    Jr could beat current belt holders at 168 and beat current world-class middleweights.
    GGG is not just a pressure fighter, he has the skills to pick Junior off and take him apart when he has to.

    GGG's jab alone would cause Eubank to stay away and fight at distance.

    How much interest will there be in Jr's next fight?

    The boxing fans have decided that Saturday night was more than enough evidence that he isn't in the elite, will they be able to drum up the same sort of interest from the casual fan next time?

    Junior will want to fight in the final if Groves pulls out, his second hope is that he gets a shot at Truax, third hope is one of the other champs offers him a fight.

    All hope and not real options.

    All look unlikely.

    I was talking about getting interest from the public though, there was a level of curiosity in the Groves fight as to how good Jr actually was which helped sell the fight.

    How many people will pay £18 to watch him in the final when they fully expect him to get beat?

    How many casual fans will be interested in him fighting Truax when they have no idea who he is?

    Is Junior tied to ITV and the PPV format? Or if he is knocked out he is free to do what he likes?

    Who said GGG is just a pressure fighter? He doesn't use his jab to keep fighters at bay, he uses it to initiate his own attack.

    Jr's strengths are up close where he can launch his combos/uppercut and use his strength/fitness. Monroe, Murray, Ouma, Brook, etc have all had success letting their hands go on the inside against Golovkin.

    Not saying Jr will win, but it would be a tremendous spectacle whilst it lasted, far more competitive than the weekend.
