You're right Los !
I've mistaken his weight for that of that Ruslans character, who weighed in at 158 and a bit.
Even worse !!!!!

I suggest you review what you are allege are my statements because half of them were made by other posters !
I am no troll.
I don't make up poo.
I was ringside for Booth v Mansouri. It was a local derby but the score cards don't lie. Had it not been for Nav hurting his right hip early on I think he'd have stopped Tyan.
One thing's for sure the physical differences between Nav and Tyan were far more pronounced than Eubank jnr and Tyan.
All I'm saying is to use the excuse for a very average performance against Booth to be due to his "massive physical disadvantages" is utter crap.
Say it again - get him in with Etches and let's see what happens.
Yes i have to apologise most of the posts were on the other page so i mistakenly assumed they were made by you as you were the post on the top of the page, i went on a rant it wasnt even you that wrote the posts that annoyed me. You are correct he hasnt made the middle weight limit regardless of the rules for novice pros.
I still think his success will depend on weather his power develops as i previously said, at no point did i say he was the second coming of Eubank senior i think he is capable of being a top quality fighter IF he gets some power (he reportedly gave groves hell in sparring for the degale fight), however i disagree about the physical advantage i think you've got too hung up on the fact i used the word massive. It was being tied up by booths arms which caused him to struggle until the second half of the fight and he stopped Booth. Also i wasnt at the mansouri fight but the boxrec article on the fight and numerous other people stated that was a very close fight and that it was mansouri that was hurt in the early rounds and he didnt stop booth.
You mention adam etches - he may well be able to beat eubank right now im quite a big fan of his but he is not fighting the same level of opponents, he has a lot more fighting experience and he has power. In 2 or 3 fights time lets see them in the ring together if they are still undefeated.
Its way too early to be writing off Eubank anytime soon.
