Comments Thread For: Saunders: Need Another Fight Before Golovkin, Other Top Foe

It will definitely be Tommy Langford. Imagine Langford getting a world title shot before eubank jr. The world's gone mad.

And Eubanks would have no one to blame but himself,, he's already turned down what 3 world title opportunities

Agree. Don't forget GGG was practically on the plane to the UK for Eubank before Eubank senior pulled the plug on it with his crazy last-second demands to take over the promotion. Good for Brook to step up so that a fight actually happened, but lets not forget who was responsible for that - Eubank Sr. Then Eubank Jr tweets to Brook 'our side don't have towels' after the fight (that he was supposed to be in).

Our 'Enery will be turning in his grave (that's Henry Cooper to the non brits).

100% agree GGG & Eubank would have been a great scrap but his old man lost the plot. The nerve his team had after the fight was de****able I have no interest in watching that git while his old man is wiping his ass.

What a pu ssy

On what grounds?

[robertzimmerman]

Same ole, same ole

Fighter calls out GGG when one or the other is unavailable

Soon as both are available, fighter changes his tune

Throw that record out, it's broken

That has happened in the past, but I respect Billy's honesty here.

And yet some weird GGG haters will suddenly claim GGG is ducking Saunders among many others. LOL!

Boxing is in an awful place atm.

3 months to negotiate mandatories
Titles not being defended for a yr
Epic matches doing low numbers on PPV
Call outs but need x tune up matches

..etc..

Too late - Saunders saw it and is off to the bogs to change his soiled underwear.

Its getting a bit whacky for sure. Boxers going inactive for long periods then needing the tune-ups to deal with the inactivity. As Doug Fischer recently said before Loma-Walters '... boxers don't get better by not fighting..'.

Ali fought 6 times in 1972 - can you imagine ? If it took Ali 6 months to get a big fight he would do a tune-up during the 6 months.

Part of the reason yesteryear's boxers were probably better than today's - they fought more.

Saunders is the definition of LAME. He represents everything that's wrong with boxing and doesn't seem to show the character traits of a champion.

The sooner he gets knocked out, loses that belt, the better for boxing.

Very true but still pretty amazing. Langford is quite average.
