Originally posted by Ray* View PostEubank jr is definitely NOT ready, if he takes the fight then I applaud him but there is NO way Hearn would put Eubank jr in there with GGG at this point, they would talk the talk but wait another 2/3 years before the fight actually happens... Saw that with Ricky Hatton, talked about fighting Tyszu under warren around 2001 and fight happened in 2005... Not blaming Hatton here doe
I think Eubank would give Golovkin a far more dangerous fight than Alvarez. One difference between Alvarez & Eubank though, I think Alvarez isn't going to improve much more than what he is right now.
As for Eddie Hearn, perhaps he's blowing smoke trying to hype up Eubank, but Eubank is only signed for one more fight and Eddie probably wants that guaranteed payday. People thought the Eubanks were crazy for jumping into the Saunders fight, but they did anyways and lost his zero. His dad is over the moon about him b/c of how he's watched him dominate Froch & DeGale in sparring, and how he's able to handle sparring HW's.

Originally posted by Motorcity Cobra View PostNowhere near ready. After his loss to Saunders he fought O'sullivan, Blackwell, and now Doran. He also gave up his opportunity for a world title to fight for a british title. He went from world level opponents when he fought Saunders to domestic level punching bags.

He's in a crappy spot, yet again. At 160 there is Eubank and Saunders. Saunders would be the best option, just to get all the belts, but who knows with Saunders- he's a twitter talker and seems like he's demanding too much money but we'll see. Eubank is a solid option, but with Eubank getting rejected trying to fight in the Olympics, makes me doubt how serious he and his team are in fighting Golovkin this year. Time will tell. At 168, I don't even know who's available and worth moving up for. Might as well fight Lara if he's down to fight at 160 - respectable name, could "one up" Canelo so to speak.

These casual fans amuse me.
Other so called top fighters struggle with their opposition, with their mandatories, with other top 10 fighters in their division, thats why MW is bad and other divisions are top.
Yeah I know Porky Medina is suddenly a Top P4P fighter and the Charlos are the Elite of the sport.
GGG has quite a few potential opponents.
Saunders, Canelo, Eubank, Heiland (Mando), Zurdo, Jacobs, possibly even Lara if nobody else available.
