Actually take part in the super 6, I have a feeling the Eubank Circus will spin into action and he won't actually take part in the actually competition. What are people's thoughts on this?
My prediction is semi finals before the Groves fight. However, reputation partially restored if he actually does go through with it.
Fact they picked arguably the hardest non seed Reminds of their proposed fight with GGG about wanting the best then running whilst blaming everyone else for fight not happening. CEJ won't beat either Groves or Smith if he takes part in tournament. If he does deserves big props though.
He just needs to win next week and start knocking down these quality opponents and prove to you he's the man. Abraham Yildirim Groves Smith by this time next year he will be top 5 p4p I'm not even going to debate it with you, but I can tell if he has a close fight you will all claim robbery. It always happens here, 1st you say their scared, then you say they will pull out, then it was a robbery.
He will win next week, he's fighting a natural middleweight like himself who is at the very end of his career (probably his last fight) and whose style imo is tailor made for a fighter who loves to sit in the pocket and let off a flurry of shots. I just don't get why he's stepped up to SM after achieving nothing yet at middleweight...GGG is getting older and with the introduction of Alvarez alongside Jacobs, BJS, Lemieux etc it's an exciting division and he's huge at that weight.
He is huge @ the weight, he can barely make the weight and will only go down to 160 if he gets a huge fight No point killing yourself otherwise, he still has a huge speed advantage @ 168 and he's not small by any means, probably above average. The reason he wanted the GGG fight so badly is because he knew he might not get the chance otherwise. I have seen the interviews where he says he's natural middleweight and can make it easy but that's the warriors code, why would he show a sign of weakness if he might still go down for a big fight?
I just think you've gotta find whatever advantage you can and whilst he's still young, he can boil himself down to fight at that weight and be a force. GGG isn't the only big fight at middleweight.
Jr is a big name in Britain but isn't known in the US, even Andre Ward isn't really known there though lol, they don't care about boxing!!! Arguably he could make just as much against the likes of Degale or Groves as anyone @ 160 If he gets a belt he can bring BJS up and @ 168 he will have a huge advantage He might still get some of those big fights @ 168 even GGG is talking about coming up Only really the Canelo fight to go down for atm, and if GGG beats him it isn't going to be as big any way. I think WBSS is as big as it gets for Jr, it is a huge platform and if he wins it will make him a huge star, even if he loses and puts on a show he can still come back. I don't think real fans care too much about L's its more about performance, if he shows a bit of bottle and goes down in an entertaining and close fight its not the end of the world. Getting slaughtered might hurt him a bit, but look @ Kell Brook against GGG, he got slaughtered and his stock rose!!!
I think if he beats up old man AA then he will fight in the tournament, he will fight in the quarter final and then pull out.
He wins this tournament and I expect he will, he would deserve the accolades which comes with it! He will have a solid CV, better than GGG's @ present and especially pre Jacobs (which he was already highly rated p4p) Don't throw it away when Jr cleans up either!
