GGG vs Chris Eubank

[jas]

I don't dispute that he's a very good fighter, whether he will be great time will tell I think ultimately he's going to have to pursue Andre Ward and beat him to fufill that.

I also don't dispute he has skills. I'm not saying he doesn't have skills. Obviously he does his footwork is one of the best in the sport, his positioning is his best weapon other than obviously his power.

I don't see these great skills. Just don't see them. But you don't need great skills to be great.

Fair enough

Was referring to dan_cov

He thinks he's massively overrated and has done for years.

If that's the bar to be set, would you have picked Hagler or the version of Hopkins who fought Trinidad or Taylor to beat Andre Ward? Ward is bigger, faster, and masters a negative style.

eubank would make things awkward, hard to hit eubank with single shots and GGG throws wide single looping shots a lot.
Eubank had impressive power and an iron chin at MW.
Cant really say because GGG hasnt fought anyone that impressive

i would like to see Eubank agaisnt Leminoux.

would be a WAR

and the winner take on GGG

personally think leminoux would quit agaisnt eubank, he just doesnt like being hit...Eubank would smother him and stop him in the mid rounds

I honestly thought we were talking about Eubank jr...

Eubanks vs Rocchigiani might be a blue print, but he was already a SMW for that. Eubank had a short run at MW with wins over Benn & Watson. I rank McCallum & Nunn more highly. Reggie Johnson narrowly lost alot of big fights, but he was another MW great and Kalambay was another, though his loss to Nunn would make me question his durability for Golovkin.

I think they would beat Ward yes.

Hopkins especially. Not sure on Halger because he never fought that high.

The difference is though they had good opponents to face at MW.

Golvokin has Canelo in the future but I don't think that's enough.

I would watch Jr vs Golovkin for the lulz though
