    To be fair to Spike, he has improved since he fought Eubank before, his handspeed has noticeably increased imo.

    If Saunders beats Murray convincingly as he should no disrespect MM great campaigner but the end is near.. Then Saunders is probably ready for a fighter of the level of GGG, we often criticize this type of things but I think he's been matched really well for the most part. Spike, Ryder, Eubank Jnr all credible wins on the way to world level. Good win over Andy Lee and then another credible win over Monroe. Then really showing his class against Lemieux away from home. He's fought all manner of fighters: real one shot punchers, or pressure fighters and a few lefties.

    GGG is showing some signs he's not unbeatable. He was worried by Alvarez's hand speed so he would be bothered by Bills which could stop him throwing 3 and 4 and maybe even body shots which he would probably need with Bjs speed of hand and foot and if that volume dies down then Billy has a chance. Ud think it might need to be a schooling for him to get the decision though.

    Could the Lemieux fight be a one-off? of that performance, u would hope not

    As for Eubank. He needs to go back down to 160. Learn how to jab and get that elbow sorted, he cant throw a straight right hand. He hasn't got time on his side now. If he plots a decent route he might get another world title shot especially if a brit holds a belt but at the minute he's in no man's lands. A fight v GGG would end in a huge KO. Getting off balance VS GGG isnt recommended.

    Not often I disagree with you 20 but Groves lasted two rounds sparring with GGG and left with broken ribs and when asked soon after about fighting him at 268 ib didn't look keen.

    If I was GGG and I fought and best Saunders, no given by any means I would be after winner of WBSS super middleweights then retire. I honesrly think stylewise Callum Smith is only SMW who would have a decent chance against him.

    Martin Murray said Groves single backhand is harder than any GGG punch but every other shot GGG obviously hits harder with as every punch hurts. Best time for GGG to fight top SMWs as division has never been this weak imo.

    Eubank JR is back on the heavy bag, he managed 290 unanswered punches on it yesterday in 2 minutes.

    He got lots of likes on Instagram for his workout video too, showing what a star he is.

    I think he might be ready for GGG....






    Ready for a statue of GGG.

    Grading spike as a B level fighter depends on the system you use for grading. I would grade spike a D level fighter or C-. GGG is only one of two fighters i grade an A. The other one been loma. The system i use is for grading skills only and does not really score much for other qualitys and does not take into consideration areas known as intangables, the things that are hard to quantify.

    I used to think it was a pure marketing charade with cej. He can't be that much of a cockle?

    But it seems he is .

    I would love to see him in with ggg. He will pound some humility into him

    And still no sign of Bulldog24.
    Strange that he hasn't been seen since Groves handled him.

    Eubank has been humbled, after the beating from Groves I don't suppose he fancies taking another one from GGG.
