I forgot KSI although I doubt he'd want to face a YouTuber without a few warm up fights and easy wins under his belt.

@Malt_Vinegar Give the poor guy a break. He's completely trashed on copium.
As Pigeon says, Conor Benn. Fight a couple more bums or 40 year olds and pretend you're relevant again and then get a big pay day fighting somebody half your size.
The rematch clause is there to give him the option and he may take it if it proves to be his best option but for me that's only going to be the case if it's PPV.
No so you said “He's never been able to cut it against quality, and got found out again.”
So I’m making the point that Groves who won a World title still lost every time he came against quality. Yet he doesn’t get the same level of disrespect.
As I said before the fight the Benn was always going to be there.
He’ll take the rematch imo why wouldn’t he? He didn’t get beat up he got caught with a very good shot. I can see a lot of people just want to kick him while he’s down it seems to be a bit of theme in here. Let’s hope he’s ok and I’d like to see the rematch.
Fair play to smith.
Jr could fight... J. P...?

Look, clearly it's been a bad night for you, sorry your guy lost.
I made a comment about Eubank Jr, and I stand by it. I am not sure why you are so hung up on Groves?!
Even GGG at 40 isn't an easy fight for Jr surely. Last time I saw GGG fight he still looked good.
The Benn fight will always be there but how much is it worth when even the biggest Eubank fans finally realise he's a bum? The more he loses the lower his value in that fight so why risk losing again unless you're getting paid big.
Anyway, time will tell. I hope the rematch happens as pre fight the talk was it will take place at Anfield.
Yep but at least that would pay. GGG's name would be enough to make that PPV and the risk of losing at least becomes worthwhile.
C’mon dude he’s not my guy I’m just saying my piece:
Groves is considered to of had a decent career yet he also lost 4 times, twice against Froch, once to Badu Jack and once to Callum Smith. Doesn’t mean he’s crap he lost to the better fighter on the night.
Now BJS was early on in his career yet it was a 50/50 fight, lost on points to Groves no shame even though “he lost everytime he fought quality” and obviously to smith who also lost every time “he fought quality”. Lots of quality fighters have lost multiple times.
You should know better too!

Ok to answer your question..
Let me link you to what Groves (someone you clearly rate highly) said in the build up to this fight..
George Groves column: Chris Eubank Jr needs to 'blast away' Liam Smith to retain star billing
In his BBC Sport column, George Groves says Chris Eubank Jr handpicked Liam Smith and must win, and win well, to justify his big star billing.

Haha, you are hilarious.
Night..
Just say what it is you were going to say.
You said he loses everytime he fights quality fighters. Ok fine but you can say the same about so many quality fighters. You’ve never heard me of anyone else say he’s the best in the whole wide world, he’ll beat your dad, my dad because he the strongest, he’ll even beat hulk hogan. But to say he’s a bum is just silly. He got caught with a great shot. Pacquiao got caught by a great shot once, got sparked out by Marquez it is the name of the game.
