Comments Thread For: Eubank Jr: One Of The Best Decisions I've Made In My Career Is To Train With Roy Jones

Eubank Jr won't listen to his dad, like most sons.

Jones Jr is probably the only guy he'll listen to, because that was his hero

Chris Eubank Junior has listened to his father. 'Chris Eubank Senior is probably behind this move to Roy Jones Junior, Senior has forced Junior to work with the likes of Mayweather Senior in the past'.

Chris Eubank Senior was a better fighter than his son.

No doubt

Snr grew up tough while jnr grew up in luxury. Have to give him credit though he’s still a decent fighter

Roy knows a lot about the sport and has a unique view on things. I just think it's hard for a fighter, who used to be on the top of the game, to be selfless, dedicated and teaching enough to be a successful trainer at the top level. I'm sure Roy worked with a lot of different fighters in the past decade with different styles, but when you've been so successful with one style, you'll automatically tend to try to teach that style, and Roy's style is extremely unique, it can't really be taught.

Can Roy be a benefit for Eubank or anyone for that matter? Absolutely, but should he be a chief trainer? that remains to be seen.

I think that can be a problem, especially for very successful fighters. Because 'their' way of doing things has been so successful, they can get stuck in a groove, like everyone has to do it 'their' way too. On the whole, though, this could be a really good opportunity for Eubank Jr, I'm looking forward to seeing him fight next, see if anything has changed up much

Yes he is a decent fighter, always leaves it all in the ring. His weaknesses in some ways, make him a more exciting fighter 'Junior gives his all in training and during fights'.

Sometimes people criticize how Eubank Junior has been managed, but he has some sort of world championship belt 'Has made decent money, and has grown within himself' Eubank Junior seems to be his own man.

If Eddie Hearn had been promoting Chris Eubank Junior, I honestly believe his self confidence would of been destroyed by now 'Mainly due to taking unnecessary fights at the wrong time' they would be big fights, but they would of destroyed Junior.

Note: Now is the time for Eubank Junior to be facing Golovkin, Alvarez and the Charlo Brothers. I want to see Eubank Junior face Golovkin etc

Snr has been way too controlling over Jnr's career and managed to burn a lot of bridges with respected trainers and promoters who can open doors.

I get the impression neither Eubanks are easy to deal with, are loyal or are big on listening. That written he has a fan friendly style but not sure how Jones Jnr can teach what he was gifted.

Yes he can sharpen the tools, defence and hopefully get that jab going but if Eubank Jnr loses it'll all end in tears.

No he isn’t .
He doesn’t have a jab!!!!
Watch him ,he is wrong in all levels apart from his engine.

He is European level at best.
His ego is too big and he will not learn anything off of RJJ.

Eubank jr is a fool who thinks he is better than he is .
He hasn’t got to he tools to go any further than an IBO belt.

[coghaugen]

If he's European title level then he's a decent fighter.

Eubank ... you know your daddy ducked Roy Jones jr. and James Toney. Toney told him back then that he'll beat him and his momma's ass. He was scared of them guys. You know deep down that you wish Roy Jones Jr. Was your real dad and Toney was your uncle.

Hahaha, go on Archie!
