Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Told Loeffler, Eubank Will Sign For Golovkin Right Now

[Baltimore]

Hard to trust Hearn but I have no reason to distrust Eubank so hope this happens.

Would still rather see Saunders for unification purposes if given the choice but who knows maybe GGG can fight both in his next two fights.

[i'm a fun haver]

Yeah, good thing he's fighting Tom Doran lol

[Cinci Champ]

I read he might fight Mora in a fight nobody cares about. If he absolutely has to have a tuneup then he should fight Blanco and get rid of the interim champ.......

everyone keeps saying jacobs but we all know that fight aint happening until its ordered for purse bid anyway and it has nothing to do with either fighter not wanting to fight

[kafkod]

Jr has signed for two fights with Hearn, right?

Yeah, he signed a two fight deal and Eubank Sr told Hearn that if he gets them a fight with Golovkin his son will extend that two fight deal and stay with Matchroom long term.

We already know Jacobs is fighting July 30th so he's certainly not fighting GGG in September.

Now we're down to Saunders. After that, Lara, Eubank, whatever make it happen.

Jacobs told the WBA prez he wants Mora next...not his mando with GGG! Fake ass champions!!!

[UNBIASED BOXING]

How are people not excited for this fight?

I think Eubank Jr. would be willing to go to war to beat Golovkin. This would be an exciting match to watch.

[DoktorSleepless]

I don't think Eubank Jr is a bigger draw than Golovkin here in the states. What purpose would him going over there serve?

[Jubei]

Eubank is fighting in late June, lets hope he doesn't change his mind until then.

I feel a bit unpatriotic posting this since i'm English but here goes........ GGG is my favourite active fighter so I would love to see him come to the UK to see him fight Saunders or Eubank or DeGale or whoever.

Can any enlightened boxing fans please share with me the blueprint that they feel Chris Eubank Jnr uses to beat 3G!!!???

It baffles me that some folk feel Eubank has a realistic chance to win this fight.

How??

What does Eubank do better, equal to, or remotely close to Golovkins abilities and skill set??

People who say GGG hasn't fought any1 are blind to the fact he is the most avoided fighter out there.

I seen an article on another site and somebody highlighted since 2009 no fewer than 17 middleweights have ducked or ridiculously priced themselves out of a fight with 3G.

He is the real deal - the only guy who even troubles him is Ward and I'm not even getting into the back n forth tit for tat about 3G and SOG n who has ducked who - all I know is neither guy would feel truly confident of winning and it says so much for 3G that people mention Ward n 3G in the same breath.

I will finish by saying I would be the 1st to feel disappointed if 3G didn't move up to 168 asap coz he is good enough to wipe that division out as well.

There are levels to this sport and the rooftop balcony is shared by an elite few and the 3G man has his air Jordans and blue robe in a locer n said rooftop balcony.

Like it or not!!

War GGG

Simple. Watch Golovkin-Rosado; scar tissue falling apart aside, when Rosado actually boxed, he gave Golovkin fits and punished him (Wipe the blood off of the face at the end of the fight, and it was clear that Golovkin took more actual punishment).

If Golovkin is allowed to stalk, not worry about anything coming back, and fight at that medium range, he looks marvelous; you make him fight from range or make him fight on the inside, and he instantly becomes ordinary.

Eubank Jr is definitely a raw talent who likely needs some more time to get experience, but he's been seemingly blessed with father's chin, is explosive from range, and is starting to look like the most natural and dynamic inside fighter at 160lbs on the planet.

K2's been careful with who they consider fighting Golovkin for a reason; i think Eubank Jr smokes Golovkin with 16-18 months more experience. If they don't fight him soon, I don't see K2 ever willingly fighting him

Jr has signed for two fights with Hearn, right?

Yes, but Eddie Hearn also has exclusive rights to Sky Sports/Sky Box Office for the next five years, in addition to being a viable boxing contact to the United States with Haymon.

If Eubank's profile breaks through, to the point that he's a box office star in the UK, there's no real reason for him to go elsewhere, imo
