I was always surprised Sr never taught him how to jab. Eubank Sr had a underrated jab and Jr hasnt got one at all lol

Euro hype jobs, who haven't fought on US soil, are typically very overrated:hubie:

that's some BS breh

The point is WHO they fight not WHERE

there are divisions nowadays which are Euro central not US it's not the 80's anymore. Let's say 168 or cruiserweight as an example, the most accomplished dudes with the best resumes in both division are Europeans typically fighting in Europe

Gassiev beat Lebedev in Russia and Dorticos in Russia but he's legit to you cause he beat Wlodarczyk and Jordan Shimmels in the US?
Usyk had his 2 best wins in Latvia (Briedis) and Poland (Glowacki) but he is only legit to zou cause he beat lesser opponents in front of US audience? :jbhmm:

AJ would be more legit to you if he would go to the US and beat up Jarrell Miller even though he already beat Klitschko in the UK?
AJ vs Wilder might happen in the UK too, if Joshua beats him there he still gonna be an Euro hype job cause the fight wasn't in the US? :jbhmm:

If Groves would beat Zurdo and Benavidez in the UK he wouldn't be legit...?

point is... this logic is leaking

yes there are plenty of weight classes where the top fighters are almost exclusively fighting in the USA even the ones who are originally not from there but this is not universally true, there are divisions which have a different landscape, not all divisions fall under the same rule
the point is always who they fight not where, you can't say that it's some universal rule that they have to fight in the US to be legit.
