Not sure what is going on with Eubank at the moment, but he really needs to get his career going at MW/SMW. He has a lot of names in around both weights that he could fight. Jacobs, Charlos, Lem, stevens etc at MW would be a good test for him.
Good shout! Never thought of it before but that would be a great fight.
Eubank Jr is a very good fighter, but i don't actually think he's a very skilled boxer, so he wouldn't simply outbox Lemieux with pure skill like others could do. He's quick and throws a lot of shots but clumsy at time and has awful balance too, and he basically likes a brawl more than a boxing match. Even if Jr did try to start out boxing, it wouldn't take much to drag him into a toe to toe fight.

Apparently he's fighting Arthur Abraham next
I wonder if he can even make 160 that well now. His last fight was 168 and it seems his next one will be. Also, most of his fights that didn't have some sort of belts involved seemed to be fought at weights like 164, so he was only going to 160 when he had to.

Fighting Abrahams could be a good move. He could definitely out work him but like you I don't think Eubank is a skillful boxer. It'd be a fight and we will see if he has a chin. If he has one like he's father he wins. I've got a feeling he doesn't though.
Great fight for Lemieux. Eubank has a high profile and can bring in a good payday. A win over him will strengthen Lemieux's bargaining leverage. He has to be carefull because of the risk of a hometown decision if he fights in the UK.
