Comments Thread For: Eubank Jr: A Fight With Golovkin Will Be Nothing Short of Epic War

[xEcto1x]

Golovkin is a 40 year old semi-retired boxer. Time for the division to move on.

To be fair, Golovkin didn't engage with Derevyanchenko. So there's some validity in what was said depending on the type of fighter that is in front of him.

GGG has 43 fights. You used one questionable example to make a definitive statement about GGG. So, that's the validity of that statement. And, quite frankly, I don't even care how GGG fights anymore - he's past his prime (and was when he fought Dervy), so any negative perception of him based on his last fights does not convey an accurate picture, unless you can trace it back consistently to his prime days. I think it's fair to say he never had a very good defense - he got tagged a lot. With a chin like this maybe there was no point, but "why?" is irrelevant really. But even not being a defensive fighter I didn't see him slowing down or being uncomfortable when someone was trying to push him.

An old shot Golovkin reunites Jr with his brother. Keep looking for that pen.

jr cant stop talking about golovkin now, he probably cries on the phone to papa about it

lost his pen in 2016 when he was offered the GGG fight

Definitely.

But in 2016 golovkin would have massacred him and eubank sr knew it. Now? Who knows?!

Bro, you responded to that guy with a general criticism based on how G fights.

I gave an example that refuted your faulty response.


Your response should be, "granted, he did box Derevyanchenko. So I guess he does box now".

Which is an admission you were wrong. The rest doesn't matter.

this would be a great fight

I’m no fan of Eubank Jr but that is a scumbag comment.

Your example was questionable and did not refute anything since it was, at best, an exception that confirms the rule. Which was the point of my post. Struggling with comprehension, "bro"?

Wait... Golovkin is still considered active?
