    No reason why Eubank Junior cannot involve himself in this big marketable fights if? Guys like Golovkin or whoever do not want to fight him for whatever reason.

    I've only seen Williams an junior middleweight. Benn shouldn't be calling out a guy 2 weight classes up, or 3 classes if Eubank goes back up. Benn has some good business with Ortiz, Ennis, and others where he can show his abilities and maybe get a title shot.

      Saunders' words have come back on him before. So don't be surprised if BJS looks half-dead at the weigh in, loses, and uses being half-dead as his excuse.

      I can't see Eubank's side wanting this fight. Annoying as he is, Saunders is far more skilled and Eubank won't take a fight this risky until it's a title shot. Maybe after this talk they'll offer it to him at 160 though.

        You forgot he lost his pen when the Golovkin's fight was on the table before Kell Brook stepped up to the plate. Why should Golovkin at this advanced stage waste his time on an unserious fighter when there are money fights out there for him?

          It is a big fight for Golovkin, not many bigger fights for him out there.

          Eubank Junior was offered the Golovkin fight at short notice. It was extremely wise of Team Eubank Junior not to accept that fight.

            Am sorry but Eubank is not a big fight for Golovkin. If Golovkin desires to fight in the UK, then it is a decent fight. There is the Murata fight, there is the Canelo fight, Munguia and Charlo fights are there if he wants it. By the way, the Golovkin fight was not offered on short notice. Dude agreed to the fight (by far his career high purse and still hasn't made anything close to it since) but then refused to sign it for reasons best know to him and his father. I remember Eddie Hearn getting furious about it before he offered it to Kell Brook.

              I really saw a Roy Jones impersonator! I think any top 5 middleweight will put him to sleep. Eubank could be a decent volume puncher with someone like Roach or Garcia in his corner.

                The fight in the UK will be in a stadium, and it will be big event.

                Golovkin is not going to fight Alvarez 'Alvarez is focusing on other fighters'.

                Murata is not a bigger fight than Eubank Junior, and neither is Charlo.

                  Whatever you say bro. The fact is he had his chance and Golovkin is not even looking his way at this point. He might as well revisit Billy Joe.

                    Like BJS or not, Eubank is easy money for BJS, broken eye socket or not!
