I think that's an intriguing fight actually. GGG HAS never fought a fighter with the athleticism of CEJ. I would give him a good shot.
Let's not get it twisted. Eubank Jr stopped the undefeated highly touted Fedor Chudinov in the later rounds. Very impressive.
Obviously GGG would be favored, 5-1 or 7-1 whatever. But Eubank Jr would be Golovkins best opponent. He has the chin, skill, and athleticism. Fight could go the distance. Let's see it!
People have gone against this kid time and time again and have been proven wrong. When will they learn!:think I think Eubanks has earned his shot, so why not. He would be the best name on his resume thus far imo.
No chance. I was just watching some Eubanks fights on YouTube. He does nothing spectacular. Good fundamentals I guess. His defense has a lot of wholes as well. Easy work
Problem I have with this fight, ATM, is that I LIKE Eubank Jr, and while a KO loss to Golovkin is nothing to be ashamed of, it could be Geale/Macklin like from which he doesn't recover mentally or physically. :--(
Chances of beating GGG (imo): Danny Jacobs - 30% Billy Joe Saunders - 30% Erislandy Lara - 12% Canelo Alvarez - 10% Miguel Cotto - 3% Chris Eubank Jr. - 0%
What are the odds Golovkin gets food poisoning prior to a fight? 1%????? What about breaking an ankle turning his hip into a punch? 1% Being shot by a sniper in audience? 1% That said.....each has about a 3% chance of beating GGG.deal:deal
