    Eubank is a beast and all the hardcores know it deep down.

    Yes, casual's can be annoying but seriously, the hardcores are worse. Way worse! And often more wrong in their fight predictions ironically.

    They get - pretend - excited for hipster match ups like Usyk-Mchunu but sh1t on Joshua-Klitschko! Ridiculous & an obvious example of them lying to themselves.

    They constantly criticise Eddie Hearn & many of them claim Fr4nk is the better promoter which is totally absurd.

    They will tell you BJS would school Eubank 'again' when deep down they know Eubank absolutely slaughters him.

    They also have a weird obsession with Kovalev who is nowhere near p4p top 3 nevermind number 1 where I've seen many hardcores put him. Kovalev/ward was a trade fight hence a hardcore audience, hence why going by the reaction it was a robbery. The scorecards were perfect & it's really not hard to score. Ward 114-113.

    And an array of other things....Hardcores are worse than casual's.

    what the casual says:

    "[insert fighter here] hasn't fought anyone"​



    what the casual actually means:

    "[insert fighter here] hasn't fought anyone that i've heard of"​

    I see you are 19 & have only recently joined the forum. You might be 'new-ish' to the boxing scene. Most people, including myself, start going through a hardcore phase where you are reading comments on social media from other hardcores, you are listening to hardcore podcasts etc & it brainwashes you.

    Don't go down that route. Always trust your eyes, that's why the casual's are more right than the hardcores.

    Hardcores will tell you usyk is a skilled monster who can wipe out the heavyweight division & that AJ was a fraud. Lol. They were wrong. That's just one small example out of dozens.

    Hardcores like CST here tell you Charles Martin will knock out the matchroom hype fraud that is Joshua.

    How did that go?

    CST matches the description of a 'hardcore hipster'.

    Kovalev Avatar & predicts AJ will get KO'd every fight, thinks Abraham will beat Eubank. I use the term 'thinks' lightly as deep down he knows that won't happen. CST is like Dwyer on YouTube. Whoever he picks, got against it.

    "Mayweather and Conor is going to be such a good fight and maybe the fight of the century."
    "Conor has an excellent chance of knocking Floyd out, he is a beast."
    "Floyd's never faced anybody like Conor"

    :ohno

    Don't get me wrong, the Eubank's were the reason behind that fight not happening. However, I think it would be closer than most think & I'm a big fan of GGG. After seeing his last fight against Jacobs, which I had him losing, I'd have money on Eubank beating him if the odds were good.

    But if we are talking Brits like DeGale, Calum Smith, Groves & BJS, Eubank beats them all but none of them are gonna want it apart from maybe a now desperate Saunders.

    eubank has no power in his shots to hurt the granite chin ggg has, ggg would knock him out

    I'll put my record on here against you or Dwyer any day of the week.

    And since I actually keep one, here it is 661-235 (328 KO) bring it on, go up to Kirk's let's fight. Show me what you got CASUAL!

    Add in all the robberies and the handful of troll picks, and there's a lot, my wins go up to somewhere around 720.

    As far as my Kovalev avatar goes, that's basically the first avatar I've had of a Boxer since they brought avatars back, I change my avatar about 3 times a week, that one won't last long. I figured I'd support my boy, that I've been high on well before most on here were talking about him.
