  • Chris Eubank is probably the most overrated boxer

    From all the hype these guys were giving him, I was expecting him to stop Groves in the 8th. He has very limited foot work, poor technique, and horrid defense. He is the Middleweight version of Deontay Wilder

    The casuals buy into his training clips tho. Bookies made him favourite which staggers me.

      Being elite at 160 doesn't take much.

        He was never elite at 160 or 168, some people bought into his hype but he was never anything close to elite

          Groves looked spectacular. It looked better than the Froch bout by compubox alone. I mean BJS vs Monroe Jr., timid boxing, fight of the year!

            I was surprised the bookies opened the betting with him as favourite even though the market is generally dictated by the bets being placed anyway. Most money comes from the casual market.

            I also think he was only ever overhyped by casuals. Most knowledgable fans were still reserving their judgement on Eubank until he fought a good name again, which he did tonight and come up short ...again.

            It is what it is. He's fringe world level at best. That IBO title was good indication of his level really.

              He is the lineal, P4P World Champion of Instagram.

                He isnt a bum...the BJS and Groves fights were very close but he lost. But he isnt elite either

                  Overrated because he was a potential GGG opponent. Groves destroyed that delusion with Murray too.

                    People saw him look good against bums and thought he was legit. Happens a lot with casual fans.
