To be fair to Eubank, he's done better than many expected, even if he never reached top level. Most people at the start of his career though he was just living off his dads name and would fail at a low level.
He's not great, but he's shown he can compete at a good level. Having your only losses being a close points loss to Saunders and a points loss to Groves is nothing to be ashamed of. Not everyone can be elite. That said, i think a fully fit Saunders would have made him look even worse than Groves did. It's common knowledge that Saunders was about 50% fit and drinking and stuff around that time. Even so, i think he will be competitive against anybody, even if he comes up short.
Same can be said for Chavez really. He was never a top level fighter, but still got further than pretty much 99.9% of people that walk into a boxing gym with aspirations. He has wins over solid fighters like Andy Lee.
Chavez jr is the best Son of boxing outside of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
I disagree..Cory Spinks and Tracey Patterson accomplished much more..Anthony Mudine was also the son of a boxer and he accomplished more the Chavez
You don't think Chavez's World Champion status brings far more to the table than Eubank Jr who in all fairness may never become a World Champion? I know the belt that Chavez won was a Mickey Mouse Belt but surely
I know Chavez Jr fought some $41tty fighters in his career but he's had decent wins like Andy Lee who was actually a World Champion in his own right having won a vacant to a solid fighter in Korobov and drew with Quillin (another World Champion).
Jr's best wins were a shot to death Abraham and Yildrim (who, let's just face it - walk straight into you).
Chavez won his title against a nobody. Eubank would have gotten a belt too if his godfather was the president of the WBC. I don't think it really means much. Eubank's two losses are both to great fighters and he didn't get blown out by either of them.

Nah, I think Tim Tszyu is during well.

He's climbing steadily and I'd rate him more at this rate than Eubank Jr and he's climbing up, up and up.
Eubank is a better fighter. Chavez only had success at 160 because he had a massive size advantage over his opponents, once he moved up in weight he looked terrible. Eubank also has more time on his side to improve his legacy while Chavez is pretty much done.
