Would you say Eubank fighting Golovkin is a bigger risk than what was perceived for Fury facing Klitschko?
I personally would say yes, I think there is a bigger gap between eubank and ggg than there was between fury and clit
and I think I would have said that before the fury clit fight, it might just be hindsight talking tho
Yes, I probably think it is.Quote:

Do you not remember the absolute shit I got when I said Fury would beat Klitschko? He was rubbish, had a weak chin, couldnt punch, not fit, was going to get wiped out in a round, fighting the great Klitschko etc etc. There were very few that thouht Fury would get out of the first round let alone win.
On the other hand, id say its very close opinion wise on who thinks who will win with Eubank v Golovkin.
My point is its not a big stretch that Eubank could win.
whos backing eubank?
More people here backed Fury than will Eubank.Quote:

Add to that the Warren/Hearn thing and the fight would never happen.Quote:

and this is all Team Saunders Fault. It's not enough becoming a World Champ, people like Brook, Saunders need to keep active and need to fight and beat respectable opponents, then the money will come rolling in.
with regards to Ross's comparison to Fury/Klit, it's a very good question. when you say "risk" it depends what you mean. If Eubank lost, he can come back from that and can still earn good money (if his Dad stops being a twat!).
If Fury had lost, it wouldn't surprise me if he found it difficult to get back up there, a. because the authorities and money men in sport would make it difficult for him and b. because of his own mental state. he might've gone off the rails or just said "Fuck it, I can't be bothered with this Shite."
If you mean who would have the better chance, it's strange because the bookies have Eubank longer odds than they had Fury, although if I were to be perfectly honest, I would say Eubank has a better chance than Fury did.
That doesn't mean I think he has much of a chance, because I don't . It just means that I really really thought Fury had absolutely Zero chance.
there's honesty for you.

Somebody else backed him (Ross will remember who it was) and Brock did.
I backed him in the saddo league and poll, there was no bandwagon for me to jump on. :)Quote:

Gennady Golovkin v Chris Eubank Jr deal close - promoter
Middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin is closing in on a deal to fight Britain's Chris Eubank Jr, his promoter says.
Tom Loeffler told the Associated Press that both camps were "working on finalising details".
The fight would take place in England in September, he added.
WBC, WBA and IBF champion Golovkin, 34, has won all of his 35 fights while Brighton's Eubank Jr, 26, has lost just one of his 24 fights.
He successfully defended his British middleweight title for the first time last week, with a fourth-round stoppage of the previously unbeaten Tom Doran.
