It doesn't matter what Saunders will do. I wouldn't care if he fought GGG next year. All eyes should be on Canelo and stay there. He won a MW title at a catch weight. He defended his title at a catch weight. Now, we have start putting pressure on other guys? C'mon. Saunders should defend his title once or twice before fighting GGG. But if he does fight GGG next, his stock will rise in my book.
Meanwhile, at the castle, Saunders getting quite mad:
Number five triple G can go and ****ing self I am ready to fight @GGGBoxing @frankwarren_tv make it happen US or England #LetsGo— billyjoesaunders (@bjsaunders_) May 19, 2016
First, can we clarify that Saunders holds the WBO title and not the IBF title. Second, there isn't any 33:1 underdog interim champion for GGG to when a title from within the WBO right now. GGG can't become a mandatory out of thin air.
Third, we can assume that Saunders asking price for that fight just raised considerably. Break out the checkbook K2!
Fourth, you can only expect a thread like this from a GGG fan. Did they make you wear a helmet on your bus ride to the Forum for the GGG fight?
I think this is the best bet for september now ... though Saunders has no reason to vacate. GGG needs a legit opponent now and the prize of undisputed champ is so big that it should be tempting for Saunders.
... Zurdo Ramirez just showed up into the picture, though...

He'll fight him as his leverage has now improved. GGG needs to fight somebody semi legit, whoever is remaining. So you may find BJS asking for an extra mill or so to get KTFO.
I hope bjs takes the fight. It's a win win. He'd be the underdog against the most feared fighter on the planet. The fight could be in the uk. It shows bjs has the balls to step up. He's a talented boxer with some pop. He'd be paid very well. If bjs gets the win he's an instant superstar
