    It's crazy to think he had a lot.of hype once. Hell, I thought there was literally 0% chance that Froch would beat him.
    That was him at his best or close to it.

    He's recently been competitive with domestic level fighters like smith and murray. And he's too inactive. He's got a tight guard though and ok punch even though he hasn't knocked anyone out in years.

    Also, for some reason i'm not sold on Eubank's chin or stamina.

      Wow that is nuts especially with Dirrell and Wards amateur pedigree but I suppose despite that they were still relative unknowns at the time.
      I hope for similar unpredictability in the upcoming World Boxing Super series tournaments. I'd love some big upsets in that to really shake things up.

          Anyone have a guess as to when the main event will start?

          I'm over on the east coast of the US

            He can't win. The speed, youth, and combinations of Junior will overwhelm him.

              People were asking why Ward was even in it! He only got in because bute refused as far as I remember.

                  Also I remember a lot of people hyping up Dirrell to win the tourney.

                  Jermain Taylor was probably the least favorite.

                    I hate to say this but I can see Arthur getting stopped.
