Prime Eubank beats GGG

FWIW, Henry Wharton was 10x the fighter Martin Murray is.

Murray is the white Eubank SR apparently.

You can't compare an ATG legend like Calzaghe and what he did to the iron chinned Eubank and say a sloppy windmill puncher like GGG has the same result.

Joe would straight merc GGG and Eubank with his chin wouldn't move to any of his punches. A decision loss for glovkin I'm afraid and that's no shame because he's still the best 160 lber since Bernard.

May be Golovkin is not on the same level as Calazaghe but he is by no means a sloppy puncher.. The dude has a boxing acumen and he sets his punches up yo and his footwork is too good to get maximum momentum into his shots.. Calazaghe might box around Golovkin but Eubank is not going to outbox Golovkin, it will be an all out war.. Not saying anyone would win as its a fantasy matchup with Golovkin still a MW and we are talking about MW vs Super MW

Eubank would box circles around GGG. He really would.

The ferocious 160 lber version is Eubank SR was an animal and was a power puncher that would go for the kill. That pre-Watson version would've beaten up GGG and would do so knowing that glovkin couldn't back him up.

Eubank thoroughly outboxed Watson at a slow pace for the first five rounds of their first fight as middleweights, showing some very subtle skill. He kind of ran out of strength after five rounds due to being so tight at the weight and Watson stepping in quicker and throwing more right hands, making it a close decision in the end. But when it was toe-to-toe slower-paced pure boxing, it was no contest - Eubank was boxing circles around the highly talented Watson.

Watson landed far more right hands in the first five rounds on McCallum than he did Eubank, and Eubank landed far more right hands on Watson than McCallum did throughout the whole fight. McCallum of course landed more body shots from start to end, and got stronger as the fight went on being strong at the weight. Eubank showed more impressive defense and head shots than McCallum v. Watson at 160lb though. And McCallum for me is one of the best fighters ever. Plus M.W was v.rusty v. M.M, and had nice warm-up sharpeners prior to the C.E fight.

The old timers were great boxers no doubt and i have no doubt they have the ability to win, but the one thing that wil always get me is Golovkin's left hook to the body. People say now and again how so and so has a granite chin, but nobody has a granite liver. Gennady is arguably the most devastating body puncher in the game right now. It's this reason why I have him as a live game for anybody at least to 168.

No way Eubank beats GGG.

GGG wins via TKO or corner throws in the towel

GGG hasn't fought anyone yet.

Eubank proved himself against the most dangerous puncher in the world in Benn, beat Watson twice (fair and square twice), floored Malinga for the first time in his life, produced the most perfect knockout punch ever seen v.Jarvis, drew sell-out crowd in Portugal v. an America, looked better than lb4lb #1 Toney against Thornton, landed 600 hard jabs on Giminez, only guy to get the better of L.Holmes toe-to-toe, lifted Close off his feet with a four-inch uppercut, showed the fastest lb4lb combinations in the world outside of Roy Jones in Benn rematch, beat 35-0-0 G.Rocchigiani in his backyard (Rocchi went on to better Maske/Michalczewski clearly and beat Nunn), drew sell-out crowd in South Africa v. an American, put in a career-best performance against Wharton in his sixth fight in 10 months (5 out of 6 over 12 rounds for the world title, 3 out of 6 overseas!), dropped Collins with a head shot for the first time in his life (2nd round) only for it to be discounted and proceeded to drop Collins again (10th round) only to back off and pose instead of finish the job, gave Calzaghe the toughest fight of his career post-retirement and weight-drained on short notice, moved up two weights to face a 210lb ripped Thompson and be robbed twice despite a closed eye twice; standing up to Thompson's loaded rights once eye was closed!
