GGG vs Eubank or GGG vs Lara

Lara would get him more respect among the hardcore fans, but I think Lara is a much easier fight for him and definitely won't be as exciting. There's a great Wilson Kayden film study of Golovkin vs Monroe, where he shows how Golovkin was destroying Monroe first 2 rounds because he was trying to box outside and move on the edges of the ring. Once Monroe switched to trading and started fighting inside, he had some success. The fighter who stands a chance against Golovkin will be able to stand and fight, pass multiple chin checks, throw excellent uppercuts and make Golovkin fight off the back foot. Eubank is not proven, but he passes all those criteria, which is why I truly think he's got a much better chance than most give him.

Here is my reasoning on why it should definitely be Eubank Jr. Whilst I will give Lara props for being a superb amateur boxer with a lot of skills to his game more so than Eubank Jr but the problem with all of that is he isn't that big of a fighter and he would have to go up to 160 for the very first time to fight a guy who has been putting people to sleep that have NEVER ever been KOed before take that into consideration with the fact Lara has tasted the canvas several times against by far lesser type of opponents than GGG now for the final part which some may disagree with but the fact he is a fighter who likes to fight primarily on the backfoot I see that as a huge disadvantage Lara isn't as well rounded as GGG and for that I think he would be punished and stopped quicker than Eubank Jr (assuming Eubank Jr doesn't win or see's 12) Reasons for Eubank Jr is he undoubtedly has a chin just like several of past opponents that GGG has fought, he is a big 160lber and his work-rate is nothing short of amazing now for the downside in the exact same mould as Lara I think Eubank is only good at coming forward but GGG isn't as good when he isn't pressing the distance on someone that is my thinking of it and I just genuinely believe Eubank Jr would give the better test of the two.[/QUOTE Lara was down twice against angulo, that is it, and he was fighting on a phone booth ring, a rehydration clause, only for him, and the mat was a memory foam, now I don't like his style but I do like the fact that he is challenging himself, I don't see too many boxers trying to make the best fights...

Slow Angulo was able to drop Lara twice. Surely the vastly superior and faster GGG would catch Lara and finish him.

I'm not even saying Lara would be the better fight. I'm just more interested in seeing a clash of different styles. Eubank chin isn't gonna help him this fight. Ggg isn't a knock out artist. Hes a really good boxer who pummel his opponent so that he either force the referee, boxer, or the trainer to call the fight. See the response in this thread. At least with a win over Lara he would silence some of these critics. I think both fights would get stop in 8 but I rather see Lara get the fight not because I think it's a better fight but because he would accomplish more with that win then a win over eubank. He never really knocked out someone cold. I'm willing to bet he have more TKO then KO was the point I was trying to make. He never made anyone sleep like Marquez did Manny. Eubank chin isn't going to help the fight from stopping because GGG is a great boxer. GGG doesn't just head hunt he throws a bunch of body shots too. Eubank Jr "iron chin" isn't going to help him this fight. I bet this fight Jr corners is going to throw in the tower within 10 rounds or referee stop and it's only going to go that long because GGG normally tries to drag the fight on longer then he normally have to.I see what you mean. He is much more skillful than many give him credit for and he does take his time and is in no hurry for the KO. He just pounds away and often the ref stops the fight or they throw in the towel as you say. He does have very good power with both hands to the head and the body. I guess the main thing is he lands his punches consistently and relentlessly and ends up with the KO win sooner or later.

When/if GGG were to KO Lara people will instantly say it was a mismatch and bring up his weight. This is the same guy who had trouble with Canelo. GGG Higher ring IQ than Canelo, heavier, better foot work, harder punch etc... This will not end well for Lara.

Eastlos, You're way too upset about this, take a breather.

Jesus Christ, you guys and this Lara crap. Lara in the ring is like a squirrel getting trapped in your living room.

Really? Who has Eubanks beat to be consider a contender? Spence beat Algirie, Joshua beat Breezele even Frankie Gomez beat Herrera to make themselves contenders. Eubanks beating a couple of Euro bums and losing to Saunders doesn't make him a contender. Eubanks is still a prospect just like Wade n Monroe where when Lil G fought them. Lmao, who has lara beat?

I did some research to see where Eubank is ranked in the world by all the different well known ranking places I know of. He is ranked 2nd by both the WBA and the WBC.He is ranked 6th by the IBF, 11th by the WBO, 6th by ring magazine, 4th by boxrec, 9th by boxing scene and 8th by ESPN. If he isn't a world class fighter then why does every place that ranks boxers rank him as a world class fighter?

Eubank is just a much bigger fight. It's gonna be a global event. Lara OTOH is a fat money loss for the promoter. Which sometimes happens, but not for a massive underdog coming up in weight

GGG has KOed the last 17 guys he fought, mostly in title fights. He has a 91% KO average. If he isn't a KO artist then nobody in the sport is a KO artist. GGG should just continue to please his fans. Trying to silence his critics is a useless waste of time and effort. Most of his critics are extremely unreasonable and they would continue to trash him even if he KOed Lara in the 1st round. He never really knocked out someone cold. I'm willing to bet he have more TKO then KO was the point I was trying to make. He never made anyone sleep like Marquez did Manny. Eubank chin isn't going to help the fight from stopping because GGG is a great boxer. GGG doesn't just head hunt he throws a bunch of body shots too.

^^^^ And here's the 1st Golovtard ladies n gentleman trying to justify this disgraceful chump fighting a prospect over a fellow champion in Lara. What a piece of sh1t these Lil G fanboys are talking smack about who other fighter fight but when their hero Lil G chooses his 3rd prospect in 4 fights they see no problem with it, LMFAO It's pretty embarrassing that a prospect has more balls than that clown Canelo. Tbf Eubank just might be better and stand a better chance at winning, which is not saying much

Both would be great, but I think Eubank gives Golovkin the tougher fight, possibly dangerous for Golovkin. I don't think Lara ever had a chance at beating Golovkin what so ever, I just think his skills would've made it interesting in how Golovkin hunted him down. There's also the Alvarez connection, and plethora of GGG haters who cry Golovkin's ducking Lara (yet never ask for Jacobs or Quillin to fight Lara). The way Lara looked vs Martirosyn, there's no way he'd be able to keep GGG off him.

Lara has just run his mouth and to this day nobody representing Lara has contacted the people who represent GGG. That's the first think a fighter would do if he really wanted to fight a guy.Team Eubank is in serious talks with team GGG and he really wants the fight. Eubank is ranked among the 4 or 5 best middleweights in the world by most of the alphabet organizations and boxrec. Lara has no ranking at 160 and has never fought a middleweight. GGG's goal is to dominate 160, not 154. Lara is a skillful but unexciting runner without that many fans and he doesn't bring in the money. He ran from Vanes. He would run from GGG even more. Eubank comes to fight. He scores many KOs. Eubank deserves the fight more and GGG deserves to fight the guy who would make the best fight and make him the most money and that's Eubank. I don't think either Lara or Eubank have any chance of beating GGG but the Eubank fight makes more sense for GGG. It would be a more pleasing fight to watch while it last.

Eubank has fought better he has fought a current reigning world champion in the MW division, ooops I guess you forgot about that one.

It's funny that this fight with Eubank Jr If its happening in Britain will easily do better numbers than Kovalev Vs. Ward yet "prospect" lmao dumbasses don't know what they're talking about. Really?

Nothing except a big time Ppv in the UK,massive exposure, career high purse by far.
