    No need for every bit of evidence, CEJ openly admitted that he didn't like the terms that Brook signed to fight GGG for. Dino is a moron.

    I think he's more talented than that, probably more talented than Chavez jr too but has no intention of using it.

    CEJ fought Thomas Doran a week before he got shafted, a fight of that magnitude can take more than 7 days to negotiate.

    Some of the issues that have been brought to light since have been minor and certainly not deal breakers.

    If it wasn't for Brook hijacking the fight then we would have seen it.

    Who actually wanted to see Brook vs GGG, that was the mismatch of the century.

    Brook landed everything but the kitchen sink and didn't scratch GGG, imagine if CEJ had been throwing GGG would be in serious danger.

    Renold Quinlan would despatch Brook inside 2 rounds and he's supposed to be a bum!!!!!

    His career looked to slowly going in the right direction when he fought Chudinov, Spike and then Blackwell. These are the fights he should have had leading up to Saunders really. And then he's stepped back down by fighting Tom ****ing Doran and now Quinlan who is not good at all. Has anyone seen the Geale KO by the way? It's literally a shove, really bizarre.

    Anyway, I can't take him or his father seriously. All these IFL interviews mentioning big names (I believe he also beats Andre Ward according to Sr in his latest interview) and we end up with this utter dross. CEJ is a fun fighter to watch and could potentially prove to be a very good fighter but it's the same thing over and over again. He's had too many fights fall through for it to be anyone else's blame.

    As for the GGG needing UK exposure, I actually think he's just as if not more well known in the UK than CEJ. Brook-CEJ wouldn't have sold anywhere near as well as GGG-Brook imo, not that that sham of a fight should have happened anyway

    Why are you acting as if Eubank didn't have a known deadline to finalize and accept the fight, in which they let come and pass. Why are you also implying its G that needs to find the pen against CEJ. Eubanks own promoter, knowing it was a good offer, offered the exact same deal to a bigger name and an actual world champion, and it was happily accepted.

    Shove, yeah right
    A shove doesn't make a man look like a drunken sailor trying to do the worm!!!

    It was a solid 1, 2, 3 combination.

    GGG a bigger name than CEJ in the UK?
    Not likely even grannies no who CEJ is, the guy is a household name and was even on a reality TV show as a kid.

    Brook vs CEJ would be epic, so many tears would be shed and everyone here would give CEJ grief for picking on a defenceless welterweight.

    When GGG bashed him they were praising GGG for fighting a threat the same size as him!!!! Ffs GGG is the same size as CEJ, both are natural 168lbers that have to live the life to make 160. Andre Ward is about the same size too to be fair, he has just eaten his way to 175.

    Ward is clearly not a hair taller than 6ft, CEJ is about 5ft11.5 and GGG is 5ft11.

    Lmao at Brook 'hyjacking' it.

    Eubank didn't accept the terms by the known deadline. So the same deal was offered to Brook. Someone with more clout and leverage than Eubank has... and it was happily agreed to.
