Who do you want to see Chris Eubank Jnr fight most?

At that weight only one for me CONNOR BENN , has long has Chris promises to do a dance over him when he's on the canvas

Billy Joe Saunders - returning from retirement. Their last fight was 9 years ago.

Conor Benn - Drug cheat doesn't deserve a penny of fan money.

Gennady Golovkin - inactive and borderline retired.

Liam Smith - maybe a rubber match in the future but not needed immediately.

Saul Alvarez - Canelo has bigger fish to fry. Huge fight for Eubank though.

John Ryder - Probably quite a competitive fight to be honest but won't get the casuals excited.

Kell Brook - Retired.

Not the best bunch to choose from.

Ryder > Saunders > Golovkin > Smith > Canelo > Benn > Brook

Ryder would embarrass Chris, to Groves proportions.

Brook was talking in interviews on the night about checking out his potential competition…. And he looked in good shape. Prepare for a Kell Brook - CE Jnr superfight PPV with an ‘unbelievable’ undercard, courtesy of Ben Shalom

Ryder would be a very very good fight, as said earlier wouldn’t sell as well as other fights mentioned though

In answer to the thread title …

One thats not on peds!!

Stays on Sky box office you need a winnable casual fight, so probably Brook. Smaller and probably as shot as Smith was. then maybe another shot fighter after that so probably BJS/, i guess it depends what happens to Benn in the meantime. I think GGG is still too risky.

I agree. But the risk/reward for CEJ is not appealing.

He'd lose.

Ggg, styles make fights and this will gel well esp as he is past his best

GGG, Janibek, Lara, Cullen at worst though the money isn't there for that one, would be a good fight

Janibek or Lara .
Please no retirees or catch-weight bulls hit .

canelo for me - not that he deserves it but wud get the beating of his life

John’s knocking on a bit now, he’s had a lot of hard fights and the beating he took v Canelo may have emptied his tank irreversibly.

I’d like to see Chris fight Sheeraz - a top quality British title fight which is probably Chris’ real level.

golovkin still breaks him down. eubanks can't hurt him.

i doubt ggg will fight again

Not a fan of Jr but would be on his side against dreamer Benn.

None of the above. I wanna see him make a run for a belt. Current middleweight world champs are fooking dire, charlo apart.

Chris doesnt seem interested though, still calling out faded fighters or has beens. Surely theres enugh clout behind Eubank to get him a Lara fight, or the winner of (excuse spelling here) Gualtieri or Alimkhunaly (worst unification fight fooking ever btw).

He'll surely regret never holding a belt, or is he delusional enough to count the IBO.

jani isnt dire, better champ than charlo since ccharlo doesnt even fight any more. get chris in with the winner of that unification coming up. would be a good competitive fight, could go either way. sheeraz already turned down a shot vs jani, but if he'd be up for fighting eubank that would be cool too.

ggg is basically done with boxing. benn the weight wont be right. brook past it and not the right weight. ryder solid but coming off a beating and doesnt really offer anything. a bjs fight is so 10 years ago and doesnt interest me at all. same for smith third fight.

Priority should be:
Gaultieri/Alimkhanuly
Lara
Jermall Charlo

Followed by:
Ryder
BJS

Followed by:
A Middle or Super Middle contender

May as well have a fight with Benn for the theatre of it all. Even though Benn is a drug cheat and not deserving of a pay day. Not sure I have much of an desire to see Eubank against anyone else.

I’m probably the only one who thinks a focussed Eubank wins all of those, except for Canelo.

I am reliably been told Josh kelly is possible.

not really

bjs, ggg, brook are basically retired or have been retired and prob washed up. brook much smaller too.
he just beat smith
benn a welterweight
ryder solid but unspectacular and just off a beating

if we are assuming a good version of eubank id take him over themm too, much rather have him in with someone fresh and his size like the mw unfication winner or sheeraz

Eubanks isn't enough of a cupcake for Lara to consider fighting at this stage in his career so I would scratch him off the list. GGG seems to be the fight where he can make big money and take on a much-dimished one-time star. Even though GGG is semi-retired and in his 40s, it would look good on Eubanks' resume (or at least better than a lot of his opponents). Alimkhanuly would be an excellent fight, as would taking on either of the Charlos

I’m not super invested or excited by any of those fights, I’d just like it to not now or ever be Benn
