        I'll just repeat what I wrote in my last post in another thread:

        So how much is Charlo getting in the impending Eubank fight? $5 million?
        And do you think Eubank Jr would accept $2 million when he knows
        he's the only choice they got?
        This is the father and son team who turned down £5 million for the GGG fight
        a year or so ago.

          Boxrec is decent, but not without flaws. Their algorithm is unable to provide context as to where fighters are at in their careers.

          For example, if Kownacki beat Rid**** Bowe tomorrow, that win would undoubtedly move Kownacki to #1, based on Bowe's record and resume. Boxrec cannot factor in how shot someone was.

          So I think its reasonable to believe that more weight was given to the abraham and degale wins on Eubanks record than maybe should have been.

          There is no perfect system. Boxrec, despite its flaws, can take a good bit of the bias out of rankings. It just must be taken as being debatable........

            I think Eubank could beat him.
            To his credit I've never seen Charlo "forced to fight" in any of his fights.
            He always takes the action to his opponent.

            I mean fans need to move on and accept the fact that he's never going to cross the street at any price.
            This Eubank fight could be a good scrap.

              I’m surprised so many people are high on Eubank. He looks ready to get taken out in spectacular fashion by someone like Charlo IMO.

                thats fair...i get it

                but still....eubank at this point, while prob not as tricky and as good as andrade, is still about as good of a fight/win....its not like andrade has beaten anyone even close to good or special.....i get that sulecki isnt bad....hes def the best guy andrade has fought

                  Andrade is a world champion and is offering $7 million.

                  That's a better fight for several reasons.

                    im actually not that high on Andrade. I wasnt high on him when GGG was being accused of ducking him, and Im not any higher on him now. It makes no sense for GGG, or Canelo to fight Andrade. He cant draw ants to a picnic, and his style bores people to tears.

                    But Charlo is a different story. He hasnt even beaten a top 10 middleweight yet. A Charlo-Andrade fight is needed to sort out who is the next middleweight boogeyman. Or maybe a charlo-derev and andrade-eubank mini-tournament, and the winners fight each other........ (or any combination of those guys. I said Charlo-derev as i figured that was the easiest fight to make)
