Comments Thread For: Anthony Ogogo: I'd Love To Fight Chris Eubank Jr.

I've never watched wrestling (well not since Big Daddy & Giant Haystacks) but if Ogogo can even get 1/5th of the viewers that Eubank did back in the early 90's he'll be doing brilliantly. I think Eubank used to get something like 15 million viewers which represents a HUGE proportion of the population. Have a butchers at this entrance v Rocchigiani in Germany. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1d4vqkCby4 Wow been a while since I've seen that. Could do with a Eubank esque personality in boxing nowadays. Great clip!

That could be a good fight in the future but Agogo now needs to get people talking about his boxing rather than his adverts & the olympic sweetboy image he's building. I hope he doesn't get destracted by being a minor celebrity and remembers what has got him this far (albeit not very far at the moment) which is his boxing.

Quite the contrary. I just don't ever want to see boxing completely turn into a farce.

The hype machine is well under way with Ogogo. He's been on a couple of TV shows already this week, and somehow landed himself a spot at the table with Froch, Khan, and Haye on this Gloves Are Off to be aired on Tuesday on Sky Sports. The guy hasn't thrown a punch in the pros yet and there's already a smugness about him. He's talking about knighthoods and becoming famous instead of boxing accolades. I'm not sure about him.

Can't handle a jalapeno though can you? Well played, Sir.

I, for one, am very glad boxing is not like WWE. :lame:

Agogo is annoying me already , he's not even had a fight yet and he goes on about being the best British middleweight of all time ect.. Now he wants to fight Eubank jr . He needs to let his fist do the talking and be quite and tbh he got battered in the Olympic semi how well is he really going to do

Why? That would mean by the time he is 30 he would be pushing 50 fights. Who really boxes 8 times a year these days? He's signed with golden boy, I'd expect 4-5 fights a year more realistically. But why would you say he needs to? Because he's just turning pro it's not unusual for fighters to have 7 or 8 fights in their first year. Schafer believes that GB will have him out 4 times in the UK and 4 times in the States this year if he stays clear of any injury off course.

Ogogo needs to fight at least 7-8 time a year. Schaefer has said Ogogo will hopefully box about 8 times in his first year. After that I'm guessing he fights about 4-5 times as his built up then goes to 3 ifghts a year if he moves to world level. I saw Ogogo at the Olympics and he has a style that can adapt well to the pros although the Jr fight seems like a good 2-3 years down the line. However, I do like the sound of his ambition, he obviously wants to be a star and hopefully he knows he can only be a star if he fights the best Fair point.. 8 bums to showcase and gain experience in first year is the norm, but not every year. He's a good fighter, be interesting to see how his story unfolds in due course
