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

[hugh grant]

No reason for giggles to fight Eubanks. They'd say why does gggfight bums if he beats Eubanks.
Eubanks should get belt of of Jacobs first

[Raimondo]

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.

Amen, bro! GGG will always have his critics no matter who he beats.

Also I'd like to see Eubank Jr vs Lemieux before he fights GGG. Lemieux would be a good test/measurement stick for Chris.

Eubanks are delusional. Jr will just be another KO victim. Call all BJS or Jacob.

A win over Eubank is no better than Lemeiux or Murray. Saying Eubank would beat everyone on Lil G's resume is bull****, Eubank has shown nothing to prove that. I'd favour Lemieux over him, Eubank is so easy to hit and i don't care how good your chin is it'll crack eventually against a big puncher.

Lemieux would get schooled by BJS and Eubanks, he knows not to leave Canada. Murray? F*ucking Murray? That's going to fight George Groves next?. You must be trolling now.

Eubank jr has taken plenty of punishment from Euro level fighters. Spike O'sullivan (although he got beaten soundly) caught Eubank plenty of times with hard right hands. Lemieux would beat jr in my opinion. Let's see Eubank vs Lemieux or Stevens first. Eubank doesn't have the defence to survive a golovkin assault.

In an ideal world we would see GGG vs Canelo main event with Lemieux vs Eubank as main supporting feature. And the winners fight. But if Canelo jumps ship as most expect, fighting Eubank in England is not the worst fight that can be made. Remember Tszyu losing to Hatton in Manchester? I was absolutely certain Tszyu would cut through Hatton like a knife through butter... lost a lot of money on that fight.

[Nightfall]

atleast he wants to and will fight lil G. unlike the guadala-ho mexican fraude sour-ul el pollo alvared

[Eastcoast]

So would Golovkin get more respect for a win over Lara or a win over Eubank?

[Eastcoast]

Murray is a good fighter. Don't be surprised if the Groves fight is closer than you think. He's fringe world-title-level. He gave a prime Martinez his toughest night. Groves has been shot to bits since Froch 2. I could see Lemieux catching Eubank with a hard shot. Not so much BJS though, but BJS has stamina issues.

Martinez wasn't prime. He was old and coming off a long layoff due to his knee surgery. Then during the Murray fight he broke his hand and re-tore his knee.

Murray was a very durable MW but with soft offensive skills. The Abraham fight was there for the taking, but Martin just lacked a higher gear.


Also, Lemieux has stamina issues on par with Saunders. Lemieux had nothing for the last 3 rounds vs N'Dam.

DeGales says Eubank Jr is talking rubbish

Just seen this put up over at Sky, with DeGale rebutting the claims that Eubank Jr "embarassed" him in a sparring session some time ago. I am leaning towards believing DeGale more than the Eubanks on this.

It is really hard to take the Eubanks seriously on anything, they are like cartoon characters. Like other people have mentioned on this thread, I really don't see the reason for all the hype. Eubank Jr's got potential but to say he would beat all of Golovkin's opponents? Not sure about that...

EOY, mayb...GGG has a lot 2 select from as Fraudverez is ducking...negotiations my butt...
