2 belts he didnt fight for....the eye test and talent only get you so far...now its time he fights tougher comp.Comment

Too bad boxing fans are horrible fanboys or morons and would rather make a thousand excuses for Saunders and support him not fighting the best, rather than penalize his paychecks for not fighting Golovkin.Comment

BJS will probably **** around and lose to someone else for much less than $4M. He sc****d by Lee and Eubank, but I don't think he's good enough to avoid a loss against some top 20-30 MW. GGG should just face Eubank (or Groves/Murray winner) in the UK and test out his drawing power. At some point, the WBO belt will wind up in the hands of a fighter who isn't as cowardly as Saunders. Hell, one of the top LMWs could probably beat BJS.Last edited by kiaba360; 06-20-2016, 02:31 PM.Comment

. Khurtzdize fatigued against Douglas, but it was understandable given his volume. I think he's so short that his height might give Saunders problems. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I think the height difference is why Douglass had a hard time of keeping Khurt off of him.

That's still not the point, and businesses don't rely on just one transaction. Let's not forget, we're talking about the final belt to unify. What you're suggesting is what perhaps a cheap promoter would justify. It's ridiculous if you think the focus is on one particular fight. The road for Golovkin is 168. If he unifies all the belts, how do you think he comes in with negotiations at a new weight? 4 million perhaps K2 just doesn't have... or Loeffler is just scared and cheap to bet!
It's common to bet small when you're worried about winning.Comment

Put g string in Saunders place and put Ward in g strings spot and now who's horrible fanboys/morons and not fighting the best angle works too.Comment
