    1) GGG isn't the british champ he's world champ and Tom is british level not world level
    2) CEJ vs Doran was a mismatch , he had to fight some one. I never claimed it to be a good name win (the perfomance was great though).

    GGG is at a much different stage of his career than CEJ, it should be obvious to any one, he is a lot older than CEJ as well.

    That doesn't mean CEJ can't win and obviously GGG starts as a huge favourite as he should be.

    CEJ is wide open at times and caught clean by solid shots every single fight bar maybe Blackwell. Only a matter of time before he gets kod in my opinion. Nobody's chin is that good, Golovkin will be the man to do it.

    say what you like CEJ is a 'live' opponent for GGG. He won't necessarily win but it will be entertaining and a war

    Yes, GGG has a fantastic chin, that's beyond doubt and part of what makes him such a tough opponent.

    1. Jr and Sr demand rematch with Saunders, gets offered Saunders, Saunders signs his contract send Jr his, and then the Eubank's walks away.

    2. Say he will beat Jacobs, wants Jacobs and then get to a position where he is mandatory and next then walks away again.

    3. Say he wants Golovkin, calls Golovkin out weekly, Hearn gets him Golovkin and now Sr is saying "if the fight don't happen blame Sky".

    Again I believe they are cutting a path with the "blame Sky" line and making early excuses and are going to walk away.

    So excuse a lot of us for being sceptical but the Eubank's have a history of saying that want things and walking away.

    I like Jr, was a big fan of Sr, went to a few of Sr's fights so I don't hate on Jr but I will praise him when he deserves it and criticise him when he deserves it.

    I will not just blindly follow anybody and believe every word they say and defend them when they make excuses that are complete cobblers.

    Yes exactly he is still fighting at British level, why hasn't he not stepped up yet?

    IMO, Eubank is tailor-made for GGG.

    I guess you are not a GGG fan then, good

    I'm not going to say I agree with the BJS fight not going ahead and that CEJ was in the right. I have no idea why the fight didn't happen and neither do you. Unless you were involved in signing the contract.

    You can claim CEJ wont sign the contract and you might be right. I'm 50/50 now I have some of the facts. However I am willing to give him a chance and I do believe he honestly thinks he can beat GGG regardless of whether he signs the contract.

    There are different routes to the top, Sr thinks this is the most beautiful route. You can call him crazy or an idiot and you might be right but he could be a genius as well.

    I hope this fight takes place, and I know deep down inside that you think CEJ could win. This is no Tyson vs Douglas and even if it was Douglas won!!!!

    I think CEJ has a 1/3 chance, I put Jacobs as 1/4 or 1/5 vs GGG and BJS 1/10.

    Well I don't think CEJ deserves to be the favourite, GGG is far more experienced, has the fundamentals and has dynamite in both hands.

    These factors alone make CEJ an under dog, I will be pulling for him 100% though.

    If I ever said GGG was getting destroyed it was just trolling those who give CEJ 0% chance but some actually believe that, they are worth trolling though and I think its funny riling them up.

    Put GGG on too high of a pedestal and he will get a bit of stick as he is not 100% proven yet and on resume alone is not p4p material.

    Hopefully free with my NZ skytv subs, otherwise I will have to find a stream. I doubt it will be PPV here as not many care about weight divisions below heavyweight here.

    Cleverly would bust groves up easily? You sure mate. Groves would beat him if he moved up
