Billy Joe Saunders to fight GGG?

[Eastcoast]

But remind me again, they had not entered the 30 days negotiation period then, had they? iirc they hadn't, but happy to be corrected..

Being 4 and half years old, I can't find specific details. I only see on ESPN & Fight news where they say it was ordered and the fight had to happen by Sept. 30th, and then the next month is when Sturm made the deal with Geale.

We'll just have to see how it plays out, I'm happy with either guy in December and the other in March.

[LacedUp]

He basically has too, he's already a laughing stock in the boxing world, it just depends whether he asks for silly money or totally ridiculous money.
Either way he'll be payed to hand over his belt and he knows it.

If BJS was paid was Brook was he'd have taken that fight last year 100%

[LacedUp]

BJS is a lighter puncher than Brook. Not P4P but actual force is way lighter, so he'd have to do a Khan job and run for his life imo.

But he does have a good chin.

[HeroBando]

I thought Jacobs then Saunders would be better if Saunders is fighting on the Fury undercard.

Unless they move him from that for the GGG fight in December.

GGG v Jacobs or Saunders next is aright.

If he does both fights in a row then he has basically cleaned out the division if he wins. Unless Canelo plans to fight him (which he doesn't), he'll have no reason not to move up by the early-mid part of 2017.

Saunders is a UK fight. Jacobs has to be ppv, but there's 3 major ppv in next 3 months so theyd set themselves up for failure.

At this pace Ggg is due to break the Mw defense record by September 2017. It actually puts extra pressure on Canelo to sack up by then, as promised

[R_Walken]

Want this fight to happen and it Probably will happen but not next and probably not in the next 3-4 months

Saunders is fighting Oct 30

Gennady wants to fight in December that's only a month and a half between

If it does probably sometime in April / May 2017 is probably when it does

But he does have a good chin.

That's irrelevant considering he gasses out EVERY fight after the 8th round, doesn't matter if he has a chris eubank snr esque chin then, he will be stopped easily.

That's if he even makes it to the 8th, which i doubt...

[Cinci Champ]

Hopefully that happens.

I either wanna see GGG vs Jacobs or GGG vs BJS next. Or at least Jacobs vs BJS or something with GGG vs Canelo vs Jacobs vs BJS before the end of the year.

It seems like we should be figuring out who the man is at 160 these days as the gap between the top guys & the rest of the field seems to be wide so its time for the top guys to fight & the next guys to build up their names to fight these main guys in 2018 & beyond.

ya too bad the 160 division is so weak

[deathofaclown]

Saunders in November or December makes more sense than Jacobs or Eubank Jr

Warren said in his IFL TV interview it wouldn't be this year. More likely February 2017.

Fighting Jacobs in December makes more sense as they both just fought on the same weekend. There's no reason for either fighter not to be ready for December.

That will be the story of the fight basically.

IF Saunders can last until the second half of the fight, he will probably be even more gassed than usual making it to that point and then it will be a matter of time before the inevitable. I don't see what Saunders has that can beat Golovkin. I really rate him as a boxer actually but the last thing you want against Golovkin is a stamina issue.

I can't really knock the fight though. It's a unification so it's fair enough.

[hugh grant]

I kind of feel GGG should fight bjs and eubank fight Jacobs.

But iuts back and forth bjs or Jacobs?
