I think it's a win/win for CEJ in the sense if he takes the fight he's already going to go up in people's estimation. Unless he gets brutally knocked out after, say, three uncompetitive rounds, he's going to come out of the fight with his reputation untarnished and possibly enhanced. He's got the chin and the workrate to make a decent opponent for GGG but lacks the class and experience to provide an upset. Could even see senior retiring him somewhere after the middle rounds...
I hope this fight gets made....it has the ingredients for a great matchup....we need more names to come over here like ggg...especially after the haye farce at weekend
BS the only win for CEJ will be a win. Just a few tips for the uneducated: 1) If a short fat midget like Curtis Stevens can rock GGG's world with a slow as a snail midget punch, imagine what a big strong powerful snappy puncher like CEJ will do to him? 2) GGG always looks to be fatiguing when he goes past 5 or 6 rounds and thats fighting sand bags, no one he has faced has had the ***** or ability to throw back. Jr has the best engine in the business, and has power with a Granite chin. GGG's stamina is getting tested. to be continued.......
Utter ****e post. Besides BJS name me 1...that's Is all...1 world level fighter CEJ has fought? The fight will be a massacre.
Ok so... 1) Stevens is a known puncher but at no point was GGG rocked, that's totally inaccurate 2) Lol, CEJ went 12 once and now he has the best engine in the business? In any fight that GGG has been in which has gone past 6, he has still comfortably out landed his opponent in every single round.
Name 1 fighter that GGG has beaten that wouldn't lose to CEJ, BJS, Jacobs or Canelo or even Cotto for that matter? Martin Murray is his best win and they all beat him comfortably (especially super drained zombie Murray that went 11 with GGG). CEJ batters Murray worse than he battered Blackwell.
CEJ warms up after 6 rounds, GGG has never been 12 rounds. GGG is sweating his ring after 5 rounds fighting blokes that are too scared to punch back. Plus Ouma took plenty of rounds off him past 6 and so did Murray. George Groves knocked GGG down with a jab and Jr battered Degale sparring!!!
The Kassim O fight was the closest fight he's had, but as you're so well versed I'm sure you know the backstory (he had to spend a couple of nights in an airport due to some screw up. That's why it's the only fight where GGG has facial hair) and Murray didn't win a single round, be real. Scared to punch back haha, come on lad have a day off. Lemieux would ice Eubank Jr. More to the point, other than Saunders who he lost to, which world level fighters has CEJ fought? Sparring stories with no substance, brilliant.
