Comments Thread For: Hearn: Eubank Obsessed With Golovkin Fight, Wants it Next

[Eff Pandas]

I say give Eubank the fight. He's shown more desire to fight GGG than any two guys ranked higher than him. I don't think he's the most talented younger cat out there, but he's got the biggest balls & its not like he sucks. I don't think he beats GGG, but I suspect he'll leave it all out there & give a solid account for himself like the last cat who was actually wanting GGG, Willie Monroe. Eubank ain't going out like Wade thats for sure.

I didn't know about that. Just read his list of ailments. Martinez was falling apart.

“I had a partially torn meniscus. I had a breakage in the femoral capsule, right behind the knee. I had a post-operation infection right before the [Martin] Murray fight. I had partially broken cartilage, where the cartilage became like a small saw on my tibia. I had an injury in my ligaments as well, a distension of the ligaments. I also had chondromalacia patellae, which is the injury that occurs beneath the kneecap. That’s why they couldn’t find an integral solution, because there were many injuries together. And recovering from that, being 39 years of age, was difficult. But thanks to the doctors I am fine.”

Anyways, not a prime Martinez but Murray is just under world level. The only guy he's convincingly lost to is GGG. And groves is shot since Froch 2. So I think it may be fairly close, unless Groves can get back to his old self.

Is Groves shot or was he never that good to begin with? I still like him to beat Murray by decision, the real test will be Callum Smith. I'm not sold on Smith, he's been fed carefully, I'd like to see Groves knock him off and get a DeGale rematch.

"No he's not serious he hasn't formally sent Lil G a contract, he doesn't speak American English and his manager typed this on Twitter, he's ducking Lil G...." same old shameless disgusting rhetoric,from non boxing fans.

Like anybody would say Eubank Jr. was a "live dog" or worthy opponent if GGG smashed him.

Don't get me wrong, i personally like and rate Eubank and think he could be very good but if he was stopped by GGG knocks him out, everybody will just say "Eubank only ever beat domestic level fighters". If he knocks out Jacobs it will be "Pirog already did it, Jacobs is chinny". If he beats Canelo, then Canelo had "already lost to Floyd, and probably Lara and maybe trout". etc. etc.

He's at the stage now where no win will ever get credit from some people, they will find a way to dismiss it.

Anyway, i think GGG v Eubank could be a good fight but i'd like to see Eubank fight a good opponent, maybe a guy GGG has beaten like Stevens or Lemiuex and see how he gets on. If he beats them well, then i think more people would be interested in it.

ya he is in floyds territory when it comes to that but lets be real people arent saying his resume so far sucks because hes ggg its because it sucks

Wishful thinking is not gonna make Canelo look like less of a fraud

This is typical of what I'm seeing on here. When GGG fights Rubio, Adamu or the Willy Monroes people are content. Golovkin is 34 he's not getting any younger & Eubanks is one of the best young talents in the MW division.

Christopher Eubanks jr would beat everyone on GGG CV via stoppage. Are you American or Billy Joe in disguise?.

Please tell me you don't think he would beat lemeuix or Stevens! His biggest wins and technically only wins are against blackwell chudinov and spike. Imagine what lemuix would do to those 3! It's ok to love a fighter but no real fight follower believes jr is near true world class level, indicated by the fact he turns down anyone remotely close to world class...Jacobs, quillin et al. His defence is beyond leaky, he doesn't carry power, and his chin has been buzzed by men who don't punch at world level (think spike). Facts are facts....he's never fought beyond euro level in 5 years as a pro ....lemeuix Stevens rosado etc are proven world or fringe world level. To put it in football terms if your top of division 1 it doesn't mean your ready for Barcelona, but hey if you hype it up enough you may get the free trip for a friendly and the chance for the shirt swapping you secretly knew you were only out and good for in the begining....that's the inalogy to a T!

[ironalex]

Ggg Is elite, jr is euro level...predictable outcome, il prob get like 1.04 betting on ggg which tells you all the danger jr poses lol

[aboutfkntime]

WBC/WBA/IBO/IBF middleweight world champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KOs) is the only fall target of British champion Chris Eubank Jr. (22-1, 17KOs).

Not sure how I feel about this fight.....

Eubank is better than some of the scrubs that Golovkin is fighting, and I don't think that Golovkin will get Jacobs/Saunders next..... but then we will have to listen to the tards proclaiming that Eubank is the second coming blah blah.....

The only thing I got from this was more Dominic Wades. Bring it on let's get this party started!. Yes I said it, Eubank jr pulvarises both names mentioned.

34 years old and you've got people clamouring for Golovkin not to fight the biggest names in the division. You wrote a whole essay as to why he shouldn't fight one of the elite young talents in the division.

Can anybody name me five fighters active in the MW division he should face?.
