Comments Thread For: Eubank Smiles: If Heavyweights Can't KO Me, How Can Golovkin?

[alexguiness]

Sadly, outside of Murray, Eubanks would be the best fighter on Golovkin's resume. I hope the fight gets made. I'm not predicting a Eubanks win, just looking forward to seeing Golovkin step up his competition level.

It is a MUCH bigger leap for Eubanks than GGG in terms of opposition.

Unless you count the BJS fight...which he lost.

GOLOVKIN'S POWER & RESUME ARE OVER-RATED!

Golovkin has only fought low-level to mid-level opponents at best. When you fight top-level fighter's constantly , it is very difficult to get a KO in every fight. Boxing history tells us this.

Lemieux & Rosado are 2 of Golovkin's top opponents. I watched Rosado get KO'd in 2 rounds by Alfredo Angulo. I watched Lemieux get KO'd vs. Rubio in the 7th round. Both guys were KO'd faster then GGG KO'd them, so he didn't wow me, or many others.

34 year old Golovkin's last opponent had no training camp basically , due to criminal activity & court scheduling ,
18 fight prospect , going to prison on house arrest leading up to the GGG fight , Dominick Wade.

At 154-168 where GGG "says" he resides, he would of not KO'd , Ward, Lara , CANELO , Degeale , Ramirez , Hopkins just to name a few of the fighters GGG had excuses to not fight. The fighters I mentioned all have great defense and they can punch and have strong chins, plus experience against top-fighters. If he would of KO'd these guys we'd all be impressed, but he chose not to make the fights.
:gay:

Eubanks will be an "interesting" opponent for GGG. He's a good fighter. Do I think he has a chance of beating Golovkin. Not bloody likely.

[Jim Tom]

So: Eubank Jr. is talking GGG only to sell his Saturday fight against Doran (?)...
Wait until after that fight to hear Jr. speaking again.

You got a point

I don't believe any average HW has ever landed clean on Eubank. What a load of ****!

Getting in a ring with a HW and dancing about and avoiding punches is used by a lot of fighters. It benefits HW's to try and land half-hearted jabs on a SMW or LHW. It helps timing and is a good training method.

Eubank is making out like he's been in with a HW and taken full shots which would NEVER happen in any boxing gym.

He always lets himself down with these ****** comments and lies

It will ne a nice challenge for ggg to crack a eubank chin. To see if he can do it. Ggg might have to go 12 rounds. Hopefully ggg wont break his hands on rock which a eubank chin is, be it snrs or jnrs.

It's time to call BS on Eubank..
Golovkin relies on the fear factor he has on his opponents.
I have been hit by HW and they couldn't knock me down.

It appears that he takes a lot of pride in his sparring sessions than his actual fight itself.. Eubank hasnt even put domestic level guys on the floor but talks a lot of horseshit..

[Triple Genius]

Just so we're clear, if Triple G knocks him out, this counts, right?

[ChiCityExtractz]

Whether it's a little hammer or a bigger hammer, the hammer will almost always damage its target unless it's seriously outsized... That being said, Eubank is no hammer, he is a nail. GGG, is a Jackhammer, it's not even funny how strong he is. Stop talking, fight. Nuff said or stay your happy a$$ in Britain fighting for nothing. I'm sure GGG technique and snap is far more thAt of some average heavyweight. Anyone hits hard, it's just HOW they hit you and how consistent their body is to punching at that strength with such precision.

[Weltschmerz]

He didn't smile though, he said it with a straight face.
