    I couldn't agree more. CEJ has beaten no one of note and he lost to Saunders. He's nothing special and fits right in line with the rest of GGG's resume.

    So who should GGG be fighting instead of Eubank Jr so that it could be considered a step up?

    Jacobs? Canelo? Saunders? Who?

    Do you think CEJ is the fight he went looking for?

    Why do you think we are seeing this matchup?

    Who has Saunders beaten? If GGG were to fight Saunders instead of Eubank you would be saying the same thing about Saunders because who has Saunders really beaten if Eubank is a nobody?

    You're right neither guy is anything special. No one at 160 is anything special.
     
  7. Anyone special at 168?

    At least at 168 he would be fighting guys that are bigger than the trash he's been fighting at 160. DeGale for starters is much better than anyone GGG has ever fought and would get respect if he fought him.

    Still not much better than CEJ though? CEJ did batter Degale in sparring?

    Sparring is irrelevant In an actual boxing match Degale would terrorize CEJ.:deal

    GGG has to face Ward vs Kovalev winner to gain any extra respect, thats what a real p4p champ would do

    And the Groves DeGale lost to would savage CEJ. With that said DeGale is a better fighter than CEJ.

    Groves is improved now and can barely beat Murray lol

    Groves said himself it was his best ever performance?

    Hell no Groves is half the fighter he once was Froch took something out of him. Saint Groves has never looked the same since.
