Will the WBO strip Billy Joe Saunders?

[MasterPlan]

It took them over a year to finally strip Andrade. He's fine.

Don't get your hopes up. It took them 13 months to strip Andrade

Fair enough, but it seems like he's all but guaranteed that big fight that'll enhance his rep vs Canelo by the end of the year if he beats Rosado as expected. So it seems more like he's turning down Canelo then he's turning down Rosado to me.

Anyone know who the original choice was?

BJS is quickly becoming a farce.

No. But we do know it wasn't GGG, Monroe Jr, Jacobs, or Curtis Stevens cuz he turned all of them down too And I doubt it was Lemieux because if it were Lemieux he would've jumped at the opportunity to get that WBO belt and turn it into big money against Canelo.

So he's scared of everyone with a pulse, damn idk why they robbed lee i had it 115-111 for lee (9-3 for lee but saunders dropped him twice)

Yea but maybe GBP didn't want to setup that fight. I think thats a very winnable fight for BJS & I still think GBP will end up feeding Lemieux to Canelo sooner or later so the less dings in the loss column for Lemieux the better.

Regardless I think he seems like the most likely guy to have been BJS's first choice cuz its not like GBP is loaded at 160 with guys who are ready to fight BJS. Its either Lemieux or Johnson & Lemieux is for sure the more sexy name to have on your resume.

Strip this ****ing guy! Doesn't want to fight top fighters for big money, or gatekeepers to set up future fights. Looking at the WBO top 15 there's only one guy who I don't know and his name is Artur Akavov, so Saunders will probably end up fighting him smh

When you turn down Monroe Jr and Gabe Rosada on a canelo PPV you're basically saying you don't want to fight at all.

It's pathetic. Why would he be so scared of these dudes? He's already fought better opposition in Lee and Eubank. Doesn't make any sense to me.
