Just came across this and thought it rather amusing:
Eubank Sr: "At middleweight and super-middleweight, them all, I've looked at them... Gennady Golovkin, he beats him now.
"I've seen nothing like this. We are talking about the real thing personified. This is Chris Eubank new and improved.
"In him I see Duran, Roy Jones Jnr; in terms of his footspeed, handspeed and combination punching; and I see the darkness of James Toney. I wouldn't know how to beat him in my prime.
"He's 15 fights unbeaten and he he has the ability to beat me right now when I was in my prime. He's frightening."
Froch had been singing his praises in recent sparring, but triple G? Really?
(Source: boxing news)
Eubank Jr floored Groves four times, Froch twice in two rounds, had DeGale on the ropes for nearly every second and broke three of Nathan Cleverly's ribs. He also bashed up Chad Dawson in Vegas a year before he even turned pro.
Adam Booth says we haven't seen a fraction of what he can do as a pro, based on the sparring he's seen of Eubank Jr, and predicts he will be the best super-middleweight in the world before long.
Do you have a source for this absolute horsesh1t?

Starting climbing the domestic ladder first. Even if he wants to skip domestic, Saunders about to make a jump to the upper Euro level against Blandurama
Froch floored twice by Eubank Jr in sparring and Team GB and everyone told to keep it quiet.
Why do you thing Eubank senior is coming outr with the GGG stuff? Cos he smacked Froch and put him on his ass but Froch past his prime so he shouldn't take an undue level of confidence from that but clearly he is the real deal as its not easy task flooring Froch.
We'll have to see how the kid develops but i must admit his personality is dull but i guess thats nothing to do with his boxing ability.
Whilst its sparring and a lot can happen, I find this impossible to believe. He is totally feather fisted and can't even put a dent in non durable scrubs a division below and that is with tiny 8oz gloves on. His lack of power will be his undoing.
Where did you get this from or did you just make it up to try sound funny?
Seriously, Eubank floored Froch? Not sure I can believe that, although it is only sparring. But it would surprise me. Maybe Froch fell down when they were sparring and ended up on the floor, but not knocked down in trouble I imagine.

`No he hasn't even fought at domestic level yet.
Yea, dude sounds really entitled and his dad sounds like an enabler. When they asked him about Saunders..... dude said Saunders would be gracious to share the ring with him
Wow that's quite a revelation, especially as Eubank jr. Was believed to have no power. Is carls chin shot?
I doubt it's true, although I did see him connect with a right hand on the Sky footage.
Jr looks promising but Sr is the perfect PR man. He knows what to say and when to say it.
This ^
I've followed Eubank Jr and while he's still far too green to even consider a Golovkin fight, he does have tremendous potential and I wouldn't doubt for a second that he could beat GGG in a few years. Golovkin vs Stevens was very revealing and while I like GGG a lot, it's clear that he has limitations that will be revealed when/if he ever faces better competition.
It's pointless to talk about it now though because Jr is still getting his feet wet.
I don't see where all the outrage is coming from. I've never heard of this guy. Don't know anything about this guy. From the post I've read so far it seems he's a prospect that's faced little to no opposition. But it's not like GGG has faced Hopkins resume either. So GGG's better because he's beaten 15 extra bums than this dude? I'm not trying to hate on GGG just trying to make a point.
That said i know a strength and coach conditioner who is good friends with a few team GB fighters and he told me that its common knowledge with those connected that Eubank Jr floored Froch in recent sparring.
