How do you see him doing against the better super middles outside the tourney like DeGale, Ramirez and Benavidez?

Dont see why the latter 2 are "better". There are guys in this tourney who are better.
If Eubank wins then the only fight that matters is DeGale. -
I think he knocks them all out except for possibly Benavidez. Benavidez might have a chance to beat him if he improves. Eubank has really come into his own now. He would KO Saunders with ease now in my opinion. I think he will win this tournament with all wins coming by KO.Comment

Eubank is an elite fighter who could clean out the divisionComment

I think Eubank Jr beats DeGale. DeGale seems to be one of the more overrated guys at the tip top of a division to me. I thought he probably coulda lost to Porky. I thought he definitely lost to Jack. His record isn't as good on Eff Pandas Boxrec.
Ramirez might be a harder style matchup despite Ramirez not looking all that great last time out so I think this is probably a closer fight & where this fight is at (US vs UK) might be what decides it if neither guy could KO the other & I think thats likely to be the case.
Eubank Jr vs Benavidez would be a war, highly competitive & fun. Potential FOTY type fight. I think Eubank Jr edges it on experience, but if there was anyone who I think gots the best chance to KO Eubank Jr at 168 it'd probably be Benavidez. I'd love to see this fight sometime around this time next year when Benavidez has had a couple more fights & leveled up a bit more + regardless if Eubank Jr wins the WBSS tournament or not.Comment

I agree with that. DeGale doesn't seem to be able to fight for 3 minutes around for 12 rounds. I don't see DeGale stopping Eubank and Eubank's workrate and explosiveness would win him the fight because DeGale goes through huge patches of inactivity in the ring.
I like DeGale, he looks real quality at moments in his fights but then seems to switch off. I don't know if it's a mental thing or worried about stamina. I think Eubank would be all wrong for DeGale.
I think Eubank v Groves is more interesting. Groves always seems to have a bit of vulnerability but he is heavy handed and has a very nice jab. He could give Eubank problems for a while in the fight on the end of the jab and his sharp right hand but Groves seems to get tired late on and that's where Eubank could beat him.Comment

I've said from day one that eubank jr is good enough to be P4P #1. He has everything you need, speed, variety, power and maybe most importantly, he has a good chin. He's not there yet but it is possible.Comment

Idk I think BJS is a tougher style matchup for him. These guys who got good movement & high level boxing ability are gonna give Eubank Jr problems imo. I think he beats BJS in a rematch now, but I think its a decision. All the faults BJS has, in & out of the ring, he's still a crafty intelligent fighter.
I do think there is a very good chance Eubank Jr KO's his way through this whole tournament. The assumption is he'll fight Groves in the semis & Callum in the finals & if Groves isn't able to avoid being KO'd I don't see Callum being able to.
To me Eubank Jr vs Groves is pretty much the finals of this tournament unless Callum looks a whole lot better or Brant has some sorta Andre Ward in the Super Six type prospect to leader of the division transformation during tournament in real time that I just don't see happening, but who knows.Comment
