    100% agree, CEJ is on par skill wise with some of the other contenders GGG already faced.

    I stopped taking Ring seriously 4 years ago now.

    I seem to think they have an agenda with rankings.

    In 3 years he is a fighter that we could say is top 5 middleweight or a fighter that is ranked 20th. I think the skills are there but he doesn't have the track record.

    Frankly, it's about as dangerous of a fight that ggg can realistically make at middleweight right now. The other top guys are unavailable for different reasons. Its certainly not a fight he should be criticized for making.

    BJS, Saunders and Andrade have all called for the fight. This deserves criticism.

    Eubank is a top 10 Middleweight on the rise.

    It's more of the same- either you appreciate that he routinely takes out top 10 guys regardless of style, or you don't. I happen to be one who does.

    I'll be looking forward to it.

    BJS doesn't want the fight right now and isn't any more dangerous than Eubanks.
    Andrade - get serious. No way his people move him to 160 and make ggg his first fight.

    It is a lateral move in terms of talent/ability and a step in terms of global exposure. This is in fact why team GGG wants this fight. It has nothing to do with Eunich Jr's fighting and everytthing to do with his passport/citizenship.

    I don't need to get serious. Saunders, Lara and Andrade have called him out. If he fights Chris, it's a duck.
