Whittaker - Eubank Jr is a good fight. Hate on Whittaker all you want, he’s extremely talented.

'Just focus on a world title. Theres no one at MW to worry about. Janibek has beaten no one and Bentley took him 12 rounds. Lara is over 40 and Garcia hasn't boxed in forever and never at MW and Adames was gifted the WBC belt after Charlo was stripped.

Win at MW then move up and face whoever is the IBF champion. Then it's on to Canelo for undisputed.

Need to get in the ring sharpish and all the MW belt holders have fights so offer Brad Pauls the shot in the next two months and go from there'

If CEJ is now walking around at 190 he may no longer be able to safely make MW. He might need to go back to 168 but, with Eubank, who knows? I agree MW is, sadly , the weakest its ever been but Hamzah is coming along to sort out all that sh"t. I could see Hamzah really establishing himself at 160 for quite a long time.

Jr. thinks people have forgotten how he was stopped and looked like a kid in a playpen against old light middleweight Liam Smith ...I haven't , the kid is a clown, and to say that he only talks about fighting on PPV is beyond ridiculous ...

Yeah but he's avenged that and prior to the first fight Eubank had been in back to back camps of which one was to fight at below MW, his brother had died and he was estranged from his dad. He got caught by Smith and Smith has always been clinical when he smells blood.

Eubank did what he had to do in the rematch. Not sure anyone knows if he can still take a punch it not

'I was kind of hoping the stars would align somehow and lead Whitaker right into Beterbiev's den, not Eubank's cushy namesake'.

Since Whittaker is running very shy of fighting guys like Dan Azeez or Lyndon Arthur, or even Shakan Pitters, I can honestly say he would gnaw his own toes off before he got in the ring with that Beterbiev MoFo.

According to CEJ Whittaker should fight him because they're both brash, exciting & mixed? Genuinely not sure what ethnicity has to do with anything.

Eubank Jr, world champion at yapping.
