    Him being easy to hit is itself a bit of a myth as well. You can count the number of times he's been cleanly hit in his last 4 fights on your hands

    He also has an iron chin and knows he is OK to take a punch as when he lands he'll hurt them a great deal more. :lol:

    I mean, maybe CEJ will rapidly improve loads but saying he is quicker and has better stamina (which isn't really proven) doesn't make a case (in my mind) that he has a chance against him.

    Obviously CEJ hasn't been down either, but against Spike he looked hurt at times. Spike is a dangerously overrated puncher might I add. I'm willing to bet he has a decent chin but nothing yet has said to me 'iron'

    If you read the quote again...

    He's not THE MOST technically skilled.

    Eubank Jnr is technically excellent but has a lot of flaws.

    That was my point.

    GGG is relatively easy to hit but the majority of his opponents haven't thrown much for fear of being folded in two by a counter.

    Who said he hurt him? I said he rocked him - which he did when CEJ got all ****y and mouthed off to BJS at ringside and Blackwell clocked him. He certainly wasn't hurt but he was shaken. A good lesson to learn, by the way.

    The problem is Jr is technically found wanting, virtually no amateur experience, his footwork is bang average, his power is bang average, he looks to have his Dad's chin though but Golovkin was an elite amateur and now an elite professional who just happens to punch like a sledgehammer.

    Golovkin ends this when he want to.

    I have to disagree with this part. He's a flashy volume puncher but his footwork is shoddy. He is so open when he throws that uppercut from the otherside of the ring as well. He's always loading up as well, never seems to vary his power output. As mentioned by someone else on here, his lack of pre-pro experience is quite evident by the lacking of fundamentals

    If you think that eubank is technically better than GGG then you've clearly never boxed/know anything about boxing
