Comments Thread For: Saunders Admits Weight Issue, Needed 6 Months To Drop From 210

Side-effect of modern fighters only fighting once/twice a year. Unless you are super-motivated, it's only 8 weeks out of your whole year that brings in the cash. Easy to just drink and eat it up for the rest of the year.

How anyone can let themselves get like this though is beyond me. That's shocking. I'm not a pro boxer but I'd never let myself go like that. Imagine if tennis players only played a few times a year- Murray and Djokovic waddling round at 15 stone 2 months prior to Wimbledon.

Professional boxing has become a joke.

Saunders is a lazy fat ass bum

So why he staying at 160? Go to 168 fight James DeGale that big money in the UK

He's following the Golden Goose Gennady blueprint, avoid a legitimate challenge and hope he wins the Canelo pick me sweepstake.

Too bad for Gabe Rosado that he got stuck with willie Monroe instead of the expected match up with Saunders. He would've beaten yesterday's version of Saunders for sure.

Who is GGG avoiding?

and to think this guy is supposed to be the end all be all career defining win for ggg and his reason for not going up and taking risks at 168. just shows how pathetic the 160 pound division is

GGG wants the belt, the opponent doesnt matter.

Title of article: 'At least BJS was honest....'

BJS before the fight:

'..I've been training really hard for four months and now, as all can see, I'm in blinding shape; really fresh, really hungry again....'

BJS after the fight

'....a year out doing absolutely nothing, just losing weight for the last 6 months, then coming back and fighting....'

So at least one of those was honest.

(hang on, just realised what 'really hungry again' meant before the fight. Doh!)

Ggg or gtfo..

He wouldn't have lasted 2 rounds against GGG... Even Mack " dull knife" Macklin would have beaten him!

Who is GGG avoiding?

He avoided Eubank by getting Eubank Sr to argue with his own promoter so that his promoter dumped Eubank and called in Brook instead. Devious.

He avoided BJS by low-balling him with an offer of 3m (which BJS says was 1.5m) when BJS had a much more lucrative option in a leisure centre in Paisley.

He's avoided Jacobs by convincing Jacobs he needed longer to train for the fight - Jacobs would have been fine for Dec.

He avoided Cotto by convincing him to fight Canelo instead.

He's avoided Quillin because, well, wouldn't you ?

I think he avoided Heiland as he saw the movie Highlander and got the two confused.

About the most sensible answer you'll get about who he's avoided.

(unless you go the jump-weight route, then I guess its Ward)
