Comments Thread For: Eubank Sr: My Son is a True 160-Pounder, Maybe Time To Return

[lolpz]

Truax would make sense next

He kinda reminds me of Wilder. Limited boxing skills but compensates for that with athleticism and being a big puncher

If he can put a win or two together at middleweight I think a Canelo fight would be fun

Interesting comparison. You might be on to something except I feel Eubank is very skilled but just underdeveloped.

I don't mind Eubank because he whipped Vagni Dildrim, but the guy I can't respect fully because he ducked GGG for less money and lesser opponents. Perfect world he'd fight GGG at MW and then unify with BJS at SMW and beat him. I don't think he beats GGG but it tarnishes his legacy for avoiding the dominant champ vin his natural division. Might be after that Canelo money too, but why would he get the chance ahead of someone else?

Maybe he'll take a Lemieux fight at MW or Brant

Alot of negativity and dislike for Chris which is sad. Those of you who dislike Chris so much asking which belt he wins are thinking with emotions instead of knowledge, it's funny how everyone thinks they know it all. Dirrell just beat Yildrim for the WBC title and Chris beat both of them already, that's should be his next move. With the WBC title he can secure a big money fight with Canelo or GGG. All you haters are a joke.

I really see not a lot of improvements in Eubank...I just saw a washed up fighter in DeGale fighting him instead of a good skilled and not yet washed up guy like Groves. Don't forget Truax beat DeGale guys.

Eubank isn't physically outmatched at 168. His issue is a lack of skill so he has to be matched well. His losses have come against movers w/ B+ to A- defenses (which, unfortunately for him, is the style of the top of 168).

I'd match him against Abraham or a rematch against Chudinov for an alphabet title. Abraham is tailor made for him and he already has a W against Chudinov.

Eubank has not beaten Fedor Chudinov yet...that was Groves. He does however have a win over Abraham so your comment makes no sense. You must have things mixed up

Beat both of them? Eubank never beat Dirrell what are you talking about man? Not to be a hater but you Eubank fans seem to make up imaginary wins for him. Some other guy thought he beat Chudinov...what is up with that?

The way SR spoke in his interview with IFL you would have thought he went in there and won the fight

Just like I said earlier today on here. Those guys at 168 are just going to be too big.

168 was garbage compared to 160. He moved up to avoid G and the gang.

Now he beats a severely faded DeGale and he thinks he can hang at 160 because G is old and The big guns are spoken for? Eubanks should stick to what he does best, boxercise. Because he’s not a fighter.

I.think euban k is better boxer than wilder. It's just wilder punches way harder

I’d also say that wilder is a smarter fighter too, other than being a spoiled child who thinks he can be his own trainer and his corner is there to shut up and give him water, Wilder does set traps and learn on the job better than Eubanks. (Not saying wilder is great, just better than Eubanks)

Become a world champion against who? He's running back to 160 to avoid the BJS rematch. He could never compete against Callum Smith either. Who will he beat at 160? Not Canelo GGG Jacobs or Andrade so where is his belt coming from? Another IBO or WBF strap? Come on man...I don't dispute it takes great courage skill and heart to get in a ring...but this guy is not world champion level.

He has a better chance at 160 than 168.
