Comments Thread For: Eubank Jr. on Facing Janibek-Gualtieri Winner: I Don't Know Who They Are, So General Public Doesn't

Never got that Calazghe fight though did he

No, but what does that have to do with anything? I imagine the vast majority of boxer's have missed those marquee fights due to the time of their ascension.

he might have to wait a long time for the Brook fight - he himself has said it's not happening until Benn his totally exonerated and free to fight - the speed these legal cases move through the various organisations is snail-like.

Yea I don't see it any time soon either just saying he wants those kinda fights that pay well domestic ppvs

[ShoulderRoll]

The Brits would pay to see him fight Alimkhanuly.

Don’t duck that smoke, Eubank.

Eubank only wants to smaller fighters that are arguably over the hill.

He'll take the Canelo fight where he get KO unconsciously for a lot of money, though...

That's the fight Froch really wanted. And it was the fight he was chasing....even now.

Okay, so let me elaborate my point because maybe you're not understanding. I used Froch as an example because he didn't wait around on the big domestic match up, which would of been Calzaghe. Instead, he took risks against credible international competition and still got the big domestic match up against Groves.

Maybe but can't really recall Eubank being mandatory at MW. He was ranked highly with the WBA but then GGG unified and fought Canelo and Lara fought O'Sullivan for the regular title. He hasn't been close enough in any of the others although highly ranked. Covid years, Charlo not fighting and the Canelo pay day resulted in the MW division moving very slowly. It's only really picking up pace now. Big issue I guess is that he brings the money so it's a huge payday for whoever he fights but not for him if it's a mandatory. He packs out arenas but it's almost reverse popularity in that people want to see him lose. But that may have changed after humbling Smith and getting cheered in Manchester.

He was the interim wba champion at middleweight but obviously COVID hit then he didn't fight for nearly 18 months and then he went back to fighting guys like Marcus Morrison and Liam Williams becsuze I think sky offered him big money to have a few fights then the Benn fight came up that fell out then he went back to sky for the smith fights . Eubank is a name where these current world champions at middleweight would probaly fight him as a voluntary because he brings more revenue than most guys at middleweight right now the division isn't very strong at all so the janibek-Gualteri winner would take it in a heartbeat if it was offered to them by sky. but again he's gonna go where they money is for him. Don't think hes gonna fight Canelo because canelo could fight me or you and probably make $30 million dollars and the eubank fight probably won't excite him he's took the charlo fight because pbc probaly paid him massive money an it has the undisputed-undisputed tag line an he probably rates Charlo higher than he would Eubank because he's proven at a high level. But eubanks not gonna choose a world title fight at middleweight over a bigger money fight with no titles attached

There's no way Canelo will take a fight with me, much safer to go in against Benevidez! Eubank should go for a title. Seems like it's wide open right now. If he wins it and it could be a unified title then a Canelo fight could be a possibility if he still wants a big fight in the UK. If he fights Benn or Brook no chance.

C'mon Chris we had all never heard of reynaldo quinlan you beat for the ibo trinket. Janibek would be a good firefight and is a winnable fight with bomac in charge of the gameplan.

[Gideon lock]

No surprise. Cowardice and British identity are synonymous.

You should be arrested for anti British thuggery dear chap.
