    -Junior is very strong. I am not suprised the way he was throwing Groves around in the clinches that Grove's arm popped out. He is strong and explosive, good qualities for a puncher.

    He needs the trainer, and he needs someone to teach him how to stalk, cut the ring off, and set traps... Tyson used to study fighters, Eubank JR could really help his cause doing the same. But he needs the trainer.

    -Junior is relaxed. He really looked composed and is able to settle into his plan...I liked the way he looked compared to Grove initially....So he has composure, and could turn that into stone cold confidence when he learns to move in the ring.

    Look guys... I used to know a computer hacker who was incredible so one day I so much as say so, and ask him why he doesn't do anything upper level pay? He laughs and tells me there are guys so much better than him when we are talking the real monty. To say that Junior is not a top ten elite fighter is not a death sentence, he can be very good and even perhaps win a championship...perhaps...without being in the class of a Canelo, GGG, etc. Certainly he could fight the British cream of the crop better with a decent trainer...I could see him fighting BJ sanders, or Groves and winning in a rematch if he learns how to use his legs.
    I have noticed he seems to listen to Floyd Sr so maybe he should think about moving over there

    Worth a shot

        He's 27 years old. There is no chance he'll make world level now.... unless you consider Renald Quinlan and Avni Yildirim to be World Level.

        He's B level and that's it. If he's lucky they'll buy a title off the easiest luckiest title holder.

          Good angle on the mentorship for sure. Great osmosis given that gym and who hangs out there.

            Take some time and regroup. I think he really is better suited for middleweight honestly. For damn sho, get a better cut man and corner in general, then tune up, then chase the dream

              A return to 160 with proper trainer. IMO 1 solid 3 fight year at 160 could have him in the hunt for a title if the right opponents were picked. 160 is soft come to Canada beat up on lemieux .

                He needs to learn how to box. He was terrible in the Groves fight. He needs a trainer to teach him the fundamentals. He's a hot mess...
