Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: Eubank Jr. is Biggest Non-Title Fight For GGG

[londoner]

"Curtis Stevens did it but crossed the line - that's Gennady's Eastern Bloc mentality. Gennady punished him for a couple of extra rounds more than he needed to." Either that is complete **** or Kovalev doesn't have an Eastern Bloc mentality because Pascal has crossed the line and, on the strength of that, Krusher has vowed to get him out of there faster this time.

I am a big admirer of Triple GGG and I hope after September he will have begun to deliver all the big fights they keep talking about....first one should be canelo if the ginger bread man keeps his word...then a meeting with either Jacobs or saunders , defence against Eubank and then a super middleweight clash with Degale which I think could be a great fight ...... There are some big fights line up and lets hope they make them !

I WANT TO SEE GOLOVKIN DO A BONE TOMAHAWK

3 pounds at 157 means $10 million for GGG=DUH????Dumb

If GGG wants to make big money then go down in weight to fight Canelo at say 157lbs and KO Canelo and then GGG can go back to making chump change fighting bums again in a boring career. Canelo offers little g mucho millions so why not take the cash and the middleweight title at 157lbs and make ten fights worth of loot?? Smart fricking decision over 3 fricking pounds you dumb commie moron? suck it up and give in?

Well ok he could be right Canelo, Jacobs , Saunders are all title fights , What Eubank Jr live crowd attendance?

Just so the record Eubank Jr is fight Nick Blackwell in March , GGG should be looking to get his IBF mandatory out of the way so he doesn't have to deal with that later

Eubank Jr has been an undercard fighter. His fights with Saunders & Chudinov were co-mains to Tyson Fury fights, and his last two fights were co-mains to Anthony Joshua fights. So he's had good attendance of over 10k, but the fans weren't necessarily paying to see him.

Eubank is fighting Blackwell in a shopping center auditorium, that might be able to hold 5,000 max. I think his stature in the UK is currently overrated, though it has potential. I'm betting after he wins the British title from Blackwell, he fights for the Euro title next. It's currently vacant with Chudinov & Siggani (Italian for bum), fighting for it around March.

it would be funny if saunders was left with nobody to fight. would serve him right

That won't happen. He could fight a guy at the bottom of the WBO rankings and still be fine. There's actually a lot of weak Euro fighters in the top 15 for him like Nagy, Akavov, Kopylenko, Hope, and Meryasev. All easy fights for him.

He's also talking with Murray, who would probably be weight drained at this point at 160. And then Frank has Tommy Langford who he's developing for that fight, not to mention the winner of Macklin/Rose. BJS won't go hungry.

I think ggg thinks that the fans want more for their money's worth and that is why he spends more time in the end. The punishment comes because ggg is ****y with his chin

This tells you all you need to know about the Coward formerly known as Gennady Golovkin.

His biggest non-title fight is Billy Joe Saunders leftovers.

So who at 160 would you like him to fight?

True.

Eubank has potential to be good but I need to see him grow a little and stop being so unbalanced when he throws, lunging in and looking sloppy after he throws. I guess if K2 wants to continue building that 0 against relatively unproven comp, yeah he is a good opponent.
