Comments Thread For: Eubank Sr. Believes Son Could Still Replace Mayweather One Day

[Armchairhero]

That's dilutional in reality. Poppa loves his boy and still thinks he gave him a set of balls. Sr was a beast and force to be reckoned with back in the day. A career to be proud of ! JR living off dads rep, wearing thin. He got some skills. Looks fit as as many here made a point of? Looks don't count in boxing! Balls count! Stop running, stand and fight, even if it hurts, maybe even surprise yourself. Running when the going gets tough not cutting it. Step up or step off.

Have you actually seen him fight?, he’s a none stop puncher/brawler, he’s only been beaten by pure boxers who show up his limited skills. He never takes a backwards step, he’s hard as nails. If he had huge 1 punch power he would be a force to behold, it could make up for his poor boxing brain.

If you knew your boxing ,balls is probably the one thing you would give jnr. I like him to be fair. And yes he has lost every 50/50 fight he has contested. However , if he can’t beat Degale who I believe is battle worn he might as well call it a day. I like his self belief even though his skills don’t tally up

I'm actually tempted to wager on DeGale knocking him out at 7.50...

Jr has heart, a solid chin, speed and power but he has a lack of fundamental skills, lack of proper footwork and has low ring IQ!

Basically he’s a product of a fighter who relied on his talent his whole career and not working on honing his craft!

Hell, he’s not even the great value Mayweather, Adrian Broner!

I doubt he ever becomes champ due to who’s in the division at 168 and 160 and his ego not to mention his father!

“It doesn’t really matter who the opponent is, can you perform like that”
How can someone who used to box come out with a crazy statement like that. Of course the opponent matters, jr looks great against opponents tailor made for him and terrible against anyone who won’t stand in front of him and let him unload.
“He has all the tools” he has heart, a chin, great stamina and punch volume and his combination punching is class. Those are literally all of his tools, he lacks so many fundamentals it’s not funny.
Jesus Christ snr no wonder your boy sucks if this typifies the kind of guidance he’s been getting.

Hahahaha throwing Jr under the bus, saying he doesn't listen and does what he wants

[Buggy bear]

Is it me or does Eubank senior get mixed up in his own self righteous BS ?

[steeve steel]

Couldn't even replace Mayweather SENIOR if he wanted to! lol

[deathofaclown]

The guy is nearly 30, has no jab, awful balance and footwork and has lost every time he fought real competition.

I don't think he's even going to crack the top 5 of any division, never mind replace the best of a generation. Let's be honest, he's only ever going to win a world title if it's in some vacant title fight against some really poor opponent.

When he said be the next Floyd I thought he meant next defence merchant with high iq. Eubanks not that guy

[Toffee]

To be fair to Senior he didn't say he will replace Mayweather. He said he used to think he would... and maybe still could.

I disagree with him. He won't. But it wasn't the definitive statement being talked about on here.

I still think Junior is a good boxer. The BJS fight was far too soon. He got a fair beating against Groves.

He's a top 10 SMW. Maybe even top 5. He can still win a major title, despite his flaws.
