I was more so highlighting what Carl Froch stated about Chris Eubank Junior! (He has spoken about his sparring with Eubank Junior during his training camp for Groves! And Carl Froch speaks with such high admiration, whenever he is asked about Chris Eubank's toughness! I have never seen Carl Froch compliment any active fighter as much! Gennedy Golovkin should be banging out fighters like Canelo Alvarez, who is not really a middle-weight in terms of bone structure & body frame! (I honestly don't believe that Gennedy Golovkin could hurt Chris Eubank Junior anymore!)...
Eubanks has only fought one fighter ranked in the top 10 and lost. Since then he has fought domestic level opposition.
"We got into a position where everybody was ready to sign. He (Eubank Jr) was offered the same pay-per-view deal as Anthony Joshua, Carl Froch and the one that Kell Brook accepted.
"Unfortunately they (the Eubanks) made the deal impossible. The things they wanted were just a complete no-go. They were given a deadline and they chose not to take the fight."

Eubank is looking very good these days but that doesn't prove a thing about GGG ducking him. It was the other way around. A fair money offer that GGG had already agreed to was on the table for Eubank. All Eubank had to do was sign the contract and a title shot at GGG was his. Eubank curred out and refuse to sign the contract so Brook took the fight for the same money. Nice try to rewrite history but it was Eubank who chicken out and ducked a fight with GGG. GGG was ready and willing to fight Eubank but Eubank or whoever calls the shots for Eubank didn't want to fight GGG.
Comparing sparring to an actual fight. FACEPALM.

Who hits harder Carl Froch or Gennady Golovkin? I am not so sure Golovkin could actually hurt Chris Eubank Junior seriously! Fair play his punching power is not immense, but If you cannot deter him from unleashing his offense? The odds are he will hit you very often! (In my opinion Carl Froch hits harder than Golovkin, and Froch has heavily emphasized at just how physical tough Eubank Junior is!).
I think Eubank Junior beats Golovkin via 12 round decision!

If eubanks decides to trade with ggg like he did with the turk he'll get knocked out cold.
Eubank Jr doesn't look vulnerable around the whiskers, I think there is a very low chance that GGG would spark him. Trading doesn't just involve power its about explosiveness, hand speed, and positioning. I think he would be just fine trading with GGG in spots, just like Canelo was and Jacobs did ok too. GGG throws 1 or 2 punches at a time.
You think the Eubank's weren't already in business with ITV Box Office even before that deal? Why do you think Hearn was detailed about exclusively being on Sky under his hood when talking about Eubank Jr? Coincidence?
How is that Eubank Jr. is contracted with ITV?
Use your head and learn politics. To just assume Hearn is the correcr man because the Lil'G didnt happen is zee gays...
Besides, this video already shreds the hate Hearn and Warren have on the Eubanks. They can't blacklist an upcoming star....
Learn about why Floyd left Arum...that might help
Heres the video btw

Fair point about Eubank's deal with ITV. But, I think it's fair to assume Sr is a pain in the ass to deal with and that cost Jr the fight. Hearn said that he believes Jr 100% wanted the fight, but was insulated by his dad from the actual negotiations. As much as I like the Eubanks personally and their talent in the ring, I don't blame other world class fighters walking away from the table because Sr wants too much
Eubank Jr. was supposed to be Jacobs' mandatory once, too. There's a reason those fights didn't happen. I like him though. I think he's improved and he'll go far in the tourney. Maybe even win it.
Maybe you missed boxing news, but both Hearn and Sr. SPECIFICALLY DETAILED in numerous interviews regarding the commentary and other requests. The Eubank's are usually consistent with PRESENTATION and meaning, not the money. "To not sign" doesnt just mean money, hence To Agree Upon Terms...
I know that it wasn't all about money. It's all covered in the vid I posted. Point remains that Sr didn't want to sign.
Eddie Hearn said Eubank Sr and Jr were playing hardball and didn't seem to want the fight. At the last minute, he had to go to Brook with the same offer GGG camp gave to Eubank and Brook took it in a second..
Brook got 5 million for GGG fight.. that seems more than fair for Eubank at the time..
Here's my proof (beginning at 9:00): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUzPkDdyjzo
CASE CLOSED.
No he didn't duck Eubank , Stop it
To me Eubank presents a style that may challenge GGg but Sr and Jr wanted to be fairly compensated and Hearn thought it was a better option to throw Brook to the wolves for a career altering fight for whatever he deemed a fair offer
