Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders: I'll Do My Two Mandatories, Then a Big Fight

[Ake-Dawg]

Unifying the titles means a lot, it means yes acomplishing something quite hard in the modern era, something only a few have done.

On the path he'll also break B-hops title defense record. Likely set the KO streak at MW too.

This is the similar to the path B-hop himself took. He didn't move up until he was 40+. GGG is avoided and has to find ways to get noticed. So far that's been by beating guys willing to fight, and winning titles.

You may think it's unimportant, but every time he makes a move like that the media covers it, that's more exposure.

I get you don't understand how that works, because there is hardily any nuance to your arguements. But it's absolutely true.

It's also true when Sanchez says things to purposely piss ggg haters off it draws even more attention towards him. Fans adoration isn't the only thing that sells a fight, so does a deep desire to see someone lose. Floyd showed people how true this was.

The defense record and having more belts will NOT make Trip more popular. Sure boxing media will cover it but that does not increase his exposure. He has to fight someone with a casual fan base. Why do you think Froch and Chavez are in the picture. No one is tuning in to see if Trip will lose to a can. They will tune in for a fight against a proven winner.

Riddle me this....Trip has 3 of the 4 belts...how is having one more belt which hardly carries any respect going to change things?

Reality check for Saunders, better get in the line of fighters waiting for Golvokin to get old. Back to back mandatories, for f***s sake. Hopefully the Golovkin fight happens late 2017, Saunders is better than that.

thing is i dont think peope should assume he means golovkin or canelo when he says 'big fight', its more likely to be a eubank rematch

If BJS doesnt get serious and doesnt work hard, Avtandil Khurtsidze'll beat him. He must pray that he didnt fight against Khurtsidze last night.

Typical loudmouth/fraudulent British clown. I see why he never wanted the GGG or Jacobs fights.

Frank Warren's business strategy has not changed over the years and simply involves having one of his fighters keeping a WBO belt hostage

He is marketed as a world champion and makes defences against a succession of nobodies in ****ty little venues around the UK.

It's nickel and dime stuff but a tried and tested formula

BJS is simply the latest in the Warren production line

It should be obvious to anyone that the reason Saunders ended up with the fake injury seven months ago is because he was undisciplined, overweight and out-of-shape. Now, he is saying he is going to fight two mandatories before looking for a major fight because he needs more time to get into fighting shape. This clown has talked a lot of s...t over the last year about Golovkin, knowing all along that he has no intention of fighting Golovkin this year and probably not next year.

Good point! Frank Warren's idea of a big fight is everyone else's idea of a C-level fighter.

Saunders is such a bytch..

As soon as ggg n canelo sign for fights this bytch will be calling them out..

"I'm not that good, I have no professionalism since I let myself go to 210 lbs when mw division is stacked for big fights, just going to milk these titles since I'm a shyt bag that can't stay in shape""

Dude is ****ing pathetic

[Humean]

Khurtsidze could really derail Saunders' chances of a big payday should he be his first mandatory. Time for Warren to get his old mate Paco to make Tommy Langford the first mandatory challenger.
