“He’ll Absolutely Maul Him”: Former World Champion Uses “Premier League” Example While Sending Subtle Reality Check to Chris Eubank Jr for Calling Out Canelo Alvarez

In the high-stakes world of boxing, predictions are often as thrilling as the fights themselves, providing fans with a taste of the excitement to come. Recently, former boxing champion Carl Froch made headlines. Without a doubt his bold prediction about a potential clash between two formidable fighters: Canelo Alvarez and Chris Eubank Jr.

Froch’s words, laden with confidence, echoed across the boxing community, sparking debates and discussions among enthusiasts worldwide. Froch’s analogy, likening the bout to a match between the Saturday League and Premier League, vividly paints a picture of the perceived difference in skill levels between the two fighters. 

Carl Froch Shuts Chris Eubank Jr Down

Undoubtedly he asserted that Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed pound-for-pound champion, would utterly dominate Eubank Jr. According to Froch, once Canelo closes the distance, he would dismantle Eubank Jr., leaving no room for doubt about the fight’s outcome. “Canelo would Smash Eubanks to bits, as soon as he gets range, he would absolutely maul him.”

Carl Froch’s bold prediction about a potential clash between Canelo Alvarez and Chris Eubank Jr. has stirred anticipation. Froch, a former champion, asserted Canelo’s dominance, envisioning Eubank Jr.’s defeat once Canelo closed in. His confidence stems from years of boxing experience. Clearly, the match’s allure lies in the fighters’ styles and boxing’s inherent unpredictability. Froch’s statement intensifies the intrigue. 

High Unlikeliness of the Bout

According to Boxing News 24, considering that Eubank Jr., at 34 years old, isn’t competing in the 168-pound weight class and isn’t ranked there, he would have to move up to super middleweight. This move would mean he’d be jumping ahead of more talented and deserving fighters like David Benavidez, David Morrell Jr., and Demetrius Andrade for a title shot against the four-belt champion Alvarez.

Ideally, Eubank Jr. should step up to 168 and face Morrell or Benavidez to earn the opportunity to fight Canelo. Instead of simply asking for the fight, he should approach it from a business perspective, demonstrating his sporting prowess by engaging in these matches first.
