Does Eubank Jr Have The Inside Game To Dethrone GGG? Who Win?

[FlatLine]

If Eubank Jr wins his next couple fights he'll almost certainly face GGG next year, possibly even in a massive UK match up since GGG is well-known to UK fans due to his fights with Martin Murray and Matthew Macklin. Could it match Froch vs Groves in popularity?

With Adam Booth now on the team and the legendary Eubank Sr keeping a mindful eye on the proceedings, does Eubank Jr possess the right style to overcome boxing's latest bogeyman, GGG? He does seem to excel at close quarters which is where most would suggest is the best territory to have any chance of success against Golovkin, although of course still riddled with it's own inherent dangers.

In an unavoidable match up positioned just beyond the year's horizon, who will emerge victorious as the son of a legend, Eubank Jr, faces his ultimate challenge to date against the new Asian phenomenon, Gennady Golovkin..

Who wins?

hahaha, good joke!

No, I like Jr but he cannot handle adversity. He gets frustrated and confused too easily. If he had a new trainer he'd have a shot but that's just not going to happen.

I think he has a good chance beating the Jacobs vs Quillin winner.(probably Quillin)
Eubank Jr would be the underdog in that fight but him winning wouldn't surprise me.
The only guy I'd think about picking to beat GGG at 160 is a healthy Pirog. Even then it's just a maybe.

He has just got with Adam Booth.

Eubank is still far to raw. His wild swings and posing around the ring crap needs to be flushed out by Booth.

He leaves himself massively open when attacking, and he doesnt have anywhere near the power his dad did regardless of Jr's ko %..

Hes still a massive work in progress imo. Whether he'll even make it at the elite level is yet to be seen. A rematch with Bill Joe would be my first point of call if I was Booth.

At the present moment a GGG fight would be like Eubank Jr vs Jetter, A mismatch.

Jr chose not to rematch Saunders because he wanted to keep his WBA Interim belt...which he was stripped of after his fight yesterday lol.
Don't look for it to happen now that he is signed with Matchroom and Saunders is with Frank

Yeah I know this, it was an idiot move. Regardless of the promoters, it will happen again. Frank has no problems making the rematch, its the Eubanks which are a pain in the arse to deal with.

He's said several times that he wants a rematch with Saunders asap but Saunders was lined up to fight Lee for the title then the postponement happened.

Fingers crossed Connor Benn will be better than his dad lol, and whoops Eubank later down the line.
