    He still beat bjs, there's no way he lost every single round 1-6, no f'ing way. If they rematch (bjs refused) cej ends it before 9.

    I believe the only mw OR smw that would have a legitimate chance of beating cej RIGHT NOW is canelo. Cej beats the rest stopping many of them.

    Imho, cej is the single most under rated fighter of today

    you get drawn into the snapchat sparring videos and the poor opposition he has fought into thinking he's this machine who can beat anyone. Yes he is a decent fighter and he looks really good against guys that are not throwing anything back (abraham, quinlan, Tom Doran and Nick blackwell) - but he doesnt knock any of these guys out with 1 punch, he wins fights by unloading a high volume of good shots, but against a good boxer who throws shots back and doesn't let him land uppercuts when he wants then he wont be able to win in the way he has been winning, especially at SMW. And thats exactly what happend against BJS, he wasn't able to just use the opponent as a punch bag like he did with abraham and quinlan etc.

    agreed it was 5-1, eubank winning the 6th. but it was CEJ who refused not CEJ, no idea where you got that from. the rest is just pure nonsense

    Ward landed illegal low blows.
    Joshua's comp shits all over Wilders.
    Joshua has more of a claim as the hbw champion of the world over Wilder and Parker.

    Loma should forget about Salido.
    Canelo didn't duck GG.
    Saunders can fight.
    Usyk will be the hvw champion of the world.

    most of the fighters you mentioned are only known by non casuals. and why does aj not have a better claim as heavyweight champion? his resume is better than wilder and parkers and he's had less fights?

    Not sure if you're posting what casuals say or whether you're actually posting what you believe to be the truth. Either way i agree with everything you said about Ward, Joshua, and Wilder. You seem to know your stuff in that department because Ward won his last fight off illegal low blows, Wilder is a chump, and Joshua shits all over Wilder and Parker.

    Eubank went into that fight coming from club level on undercards while Billy was already head lining cards at Euro level.
    Fighters need to work up to a big stage like that as the pressure was far greater than anything he was ever used to.
    Eubank was clearly shellshocked for the first 6 rounds and unsure of his ability to perform over the 12.
    They weren't on the same level when they fought and green underdeveloped Eubank still ran Billy close in a fight that could have went either way.
    If they fought now it wouldn't be close.

    The same thing happened when green Garcia fought Morales on his first time on the big stage. He edged a close fight but came back in the rematch more confidant and destroyed Morales.

    Abe wan't able to throw anything back because he simply couldn't . Every time he opened up he got his head rocked back.
    The worst point of the fight for him came immediately after he landed his best shot on Eubank

    Eubank didn't duck GGG . GGG ducked Eubank..

    Only duckers seek out fights with guys from two divisions bellow.
