    Good point regarding British champion Felix Cash, However I'm sure Eubank would consider it a step back.

      In other words you want GGG to go 15 lbs out of his weight class so he'll lose. Funny they never bothered Hagler in the 80's to go to 175 to face Mike Spinks, Matthew Saad Muhammad, Marvin Johnson and Victor Galindez . Why? Because it would've been career suicide. Hagler was smart and fought guys his own size, or smaller, ie, Duran , Leonard . Middleweights are middleweights , Light heavies are light heavies. Huge massive difference.

        Or, maybe he would win? Roy Jones Jr., Bernard Hopkins, and Canelo did it!

          Interesting they show absolutely no interest in fighting Andrade though they can get him anytime they want.

            What the promoter is really saying "Liam Williams take our fight offer or we are going with GGG"
            The same tactic Canelo tried to use against Plant, mentioning going to light height but Plant
            called his bluff.

              So many years have past and we still talking about this fight, Eubank needs an elite victory, an elite guy on his résumé, how thé hell have you lost to à shot Groves, inexcusable

                eubank going straight for the old guy, i guess he has a belt & name value so yeah perfect if he could beat him, which he could do now i think, so good plan from eubank for his career if he can pull it off, will need to offer ggg decent cash i would think

                      he won't even fight the champions in his own division

                      I have completely given up on him

                      I thought his training wheels could finally be removed after Canelo... but, nope
