    Who wins? I think cringeubank needs some beating and veteran ggg can provide this.

    Based on last night's performance, GGG cuts off the ring all night against Eubank and unloads on him.

    Old GGG still beats up the showboater.

    GGG but the clock is ticking. there will come a point where he's beatable Jr just isn't good enough at the moment.

    GGG probably but who knows what he actually has left at this point. Eubank Jr has grown into a super middleweight and he might just win on his athleticism not boxing ability.

    I've never rated Eubank Jr but one thing i can say that his movement has definitely improved.

    His boxing ability not so much.

    GGG is much slower foot and hand than Williams
    Punch for Punch Williams isn’t far behind in the power stakes lol.

    GGG has a great chin and much better Jab.
    He is a come forward fighter though and certainly no defensive wizard.

    Would love to see the fight

    Even a prehistoric GGG would dominate Eubank JR through his superior jab and movement.

    I know Eubank JR already chickened out of this fight at the last minute. Only Kell Brook stepping in saved the show.

    So if I was GGG then I wouldn’t be giving Eubank JR a payday after that

    At this moment in time, GGG wins, but he’s declining while Eubank is slowly improving under RJJ

    Honestly it might be among the better paydays left to him involving someone who a) is willing to fight him and b) he can still beat.

    Eubank is 32, still unteachable and has an inflated ego. What he has going for him is good genes, athleticism and a strong work ethic (borne out of trying to prove his father wrong).

    GGG's decline could converge with Eubank's age which could see him win.

    However, I sill see GGG winning, for now anyway.

    Eubank has near elite movement, He's learnt to run around the ring really well, as good as anyone, he could become the goat runner if he keeps that **** up.

    Awful.

    Well, he'd be dumb not to at least have a go, as CEJ has probably climbed as high up the mountain domestically as he can and there aren't loads of international paydays to be found in his weight class (and none rivaling that of a GGG fight). He might view GGG as worth the risk for reward, especially with the perception of an assist from Father Time.

    Golovkin is about the dough. If he doesn't get the Canelo fight, I expect he'd take the Sky Sports money. It's a fight he absolutely should win and it'll come with a high reward, since you know this would be Sky Box Office PPV with a ton of hype behind it.
