Comments Thread For: Eubank Jr: I Know I Can Beat Canelo - I'd Go In There To Destroy!

[Combat Talk Radio]

I must have missed Eubank’s previous destruction of two prior weight classes and unification of a division and winning every fight in addition to currently holding a real title. Who knew resumes counted.

Now go back and read where I clearly said:

Eubank Jr. has fought quality opposition at his current weight class.

What had Crawford done at his current weight class? Do tell.

Um, Crawford's an almost universally agreed upon top 3 P4P fighter, who's a 3 division champion, and completely unified a division & you're comparing him to Eubank Jr.?

Are you on drugs?

I’m not a Eubank fan. However, almost all of his titles (Crawford) were of the vacated variety and not a single opponent on the other side of that vacated title matchup deserved a shot as a contender to those titles. Translation: they were practically handed to Crawford. And the striking trend are the WBO titles. Hmmmmm....WBO...BobFather... vacated titles...I’m noticing a trend here

I know that all fighters can tend to have a false sense of confidence or belief in themselves. It comes with the mindset of being an athlete, but there's something about uk boxers that crosses the line from that into pure delusion. From Hamed, to khan, froch, Joshua, the Eubanks, Hatton, fury, Saunders, etc. And it doesn't matter if they're the best of their weight class like fury or a joke like khan, they all say ridiculous s*** that nobody but them and a few fools believe.

Yes it’s just UK boxers who make brash statements...🧐

135 - Burns was a champ and Crawford was his mandatory. Crawford afterward fought Ray Beltran who many felt deserved the win over Burns and should have been champ.

140 - Crawford beat Viktor Postol for his title. Postol was the number one rated fighter at 140 having stopped Lucas Matthysee. Crawford beat Indongo for his two titles. Indongo won the titles knocking out a champ over in Russia and following that by beating Burns in his backyard.

147 - Crawford beat Horn for his title.

The only vacant title Crawford has ever fought for was against Thomas Dulorme in his first fight at 140. Most people who watch boxing consider Dulorme a good fighter. Ugas and Jesse Vargas would tell you he is.

never said it was just uk fighters. But, there's a disproportionate # of UK fighters that this applies to. Sorry if that hurt your feelings.

He completely unified at 140 and beat Ricky Burns, Indongo, Postol, & Joe Horn for their titles.
