Comments Thread For: Golovkin, Fundora Deliver: Weekend Afterthoughts

Eubank Jr is already 32, so he probably won't reach his father's status in the game, but I think it may be a bit premature to write off Benn and Tszyu. Both guys are still young and looking good in their recent fights. Chavez Jr is old, but he might actually eclipse his dear old dad's fame if he can land that Jake Paul fight.

Tszyu was a high-skilled beast. I mean, he out-boxed Vernon Forrest as an amateur, if that's any indication. Tim is a good, solid fighter. But I don't think he'll match his dad's accomplishments.

Even fighting Jake Paul, Jr will never surpass the older Chavez for fame. Notoriety, maybe.

has banks shown GGG anything new . ? I think not .

I have a feeling Team Fundora would me more into that fight than Team Tszyu.

As a side note, how many sons of boxing champs and contenders actually go on to be better than the old man? Lately I can only think of Floyd. Chavez Jr, Benn jr, Eubank Jr and Tszyu Jr just haven't got it like their fathers.

Don't forget Hatton Jr and Mosley Jr (although he had a good showing Saturday).

Now Fundora is the man of 154 until you put him with the avg 154 in the 6'0'' range (Lubin falls in the 5'9 range with Lara and Trout) with power. 100% sure the comments will change into the Paul Williams, Robert Easter doesn't know how to use his height and maintain distance. In fact, I wouldn't mind Haymon giving him a Charlo shot so he would boost Charlo's profile with a nasty KO.

I don't think any trainer was going to dramatically alter GGG's style in his late 30's. I think Banks ought to be given credit for helping to keep GGG competitive at the highest levels going into his 40's. No, he's not the same GGG, but he's still strong and fitter than most could hope to expect from a guy who's been fighting competitively for 30 years.
