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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Even Eddie Hearn, the head of Matchroom Sport, had his doubts when reading the numerous statements being made by Chris Eubank Jr. (22-1, 17 KOs), who is demanding a September fight with IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KO).

He will wish it was a joke after Golovkin takes his head off

I'll wait until after Eubank fight this weekend. This could be Hearn and Eubank Sr. using GGG's name to promote the fight this weekend.

Sure would be nice if the WBA stepped in and did what they said they would do if the Canelo-GGG doesn't happen, which it isn't.

Pretty much this, i'll just stay here and be quiet until postfight

Eubank Jr. would be GGG's best opponent other than Lemieux (IBF champion at the time) and maybe Murray.

He is not better than Murray. Murray has contended on the world level. Eubank hasn't competed above the domestic level. And when he had an opportunity to compete for a portion of a world title he choose the British title.

Good on Eubank if he takes the fight. But let's not act like a guy coming off O'sullivan, Blackwell, and Doran has fought the level of competition that Murray has.

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.

It is IMO. THey're fighting some plumber and they probably won't get BJS again....so gotta build up hype somewhere. I doubt it gets made too.

Here's hoping WBA mandates the fight....which they won't...because then they lose out on a sanctioning fee

[BrometheusBob.]

Eh, he'll do.

Keep singing that same old song... Yes, we are afraid of Lara and now we are also afraid of Eubank Jr.
