right. Degale doesn’t have no power that will trouble a iron clad chin like Eubank’s.
Degale has a good chin himself but I think the fight will play out similar to the Billie Joe fight where Eubank will come on when Degale slows down but Eubank will overwhelm him and stop him. I don’t know why but I still believe in Eubank. He will never have the quickest feet but he has to develop a jab or he is F#ucked but even no jab he beats Degale.
If you knew your boxing ,balls is probably the one thing you would give jnr. I like him to be fair. And yes he has lost every 50/50 fight he has contested. However , if he can’t beat Degale who I believe is battle worn he might as well call it a day. I like his self belief even though his skills don’t tally up

The boy is just a fitness fanatic who was lucky to have the chance to build a residual fitness base through privilege ..that's it I'm afraid ..still at least he's got rid of abbot and Costello in his corner ( his dad and seniors old trainer )..if degale has anything resembling anything left he wins ..simple as that
Have you actually seen him fight?, he’s a none stop puncher/brawler, he’s only been beaten by pure boxers who show up his limited skills. He never takes a backwards step, he’s hard as nails. If he had huge 1 punch power he would be a force to behold, it could make up for his poor boxing brain.

When you have names like Quinlan, O'Sullivan and a 40yr Abrahams as your signature wins...
You are touching greatness.
A place in the HOF beckons young Christopher.
Ok seriously can anybody contact Sr
Anybody got a number , e-mail , address
Gotta get me some of that chit he’s on
Now that’s the real good stuff
C’mon man , I really fughin need it
Poor Sr and Jr
To be fair to Senior he didn't say he will replace Mayweather. He said he used to think he would... and maybe still could.
I disagree with him. He won't. But it wasn't the definitive statement being talked about on here.
I still think Junior is a good boxer. The BJS fight was far too soon. He got a fair beating against Groves.
He's a top 10 SMW. Maybe even top 5. He can still win a major title, despite his flaws.
The guy is nearly 30, has no jab, awful balance and footwork and has lost every time he fought real competition.
I don't think he's even going to crack the top 5 of any division, never mind replace the best of a generation. Let's be honest, he's only ever going to win a world title if it's in some vacant title fight against some really poor opponent.
“It doesn’t really matter who the opponent is, can you perform like that”
How can someone who used to box come out with a crazy statement like that. Of course the opponent matters, jr looks great against opponents tailor made for him and terrible against anyone who won’t stand in front of him and let him unload.
“He has all the tools” he has heart, a chin, great stamina and punch volume and his combination punching is class. Those are literally all of his tools, he lacks so many fundamentals it’s not funny.
Jesus Christ snr no wonder your boy sucks if this typifies the kind of guidance he’s been getting.
