    Its a good fight, but I doubt Sr is gonna let him fight GGG until after he sees the result of Lee Saunders.

    Eubank is probably gonna fight a soft touch, maybe Fletcher seeing how he never seems to lose his ranking in the WBA.

    If Saunders beats Lee, and I got him a slight underdog in that fight, then you can rest assured that Eubank will be dropping that interim title and fighting for the WBO.

    When the dust settles on Eubank Saunders 2, should Eubank prevail, a trilogy is the next logical, and financially wise fight afterwards.

    No sense in Sr sending him out to pick up a L, even to GGG for a 500K payday, when he can make 200K fighting someone like Fletcher. :think

    Me personally, I'd like to see him meet BHop at 170.

    He shouldnt put any weight on for the fight, and simply come in at a natural 169-173.

    Something very comfortable that he won't have to boil down from should Oscar sacrfice Lemiuex this winter in lieu of GGG dropping his WBC interim title, or at least giving GBP the out on his 10%.

    I really believe GBP should go head and give GGG Lemiuex, simply to pacify GGG.

    It would earn Lemiuex about 800K, GGG about $2 mil, and it might even be PPV worthy with the right undercard.

    GGG then lets Oscar off the hook for his share of the 3 mil step-aside $$$, and then GGG has mandatories from 2 different ABCs, whilst he allows Canelo to build his name at MW vs the Heliands, Nelsons, and Macklins.

    Then, in the spring of 2017, we can have Canelo vs GGG for all the bells and whistles in a $40 mil PPV where Canelo gets 60%:think

    Remember when Foreman fought five guys in one night? Golovkin should try that. If he can't get a big name opponent to fight him, then how about a couple of lesser opponents on the same night?

    The Ward fight with GGG would be bigger than any except Cotto or Canelo.... GGG won't fight Ward though. Golovkins people are smarter than that.... Kovalev will take that ass-kickin from Andre....
