Comments Thread For: Hearn: Eubank Says Golovkin Demand is No Joke, Wants it Next

[bklynboy]

Make no mistake, Eubank Jr beats Golovkin.

Book it.

I know I don't have many points but I put all of my points on GGG against Eubanks Jr.

First Canelo, Jacobs, Saunders, Lara, then E-Banks. I hope he was a Bank that payed more,he would be first in line.

I'm giving odds if this fight does get made..Sr throws in the towel. I like Chris, he has great potential but he's not quite there yet imo. He couldn't stop BJS highly highly doubt he has the power to make Golovkin respect him.

Chris seems to have a sturdy chin, decent pop and speed with great stamina. It will be a tough test for GGG and the two styles will make a great fight. Good fight while it lasts.

I don't want to give up on the GGG/Canelo fight just yet. Eubank Jr. is a nice fallback option if that or the BJS fight isn't made. Prefer he fight Canelo tho

give up dude. alvared has no intentions to fight lil g. never had and never will.

Ggg fans have been consistently dismissive of this and I think it's because they like to claim that no one wants to fight him. The Eubanks have a lot of pride and I don't doubt Chris would take him this fall. As I've said before, if he fights on HBO in America, even a loss will help him so long as he gives a good fight. If he's insistent on it being in the UK, I doubt it happens.

I know you don't want to seem like a ggg hater and try to be objective but look at this article.

He says he'll fight him tomorrow then in the same interview he says this

"I really believe I'll be in the ring fighting for a world title towards the end of this year. I need to get a couple more fights, defend the British belt a few times, then jump in there and win myself a [world] title belt."

That's me quoting what he said in the same interview. Does it sound like he wants ggg next?

Contradiction is rife in this sport (need I remind you of ggg wanting Ward, then suddenly not). If his manager says he's negotiating it, I'm fine saying let's see what happens. It's transparent when people vehemently deny that anyone ever wants to fight Golovkin. They're acting like ill-behaved children. If nothing comes of this in a month, then by all means, say what you will about Eubank. Until then, why can't we just see how it unfolds? Why do the hardcores act like apes throwing shyt?

I will not.

I don't think he's saying that you're afraid of Eubank Jr. Just that you love to say that no one wants to fight GGG but Eubank Jr ruins that narrative.

I never said or implied "afraid". I said that GGG fans like to brag that "no one wants to fight him". That's more of a fact than an opinion. FFS man, please make some attempt to read this shyt before replying.
And, FWIW, I've consistently said GG beats Jr.

It all comes down to the conditions that Jr sets in negotiations. If he plays the A-side role bs, then I'll know he wasn't serious about the fight. These fighters are difficult because they want more money than the champion. Makes you wonder. But like I said before (insert Floyd gif here) let's wait to see what happens, let's wait to see which is jr's next opponent...

The most interesting thing to me is what was mentioned previously about the fight happening in the UK. I would call BS if they demand that. Asking for it is just part of the game but if it's a deal-breaker then it's BS on Eubank's side. Were he a major title holder and a huge UK draw, maybe, but Golovkin is the man at MW and you can't expect him to take his belts to the UK for a guy who isn't offering much more than a name (and not a big name)
