That was when Chris jnr was a novice I am talking about him now and wasnt it a disputed decision.
It wasn't disputed, just a split decision. If BJS fights like he did today, then he beats him in my opinion.

Eubank isn't an elite level boxer, he's a fighter and that's very different. BJS has a similar style to the Furys, and when on their game you can't get near them.

A master class in boxing tonight. His pedigree as a boxer has always been there he just turned it on tonight. He would school Eubank with that performance. No need to revisit him. GGG next.

Jr wont get near him if he boxes like last night.

Jr may have been less experienced when the met first time, but BJS is also even slicker than when they met last time.

Both Boxing at different weights now too. Jr would have to drop back to middle.

Sweet science and all that. Hate seeing fighters get unnecessarily hurt. But I find it hard to admire fighters who throw two shots a round. Especially when they're outspoken homophobes.

Nothing to do with his abiilty as a technician of the sport then. I guess he would have a more "conservative" view to many in 2017. Good job Emile Griffith isn't around today that would have been interesting press conference.

Be interesting if BJS gets a match with Golovkin , Eubank and all the other opponents are involved in the tournament

I fancy Saunders against an aging golovkin . Not sure how willing bjs would be to go up to super middle tho. He looks like a natural middle weight

Nice to see Billy settling down to his boxing, and with wth right attitude. Ingle has done a stellar job. Brilliant masterclass in footwork and timing. Landed about 100 more jabs according to the stats. Bring on GGG.

Best performance of his career last night.

BJS should have another fight around April/May (Jacobs).
Then the winner of that should fight the winner of the GGG - Canelo rematch.

Should the BJS - GGG/Canelo not happen, it's got to be BJS - Jr later in the year.
