[BrometheusBob.]

Eubank Sr said just yesterday that the plan is to defend the British title in August

Looks like they're mighty serious about this GGG thing eh?

Eubank won't learn anything beating up Tom Doran, the guy is 5 steps below Blackwell or O'Sullivan. He could've fought Bursak or Heiland and atleast developed a little more from that. Like you said, he just fought, so he's not looking knock rust off, they're looking for a safe KO. The idea he really wants to fight Golovkin next is very skeptical given he's taking a big step backwards in his competition level.

The Joshua-Breazeale card is literally in a month.

Do either of those guys choose to fight Eubank Jr on 1 month notice?

[Cinci Champ]

and some of you idiots were saying that GGG needs Canelo... fuck that, GGG takes this fight and wins it convincingly and he is automatically a 40/60 or 55/45 with Canelo split at 160 lbs. (in favor of Canelo of course)

ya i dont know about that ggg doesnt need canelo as long as the others will fight him but there no way he ever gets passed 60-40

Yeah I think Bursak would've jumped for it as he was getting ready for a May fight vs Saunders, so would Khurtsidze who was already looking to fight in June. Probably N'Dam as well since he has a fight coming up next weekend.

Golovkin should.....

1) Fight BJS for unification
2) Fight WBA Mandatory D. Jacobs
3) Fight WBC mandatory (if ordered)
4) Brutally KO Erislandy Lara
5) Fight Eubank Jr.

This is assuming we are not all shocked in two weeks when a 157 lb catch weight non-title bout is announced with Cinnamon boy

I wouldn't mind seeing it if canelo or saunders can't get made but jnr is obviously just name dropping

[PulpFriction]

Everybody is calling GGG now, they don't want to be put in the same category as Canelo! lol

[hyeduk]

In the meantime, Canelo is gonna fight Donaire to defend his title at 155 lol

Eubank is relentless and seems to have inherited his fathers mandible, This would have the potential to create an explosive fight. I think Golovkin wins however Eubank is more of a live dog that most people would care to admit.

Eubank Jr is a pretty good fighter and i've become a fan of his. But i think him fighting Golovkin is a bit too early. He should fight Saunders in a rematch, then Jacobs, and another middleweight like Lee and then Golovkin. The fight would be much bigger in that case.
