At middleweight he looked a bit drained. While still being strong you could still see that midd. wasnt his perfect weight.

Now at super middleweight he looks as poisened as ever. Athletic, aggressiv, the new weight energized him, wounder if this is the perfect weight or a jump to lh would him make even stronger while not losing speed and stamina.

He would lose power at LHW.. His power is something he relies on a lot. Maybe in his later career.. I don't believe he was drained at 160 pounds.

When he moved up to 168.. he also mentioned how could easily move back down to 160 without any issues and he could move between the weights.. He has had 3 fights now at 168, if he wins the WBSS tournament, i see him unifying further with DeGale.. TBH, I would like to see him back down at 160, where he will have much more power, there are still some very good fights for him.

I think 175 would be too far for him, he's a big middleweight but not a particularly big super middleweight . He's still got plenty to prove at 168.

Who do you think poisoned him?

Eubank was as aggressive and relentless at 160. Watch the fight vs spike, Blackwell, Doran. He fights exactly the same. He absolutely wasn’t drained at 160

He openly states he cuts very little weight to make 168. I believe he is only at this weight as an opportunity, if you can call it that, opened up with the IBO. So he’s currently masquerading as a world champion now.

175 possibly in the future. But he has a lot to achieve at 168 and 160 really if he’s still interested

He never struggled to ever make 160. He moved up to exploit an easy cash making opportunity. The fact this is the weakest SMW division in as far as I can remember suits him as it means he can avoid the real trouble at 160.

Eubank is too small for a super-middleweight, let alone a light heavy. He's a lot smaller than 168lbers like George Groves and Carl Froch, which is the only barometer I have to justify my opinion.
