Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford, Chris Eubank Jr. Linked to Summer Showdown

Why is Eubank always chasing welterweights

Same reason that Crawford is chasing lightweights, super lightweights, jr. middleweights, middleweights and super middleweights.

The only reason Eubank did this is because of Crawford ducking Boots to chase a super middleweight. That's the ONLY reason Eubank even cares.

So he'll fight Eubanks but not Ennis?

According to NSB, Boots "brings nothing to the table".

Let's hope this is fake news. Bad look for boxing, if it happens!

This would be a big backward Step for Crawford with such good competition for him this hurt’s

Who? Crawford is chasing Canelo. Fighting Eubank makes some sense in that regard.

All theses so called top dogs Canelo, Crawford, Haney, ect, etc are finding the easiest fights they can find instead of taking on serious challenges... I'm not one of those guys that scream how boxing is dying because boxing will always continue to go on but these guys are not doing it any favors.

Lets be honest, Benavidez offered Canelo 60 million. Ennis offered Crawford nothing and that's the difference.

I'd prefer if Crawford went up and fought Janibek, but I don't think TC likes that risk:reward proposition.

If the Saudis decide to throw big money at a fight then it probably happens. But aside from that it just seems like more misleading attention-seeking from Eubank. The Janibek fight is there for him so he needs a distraction, he'll be publicly talking about unrealistic big names fighters around his weight for another month or two, and then fight a random B level guy instead.

Chris Eubank Jr believes he's highly regarded. Highly regarded knucklehead. I mean look at this:
