Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Saunders a No Go, Billy Joe To Have Huge Summer Bout

[MisanthropicNY]

Sucks a bit, but I can't really blame Saunders.. he's good and could make a few £ with domestic fights, might even get a shot at Canelo but he ain't ready for GGG and I doubt he ever will be.

Saunders can make 155? Really?

Touche. I'd bet he'd be willing to drain a coupla lbs for the Canelo payday though. Hell, I'd even give him an OK shot at beating Nelo on neutral ground.

What a coward. Throws away over 3 million because he is scared to fight the best guy. So he is going to fight some bum in April where he makes 300k and then that "megafight" is going to be Eubank Jr. 2? Thats just pathetic.

I will be cheering for Eubank to defeat Saunders and Saunders should never ever get a payday again.

Saunders ducking GGG. Next he will join Roc Nation and start fighting Applebees waiters while calling himself the best and making up silly names for GGG in desperation to hide his fear.

which is exactly what alvared is doing

[NEETzsche]

i seriously doubt he's going to get $2.5m against anyone other than GGG

Shock. Amazement. Stunned. Astonished.

Yeah I'd say he could and would benefit from it..He's always soft at 160 and tbh isn't in great shape for an Elite fighter which speaks to his talent if nothing else. I'd say it's impossible to argue that Billy is the most skilled MW around rivaled only by Canelo(when he finally moves up), now am I saying he will beat GGG? No, although I think given another fight or two and those being the right fights(ideally he would switch trainer to someone like Freddie Roach to fix his punching) he could do it handily.

Also he is only 26 and unless you count Emanuele Blandamura or Eubank Jr as top fighters then the Lee fight was his first real step up in class so hard to really hate him for not wanting to rush into anything. Also if I was him I'd want Cotto, Canelo and then GGG.

Eubank jr vs saunders 2

[-PBP-]

On one hand Billy Hoe clearly wants nothing to do with GGG. On the other hand who cares? If the fight were to ever happen he will take a dive based on his comments. He already admitted defeat.

Too much emphasis on these watered down belts.

Hm, outside of Golovkin only the Eubank Jr rematch is 'huge' - that's a massive fight in Britain. First one did 20k tickets, the rematch does at least double. But in his most recent interview, Warren was talking down the Eubank fight and saying he'll never do business with Eubank Snr again. Hmm.
