CHRIS EUBANK JR is in talks to face Gennady Golovkin in England this September. Eubank has not boxed since beating Nick Blackwell for the British middleweight title on Easter Saturday but is back in action on June 25 at the O2 Arena Click Here To Read More]
This has to be the most repulsive fan base of all time.
You guys claim everyone is ducking GGG either because they don't say his name in the headlines or for whatever other made up reason, then the moment said ducking fighter elects to fight him, this is what we have to hear.
This is abhorrently nausiating Sorry to sound biased, I have respect for Eubank if he wants the fight I just don't think this is a fight that will globally excite the fans. Obviously Eubank is the goods but he still lost to Saunders and has gone back to fighting at domestic level after winning the interim WBA belt. I know Eubank is heading to bigger things I think this is just not the fight people want to see right now.

I bet this guy threw a similar fit when Kell Brook called out Ggg lol, and when Canelo made his little speech after Khan. Things change when it's time to sign the contract. This guy is brave but he's very green and he has handlers

I'd prefer Eubank vs. Jacobs/Lemieux. Just because he wants GGG right now doesn't mean it's the logical match-up to make. I'm sure Hearn and Sr. know that. Jr's confidence won't save him from a brutal KO.

Don't put me in that list -I'm giving an assessment of this matchup, I don't give a **** about GGG-canelo drama
Pretty much this.
Pretty much what? assh0le. We GGG fans want him to fight the best MW's out there. You live in a parallel reality it seems...
Give some time... things are getting better and better for GGG. Some of the fights won't get made because everyone asks for a big payday against GGG. They want to get paid very well for getting their asses kicked. But some of the good fights will happen. Just wait and see. Just like Canelo vacated like a diva, very afraid.
This would be a good fight in like a year. Eubank needs another big fight to prove he won't freeze up like he did the first time he was on a bigger stage. No way in hell he can get in there with GGG and be as tight as he was for 2-3 rounds like he did against BJS. He's been working on a jab so that is a good sign, help him stablize the fight, and make him appear more busy in slow moments. I think if he can rematch Saunders and beat him or someone else we all know and prove himself over aginst then I would be on board for this fight. If he can avoid a slow start it would be a good fight. Fan of Eubank,he'd be landing a lot...but I think GGG wins
The fans will be livid if GGG fights someone like Eubank next. He needs to work his way up the ladder and above domestic level. Saunders makes more sense, if Canelo wants to join the other ducks at the pond.
Eubank Jr is a pretty good fighter and i've become a fan of his. But i think him fighting Golovkin is a bit too early. He should fight Saunders in a rematch, then Jacobs, and another middleweight like Lee and then Golovkin. The fight would be much bigger in that case.
Eubank is relentless and seems to have inherited his fathers mandible, This would have the potential to create an explosive fight. I think Golovkin wins however Eubank is more of a live dog that most people would care to admit.
Golovkin should.....
1) Fight BJS for unification
2) Fight WBA Mandatory D. Jacobs
3) Fight WBC mandatory (if ordered)
4) Brutally KO Erislandy Lara
5) Fight Eubank Jr.
This is assuming we are not all shocked in two weeks when a 157 lb catch weight non-title bout is announced with Cinnamon boy
The Joshua-Breazeale card is literally in a month.
Do either of those guys choose to fight Eubank Jr on 1 month notice?
Yeah I think Bursak would've jumped for it as he was getting ready for a May fight vs Saunders, so would Khurtsidze who was already looking to fight in June. Probably N'Dam as well since he has a fight coming up next weekend.
and some of you idiots were saying that GGG needs Canelo... fuck that, GGG takes this fight and wins it convincingly and he is automatically a 40/60 or 55/45 with Canelo split at 160 lbs. (in favor of Canelo of course)
ya i dont know about that ggg doesnt need canelo as long as the others will fight him but there no way he ever gets passed 60-40
Eubank won't learn anything beating up Tom Doran, the guy is 5 steps below Blackwell or O'Sullivan. He could've fought Bursak or Heiland and atleast developed a little more from that. Like you said, he just fought, so he's not looking knock rust off, they're looking for a safe KO. The idea he really wants to fight Golovkin next is very skeptical given he's taking a big step backwards in his competition level.
