    As Eddie Hearn's ''48 hours'' to confirm a date with Golovkin heads toward 10 days, probably safe to say that Eubank Junior will not be ''ripping away the world titles and keeping them for a LONG time.''

    Surely Junior's next fight can't be against another domestic level non-puncher though. The list of men Golovkin has beaten throws up some interesting fights. Eubank vs Curtis Stevens? Lemieux? Even Willie Monroe would represent major progress from Tom Doran. What about Andy Lee?

    No more public sparring sessions featuring imitating dad throughout. Let's see this guy fight a man who can threaten him. After the Golovkin tease, it's the least Sky should ask.

    Even Stevens would be a decent step.. Altho id favour Eubank
    Lemieux is almost as dangerous as GGG v Eubank for me..Not many can handle his power.
    Monroe akwards a bit under appricated maybe but
    Andy Lee good proven fighter - struggled V Bill Joe

    All good fights but i bet its another safe one which is exactly what JNR doesn't need

    What weight does Rosado fight at? Hed be a game all action winnable fight...is he one 154?

    Rosado is campaigning at 160 , and would beat Eubank handily.

    I do worry a little. Saw a link saying "If not GGG then BJS rematch" as if to suggest a plan b is being laid out right away.

    If it's another harmless scuffler like Tom Doran I'm completely zoning out on the whole Eubank road show. The guy isn't a teenage phenom, he's a 27 year-old man currently 0-1 against world class opposition. Step it up man!

    Lol. Not a chance in hell. Eubank destroys him and leaves him a battered, broken, bloodied mess in the ring. Eubank would take years off his career. Total mismatch.

    Eubank has fought one World Class opponent, and was made to look like a fool for 6 rounds until Saunders awful conditioning allowed Junior a way back into the fight.

    Eubank does nothing better than Gabby except overwhelm over matched opponents.

    You should try smoking something, because your eyesight and boxing knowledge is embarrassing.

    Rosado would actually be a good fight for Eubank. If I was managing him that's the kind of fight I'd look for. Rosado is a tough fighter who won't be bullied easily, Golovkin battered him but didn't knock him down did he? It would actually be pretty close I think but Eubank winning through activity.

    The Eubanks' next move will ultimately prove whether they are total frauds or not.

    Rosado is the American Nick Blackwell, pretty much to the tee.

    It would be the same outcome

    It doesn't matter what he does it wont please the majority here.

    I'd like him to put the GGG fight in hold, revenge BJS then fight GGG.

    I think the GGG fight happens now though but if it fell through they may be on bad terms with k2 and find it hard to make down the line.

    My guess is they would try for a Canelo "fight" next...
