    Also, here's Eubank St accepting responsibility for the fight not happening.



    But keep blaming GGG
    Like I said it's a pattern.

    That Mirror article you cited proves MY point.

    Peep how short the negotiation time was.

      You need to learn about biased journalism. The naive... “it’s news reporting so it must be real.”

        You're an idiot, not really worthy of conversation. At least koolkc is saying something that is plausible, rather than a respected UK publication is biased against UK fighter. Please...

          Can You show me the part where it says k2? I specifically read that it was Hearn who put the deadline on Eubank, and Hearn said Eubank was making "crazy demands". I didn't see where Eddie said anything about k2 rushing things.

            Because he yaps while fighting 50th ranked bums for 'belts' on 'ppv'.

            Lost his only world class fight and didn't take the other one. Don't compare him to Wilder. Wilder fought numerous top 20 contenders and hasn't ducked anyone except for Wlad, 4 years ago

              Eubanks is still at contender status but the simple fact is he's only faced one Top 10 Guy in BJS and got beat by him pretty easily at least for the first 8 rds before Saunders poor conditioning let him down in the 4 rds.

              Since then he's faced a lot of fringe contenders and looked very good beating them but none of them have been Top 10 guys so it's hard to say yet whether he's just a Good Boxer or a Great one.

              Also, factor in that the Middleweight and Super Middle are very weak divisions at the moment and don't have any real talent or depth outside of the Top 10 so it's easier to look good against weaker opposition then in other weight divisions like Welterweight.

              For me, his first REAL TEST since BJS will be against Top 10 Super Middle George Groves and then we'll see if Eubank has the Goods or not.

                Eubank lost a lot of credibility and a lot of fans in the UK by calling out GGG then losing his pen when Golovkin accepted the challenge.

                That was a great performance by him last night though, and his next fight will be against either Groves or Cox in the UK.

                The fans Jr lost over the GGG fiasco will be getting back behind him now, I'm sure.

                  What YOU NEED to look at is the difference in how long it took to negotiate a fight with Dominic Wade and with Canelo or Jacobs.

                  Big fights take time.

                  And clearly Hearn had a deadline...but you haven't asked yourself why or where that deadline came from.

                  Hearn is the same guy sitting on some of the biggest matches that can be made today in the sport.

                  So, why was he in such a rush with Chris?

                    I like the boxers I like and it makes no difference to me what country they are from. I am a Canelo fan and I live in New Mexico as does Austin Trout. When Trout fought Canelo I was rooting for Canelo to win. It makes no difference to me that Wilder is an American. I just don't like him and I do like AJ. Nationalism has nothing to do with what boxers I like.

                      According to this article, GGGCanelo negotiations only took 2 weeks.

                      http://www.boxingscene.com/de-la-hoya-making-canelo-golovkin-easy-only-took-two-weeks--116371

                      So, I've shown an article where Hearn blames Sr, an article where Sr takes the blame for fight not happening, and now an article where GBP says k2 was easy to work. So you have anything for me about k2 rushing negotiations or being hard to work with?
