Watched few videos with Hearn addressing this fight. He says both Eubanks are pressing him hard to make the fight, to the point of obsession. Hearn admitted that Jr. isn't quite ready for Golovkin but will happily oblige. The way he's talking about it, I am starting to believe it. Or he is bluffing extremely hard. According to the Brits, this would be a solid PPV fight in the UK.
I'd love him to fight Eubank. That would be great. Mandatories are part of boxing. There's nothing you can do. He's committed himself to the MW division in order to try obtain all of the MW belts. Unfortunately, he will have to face another mandatory soon.
This is a good post, but there will be cans mixed in. Even if everyone was willing to fight him, he couldn't just fight Canelo, Eubank, Jacobs and Saunders. It's totally unrealistic.
He'd knock out all 4 of them within 12 months. There is absolutely nothing for him, challenge wise, in the MW division. He needs to go to 168 after he gets the WBO belt, and that's only if he can get it reasonably quick. He's running out of time.
GGG has never fought anyone that can challenge him, because he won't accept his Voluntary defenses. So I think you're severely over rating him.
Lara, Canelo, BJS, Jacobs, Eubanks, Lee, those are experienced guys that have been in with Quality opposition, I'm sure GGG will be granted Voluntary defenses so he needs to make it a point to pursue those fights and see what comes of it. " He Who Is Not Courageous Enough To Take Risks, Will Accomplish Nothing In Life!" -Muhammad Ali We're still waiting...
I'd love to see all of those fights. Yes, if he beats them, I think he has to move up to SMW. And I'm sure he'd do that.
Christ, here we go with Lara again. I asked about MW. Last time I checked he last fought at 154. You admitted in another thread that Lara couldn't beat Golovkin. You wanted to see the fight because "Lara could make him look bad." Repeat, you want Golovkin to fight him because "Lara could make him look bad." What. The. Fark. Are you talking about??? Golovkin should fight a massive underdog, for no money, from a lower weight division, with the hope that he makes him look bad? No, this isn't obviously what you want because deep down you know Lara would get pasted to the canvas. What you really are after is a perpetual excuse, that you can hold on to, to be able criticize Golovkin. And the excuse will never evaporate because Lara-GGG will never happen. God, you are such a hater.
