Billy Joe is the best middleweight right now.

He isn't even close to being the best. If he really was the best he would not need to defend his title exclusively against guys GGG had already knocked out. GGG, Canelo, Jacobs and Jermall all beat him if he ever fights any of them. Who is next for Saunders after he beats Murray? Vanes,maybe?

Because he outclassed Lemiuex?? LOL!! I think Jacobs, GGG, are both higher ranked than Saunders at the moment. Let's see Saunders beat someone in the top 5 and then we can start having this discussion.

If this GGG Canelo fight falls through, he's damn sure the luckiest. Dude is about to get PAID.

He's a top player, he looked real good against lemuix. He took the belt from Andy Lee and never fought anybody notable. He's fighting Martin Murray next, let's see how well he does.

Some nights he looks great. Other nights very ordinary. BJS is too inconsistent to rate as the top middleweight. I'd go with Golovkin, Canelo and Charlo over him. Derevy might be too green to beat Saunders.

I'd make Deverenchenko favorite against him and murata has a good chance of beating him too, out of those names i'd actually slightly favour BJS V Canelo though, with fair judges of course, i think it would be the lara fight all over again. Yeah forgot about Deverenchenko. Murata is a hard one to favor imo (coming from a Murata fan). BJ is slick enough to dodge his punches and land his when Murata does his turtle shell. BJ has a better chin than N'Dam. Yeah you can compare BJ-Canelo to the Lara fight cos they are similar stylistically but Canelo might be the hardest puncher BJ will face.

Golovkin, Canelo, Jermall and Jacobs all beat him. Even Sulecki can too. Golovkin is no Lemieux. He will walk through BJ punchers and land his.

He's bang average and he's clinging onto that belt for dear life. Nothing impressive about him other than his ability to avoid any good fighters while claiming they're all avoiding him. Classic gypsy con-man.

he's a talented boxer, but that statement is kinda ridiculous, you should probably watch him go life and death & get a gift decision over random bum artur akov: (i had him losing)

He is a top three middleweight IMO.

You forgot to add "In my opinion" to your title.

Saunders isn't beating GGG, Canelo, Jacobs or Charlo. His relevance is his WBO belt and running through Golovkin's 2015 greatest hits.

Nobody said this before the Lemieux fight and it still isn't true. He scraped by Eubank Jr who was completely embarrassed by Groves. Watch him against Akakov or Willie Monroe and see if you feel the same way...
