What does Eubank Jr know about facing top opponents? He has one elite opponent on his resume, Billy Joe Saunders, and he lost to him.

Doesn't matter if Eubank is a bum or not, he's absolutely right in what he said. It's telling that fighters are coming out saying these things about Canelo and not just fans on the Internet. People losing respect for Canelo in his own sport.

Jr saying "may be he doesn't have the confidence that I have when it comes to facing top contenders" is funny really.. This guy went back a step after BJS and Spike to fight Blackwell and now Another C level fighter..

So Jr you shouldn't be the one to say top contenders after your choice of last 2 opponents

GGG wanted to fight in September. Eubank Jr. is talking "year-end..." Just say, "I want to fight GGG in September."

I know this is a shallow attempt at throwing his name into the Canelo sweepstakes but he might as well forget it. Beat somebody first.

Sounds like some of these middleweights are baiting for a payday.

I'm with you on this. Fighters are laughing at it. Rosado came out before he dropped the title defending Canelo, when Canelo dropped the title Rosado was like "So now we drop titles so we don't have to fight fighters now".

SOmeone please buy Canelo a bra and thong. He's all hype no substance

Guys like Rosado have to work as hard as they can to get to the level he's on. Guys like Canelo get spoon fed opponents and make it based on hype alone. Beating on faded tiny guys his whole career he became a star. Then when he steps it up against a real elite fighter he gets embarrassed. Canelo is just an above average fighter, nothing more. He will always struggle or look bad against anyone who's not completely washed up or a stiff. Guys like GGG will smash him and guys like Lara will frustrate him all night and make him look bad.
