Comments Thread For: Eubank Jr: Golovkin is Slow, Easy To Hit - His Power Can't Beat Me!

[Progrssive_Jedi]

Before fighting GGG versus After fighting ggg

Before-GGG is slow and power is overrated/after-GGG's power is real and he's faster than he seems. We've heard it time again, he's overrated, I'm a beast, blah blah blah. Then it's man, he's the real deal, blah blah blah.

Eubanks has a uppercut and hand speed, which he can't control. He's smoking something.

This!
I realize he is just talking to try and bait Golovkin, but the **** these guys say is ridiculous. Slow? How about methodical and accurate so he can sit down on his shots and throw with intent. And do they not see that he literally sticks his head out, stops punching, and eggs on his opponent to try and make it briefly competitive? He did the same exact thing with Monroe and Wade because he knew they couldn't hurt him. Did he do that with Lemieux? No, he didn't. Because Lemieux can punch. The result of that was GGG was barely touched in that fight. Compubox isn't the best, but for what its worth, he was recently listed as the 2nd or 3rd least hit fighter in boxing.

And everyone Golovkin has faced recently says the same thing about the previous opponents being scared before they even get in the ring, and this time it will be different...yada...yada..to me that just sounds like he is already in their head.

That comes down to competition faced, so I would suggest that stat is very misleading..... but yea, I don't give Eubank much chance, I highly doubt he will take that fight at this point in time.

it would go the same for GGG

Are you kidding me, Eubanks fought one top ten guy and lost. GGG has fought six in four years and destroyed every one of them.

I like Eubank, he's an exciting fighter.

However: leaky defense, wild swinging punches, and average power isn't going to beat GGG.

It'll be a fun 6 rounds though.

Eubank is a legit threat with his speed, power, stamina, and chin. But he needs more seasoning, atleast another 2 quality opponents. You could see his improvement from Saunders to Chudinov, however he hasn't fought anyone to push him since then.

You can't possible compare the two, one is a legit top ten champion. Suanders is a decent fighter.

Eubanks hasn't fought anyone else that could even test Murray, Lemieux, Or Geale--not now but when GGG fought them.

In all likelyhoid they are not going to put Eubanks in the ring with GGG.

Good point. I temporarily forgot that he picked up the WBC belt this week.

That's excellent news, then. It means we can rest easy that both of them will show up clean on fight night.

Maybe you should do a quick google search before posting nonsense? Golovkin has been Vada tested for his last couple of fights. I have seen this kind of crap posted in several places lately by Mayweather cronies. Because Povetkin tested positive; GGG and Kovalev must be doping. Ever occur to you that some boxers are just very good at what they do, and fight offensively, rather than running around the ring showcasing a shoulder roll?

This is the list he was likely referring to. Came from this article.

I don't know that I would include Rosado since he was ranked at 154 at the time, not 160.

(as rated by the Transnational Boxing Rankings at the time that each particular fight happened)

160lbs:
Lemieux #4
Murray #4
Geale #5
Macklin #6
Proska #9

154lbs:
Rosado #10

Chudinov is a decent MW who would've gave guys like Macklin, Geale, and Murray a hell of a fight. Eubank murked him, almost ruined his career. Chris needs more work, but he has high potential and is huge for MW. He has arguably more tangibles going for him vs Golovkin than Alvarez, Jacobs, Saunders, or Lara.

Rubio and Stevens were also Ring top 10 at the time. Pretty sure Rubio was tbrb top 10 as well

No, and I don't know that I would include Proksa/Macklin either.

And how many of those guys are genuinely world-class ?

It's no prob, I am just pointing out Progressive Jedi's spin.

Good god, that article said this..... "Golovkin’s American debut he’s beaten more top 10 contenders than Canelo and Kovalev"..... and all I would like to say is..... good god, how fkn desperate/ignorant can some people get?

So yea, I wouldn't take anything out of an article which attempted to insinuate that Golovkin has a better resume than Canelo/Kovalev.

That is obviously absurd. It is painting pictures, and running with technicalities...... when it simply comes down to 1 thing..... WHO did you beat.

Fk "technical" rankings, in a piss-poor middleweight division.

The fact is, Golovkin beat Murray/Lemieux, nobody else counts, and nobody else was a genuine contender..... regardless as to the spin, and regardless as to which incompetent asshat organisation decided to rank those guys.

That article is stating that Murray/Lemieux > Kovalev's resume, and Canelo's resume LMAO
