Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Eubank: Hearn Aims To Finalize Deal in 48-72 Hours

Lol so it favors GGG heavily to fight at the middleweight limit, are you serious? Are you really going to criticize the guy for fighting at the limit now?

Reading is fundamental. I said he isn't wrong for only wanting to fight at 160. Also who used heavily? I didn't.

Team Golovkin made the huge mistake of agreeing to step aside last November so that Canelo could fight Miguel Cotto. In hindsight, Golovkin should have stood up on his hind legs and insisted that he fight Cotto for the WBC title. Cotto would have then likely vacated the WBC belt straightaway to swerve the fight, and then Golovkin could have saved himself a lot of headache by not waiting and hoping for the Canelo fight.

Saunders, Jacobs, Eubank, Lemieux all fight at 160- which is the same weight GGG fights--- so there is zero problems in that regard.

Eubank has a deal with sky sports for 3 million pounds (4 million US) to fight GGG--- much more than Lemieux (1.5 Million US) earned to fight GGG, which was a career high purse for Lemieux too

So consider what Eubank is proposed to make against what Saunders was saying about fighting Golovkin. Seems like Saunders was right in wanting the fight to be in the UK and his purse to be much bigger than the 1.5 million dollars he was offered.

I couldn't agree more.

Seems like folks would rather Eubank back out and not fight so they can say he is scared than see him actually fight Golovkin. As time goes on facts continue to leak out indicating that it's not that NO ONE wants to fight Golovkin, it's that K2 has very stringent terms for a fight with Golovkin that favor him heavily when it comes to weight and K2 when it comes to finances.

That is a literal quote from your first post on this thread. Reading is fundamental

So disappointing. From Canelo, the fight that should be happening, to a British champion. I mean, you can't blame Golovkin, because other then Canelo, the best thing you could do is unify and Billy Joe Saunders was not possible because, well, he literally said he would not fight GGG.

Danny Jacobs: the other titlist, same thing, not possible. He said too he was not ready. Then the only other option other then unification (to get a "good" fight in other then Canelo) was to move up to 168, and Ward is tied up with Kovalev obviously, so somebody like Ramirez would of been ideal. But I guess since they want to stay at middleweight with the Canelo fight a couple fights away, Eubank is another good "stay busy fight"

I would rather have Ramirez at 168 for Golovkin, then even any of the middleweight titlists. But this is all on Canelo, that fight should of been happening next

Wrong my friend he has now spoke on wanting the fight but I question if he is serious he may be then if they make him a Mandatory he will face him in May which makes sense cause he does have the tools to give a good fight this would definitely be a interesting match up wonder if it's PPV savvy //******.craveonline.com/news/426871-danny-jacobs-wants-to-face-gennady-golovkin-for-my-legacy

You still whining. 1. I'm not criticizing BJS. I'm criticizing Eubank, who has not, in fact beaten a world level caliber fighter. Dont bait and switch. I would be fine with a Golovkin vs BJS fight. The guy has a world title and hes at least proven on the world stage which is what i just said. Eubank, on the other hand is not. Dont jumble the facts to suit your agenda.

As far as Daniel Jacobs is concerned, hes fought better opposition than Eubank and he's at least equal with BJS in resume. I would accept that fight as well. And i have already mentioned fights I think would be better so instead of whining like an incessant girl I suggest you look through my post history and and shut up.

Are we done here?

Billy Joe Saunders is world level to me because he has done nothing it's not like he knocked Eubank out yes he caught Lee but doesn't want Golovkin next he has be talking this fight up for a good min I know he suffered a hand injury or whatever but he still would be ready for a September fight date with Golovkin and im like what's the problem

UFC's biggest star last fought a guy who isn't a contender at any weight class and lost to him. Now, he's rematching the same gatekeeper instead of defending his belt, which he may never again defend if Frankie Edgar is his opponent.

At welter, even top 5 guys are drawing attention to the fact that Maia has been skipped over for a title shot and there's two guys that have been placed in line in front of him.

At MW, Bisping might get his wish and line-up an Hendo fight, instead of several guys who are clearly more deserving.

Hate Canelo all you like but the UFC claim you made is pure BS. They do the same shyt over there too but since there aren't multiple promoters calling each other out, the UFC can conveniently hide their inconsistencies.

Just imagine if we never saw Conor-Aldo because they wanted to hype the fight more. That wouldn't happen and the UFC has had big draws like Ronda, Conor, Brock, Liddell, Jon Jones and Anderson Silva. The reason new stars can grow is because they take on bigger competition with each fight. And when they lose the opponent grows too.

Aldo was a nobody before Conor and so if Dos Anjos who is fighting on a Fight Night. Boxing would never let a guy like Dos Anjos near Conor if they controlled promotion. The truth is that Boxing lets guys build their records with low class fighters and UFC does not. That is why the UFC puts little emphasis on guy's records unlike Boxing, where the record is all you got.

Personally, on the Edgar case, I think Conor realized he can't make 145 anymore and thats why he is stalling with that division.

That was hard for them to do that Canelo was too big of an opportunity.

not to mention there were 800,000 reasons for GGG to accept the step-aside deal.......
