@90thCube @kevinmitchell50 @Channel4News @MatchroomBoxing @ConorNigel @_JordanJBryan @ChrisEubankJr @NigelGBenn British/euro level against those opponents is a higher level than what CB has won at. That was my original point. O Sullivan was only defeated by BJS before the bout with Eubank and the bout was seen as a genuine 50/50. JD not long beaten Truax. Not as shot as Algieri at all.

@MichaelBensonn @talkSPORT Chris might go the other way and decide to have nothing to do with it. He has never been predictable but I would be surprised if he turned down the opportunity of a spot in the limelight.

@YordenisUgas That's a great hat too Yordenis. As a fellow alopecia endurer I too like a nice titfer ( Cockney slang. Titfer tat =Hat)

In the 1940s fighters like Henry Armstrong wld travel through weight divisions and fight and beat much bigger guys. Armstrong thgh was experienced. Boxed at a high level. There are unknowns about CB. The biggest one is can he hold a shot. He will need to agst Jnr #EubankJrBenn

@mrunpxpular @mikeytheproblem I think this is a good question. No is my answer. Not yet. Liam Williams was a talented amateur, boxed since he was a kid and was a genuine world title contender, the Mark Heffron fight has aged well. Chris wasn't troubled at all by him but was guilty of stepping off the gas.

@90thCube @kevinmitchell50 @Channel4News @MatchroomBoxing @ConorNigel @_JordanJBryan @ChrisEubankJr @NigelGBenn Arthur Abraham while not at his peak was still comparatively better than Algieri and Van Heerden. I rest my case.

@90thCube @kevinmitchell50 @Channel4News @MatchroomBoxing @ConorNigel @_JordanJBryan @ChrisEubankJr @NigelGBenn Beating Nick Blakwell for the British title was a good win. Blackwell had just ko'd John Ryder who is a talented fighter. Liam Williams had just lost a decision to Andrade but was previously ripping through some decent fighters and was a genuine contender. Yildrim stopped too.

@estellecostanza I blame Eddie Hearn. Its since he made it the boxing anthem.

@JohnSte79855627 @cole31_dan @kevinmitchell50 @Channel4News @MatchroomBoxing @ConorNigel @_JordanJBryan @ChrisEubankJr @NigelGBenn I for one am not disrespectful of Connor. I think he is a very good WELTER prospect who had come on leaps and bounds. Which is why i don't believe he should be fighting a fella two divisions above coming off one of the best wins of his career.

@cole31_dan @kevinmitchell50 @Channel4News @MatchroomBoxing @ConorNigel @_JordanJBryan @ChrisEubankJr @NigelGBenn I'm 39. So my amateur career was at the tail end of the 90s. It was very different then. Funnily enough the first fight I ever watched on ITV big fight live was Eubank v Corti. I think I was about 7. Who would have thought we would be discussing a Eubank fight in 2022!!

[Dan @DanHawes1]

@cole31_dan @kevinmitchell50 @Channel4News @MatchroomBoxing @ConorNigel @_JordanJBryan @ChrisEubankJr @NigelGBenn Blowout wins against semi retired fighters like Algieri and Van Heerden are no preparation for a fight like this.

[Dan @DanHawes1]

@kevinmitchell50 @Channel4News @MatchroomBoxing @ConorNigel @_JordanJBryan @ChrisEubankJr @NigelGBenn Really Kevin? I am surprised to hear you say this. If Chris was a shot and jaded middleweight who was over the hill I would agree but he is always in fantastic shape, is relatively fresh and has boxed and won at a far, far higher level than CB.

@TomGallagher88 @PaulNew83335407 @DerekWarChisora @Tyson_Fury @frankwarren_tv @BTSportBoxing @espn @ESPNRingside @BobArum @trboxing Sadly if he carries on he won't be able to count his dough. Regardless of the result of his last bout he has taken a lot of heavy punishment.

@TomGallagher88 @PaulNew83335407 @DerekWarChisora @Tyson_Fury @frankwarren_tv @BTSportBoxing @espn @ESPNRingside @BobArum @trboxing Financially Derek has more than had his due from boxing. I would wager he is the highest paid british boxer to enter the ring without ever winning a world title.
