Twice, once to George Groves and once to BJS.

Arguably the only time he's fought anyone near world level.

Well george groves was a big step up in weight

True. He does seem to be more focused on money rather than belts.

He’s been chasing ggg for years

Yes but it’s no shame losing to George Groves, he gave up quite a bit of weight over Groves too once they both rehydrated.

Same as Khan chased Mayweather and Pac

Chasing big names its better money that way we are waiting long time for good fights.

Parker looking like a bit of a chump despite managing to beat a cruiserweight relative nobody. Can't see how he gets back in the big time with that performance.

He got offered the GGG fight but then lost his pen when it came to signing the contract. He done the same multiple times when it came to the BJS rematch too.

When did he turn down the BJS fight? It always seemed to me BJS was the one who didn’t want that fight.

I thought it was well documented that on at least 2 occasions a rematch with BJS was on the cards only for Eubank to either not sign or to sign and then pull out of the fight. If you search on YouTube you'll find loads of interviews with Frank Warren where he's hammering both Eubank Snr and Jr over this.

 

[Doobedoo]

I can’t remember ever seeing that tbh and tbf I’d take what Frank Warrens says with a pinch of salt.

 

[Psycho Ned]

He'd probably have half a chance against Golovkin now a days as he's past his best and I doubt the motivation is still there after losing to Canelo. Still think Eubank will take the easy money option clown show fight with Conor Benn if Benn gets off the drugs ban. Can make good money selling that to mugs casual fans

 

[Doobedoo]

The Benn fight is always there for Eubank, he may as well go for a title fight against GGG, if he loses he can have another payday against Benn.

There was even press-conferences for the rematch if I'm not mistaken and Warren was promoting Eubank bank then too.

Just been reading the BBC live stream comments and saw this

Scotland's Josh Taylor is also wandering around and he had a scuffle with Jack Catterall not long ago. Security had to step in. Their rematch has been postponed due to an injury to Taylor.

OK, so not quite a scuffle: https://youtube.com/shorts/Sa7Y0Cw-zc0?feature=share

The Benn fight is always there for Eubank, he may as well go for a title fight against GGG, if he loses he can have another payday against Benn.

If? Surely he's nowhere near good enough to take on the mighty GGG?

I’ve followed Eubank pretty much his whole career and can’t remember that at all.

He’s good enough to take him on at the age GGG is now, wether he’s win is another matter though.

Let's see how he does against Smith!
