Comments Thread For: Warren: Golovkin-Saunders Possible - If Billy Joe is Properly Paid

[El-blanco]

me either.....he has the talent but he hasnt faced the necessary competition or taken many risks....wont move up, wont fight anyone from below at a catchweight

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

How many times are you going to repeat the same fuckin thing? We get it.

Eggggggaxtly right

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.

Then why don't you put him on ignore?

Unless Warren gets like £5M offer he would never let BJS in there.

Then Saunders should just retire now shouldn't he

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.

You think that midget Khurtzide can beat him? He has a chance. If he doesn't blow his load early and Saunders fades in the second half, he got a chance. Even against Lee, he slowed down and they weren't doing anything that fight

BJS's stamina might be worse than Canelo's . 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.

EXACTLY!!! They could probably get the fight signed for even less. But Loeffler refuses to go above $1.5 million. GGG NEEDS this last belt. Then he can quit playing all their fees and then fight REAL fights. Saunders is probably going to lose this belt and GGG will have to wait ANOTHER 1-2 years to get THAT guy in the ring. Wasting good money on fees to fight BUMS!

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.
