Comments Thread For: Rosado Shakes Head, Tears Apart Saunders For Walking Away

He's always complaining about something, if it isn't the system, its GGG's gloves. Go get another tattoo and put on your sunglasses at night and take a good crap for yourself, everyone is sick of seeing you already anyway.

I swear it seems like Billy Joe is holding the WBO belt hostage lol

Fans were upset when Rosado was selected to be the opponent for BJS and now fans are mad that BJS isn't fighting him???

Rosado was selected b/c he's a GB fighter who won't jeopardize a Canelo/Saunders fight - he's not a threat to beat Saunders. I wasn't looking forward to Rosado/Saunders, Rosado's washed up and I'd rather see Sulecki or Akavov. Let Gabe fight Tureano Johnson to build up TJ's career.

People need to read this and learn something. He's been f'd up everytime I've seen him, always getting battered from pillar to post.

I don't know the way he screwed over Golden Boy and backed out at the last minute I could see Golden Boy telling Billy Hoe to kick rocks and just find Canelo another fight. Canelo can really fight whoever he wants he don't need Billy Hoe. He could rematch Cotto, fight any of the guys at 154, fight the winner of Lemiuex/Stevens, ect. Saunders is not in position to demand crazy money especially after this stunt.

Canelo wants to move up to 160 and he wants a belt to give himself more credibility there and BJS is seen as a lot easier option than Golovkin.

Billy knows he's going to have both Alvarez & Golovkin & maybe Eubank & Jacobs all bidding against one another for his title. If Golovkin/Brook does big money, that'll make Golovkin's bid competitive with Alvarez's, maybe even greater? Eubank could still be a big stadium fight as well. At anyrate, there's no real need for Saunders to settle for the current 2-fight deal on the table with GB.

Rosado was nothing more than an early down-payment for the Canelo fight.

Billy has been holding out all year long thinking he has leverage to extract a big payday from GGG, Jacobs, and Canelo...yet nobody is over bidding and that bum is now scrambling just to fight any joe schmo by Sept before he get's stripped for not fighting in almost a year. I'll say it again Canelo don't need Billy. He's got tons of options for fights he's the big fish everybody wants not the other way around. Billy played this all wrong and wasted almost a full year in his prime turning down fights left and right because he over valued his situation squandering any momentum he got from the Lee fight. It's just ****** to think he is calling any shots against Canelo the biggest draw in boxing right now. If he is being difficult to work with they will simply move on to someone else. And who says Canelo needs a belt at 160 to fight GGG? If he has one great but if not it will still be a mega fight and fans will all tune in just the same.

Saunders fought in December, then was scheduled to fight in April. He tried to make a fight with N'Dam, but HNN wouldn't give up his March fight with Mendy, so he settled on Bursak. He then injured his hand in training and was not allowed to return to training until late July, now he'll be fighting in September no matter what.

I hated see a new champion sit out so long, but it wasn't his fault.


Canelo obviously doesn't need a belt for GGG, but he obviously wants one. He certainly could've fought a more marketable opponent than Liam Smith. He could be rematching Cotto right now instead of Smith. But he wants that belt. And having BJS on the undercard and saying he wants to fight BJS in December shows he wants that belt too.

Yeah he wants a belt... AT 154 that's why he chose Smith. Once he has that to regain champion status why does he want or need another belt at 160? All the belts would basically be on the line anyway if and when he fights GGG. And yeah Billy Hoe is fighting in Sept no matter what but now it will be against a cab driver overseas in a fight nobody gives a **** azz about instead of a fight on a much bigger stage that give him far more exposure. And there is now no guarantee he fights Canelo next let alone GGG or Jacobs. He had a deal in place that if he fought on the PPV undercard he was GUARANTEED to get canelo. He could of fought GGG, Jacobs, ect earlier this year but priced himself out. And may of just shot himself in the foot with a Canelo lottery ticket.

If Billy Hoe is being difficult to work with then Canelo will move on to someone else and not lose any sleep over it. Billy can keep collecting dust overseas while all the top fighters move on from that paper champ bum until he get's stripped.

long article for sure..too long.
Billy Hoe saunders is ducking everybody even Rosado. I think rosado would get him. I would luv to see rosado given a chance against "can-yello".
Look at GGG's face after the Rosado fight. nobody has done that to GGG.

[JUNIABOY]

Just watch. BJS will be fighting someone in September who is worse-rated than Rosado. Mark my words. He turned down a fight which would put him in direct line to fight Canelo next...& he did that 3 times already! The guy is a joke. He says he wants the big payday. But he seems to be doing everything he can to not get paid. What is his team doing?! Does he even understand that in order to make money he needs to get in the ring?!

I think although Rosado seems to be punching bag in the ring, he's got the stones to get in there with anybody. He's a tough dude. Rosado's face looked like a raw piece of meat when GGG got through with him. Rosado was game though and his corner had to "stop GGG from killing him" (this a direct quote from Rosado's trainer).
