BJS offered Murata a fight on 9/16. Teiken promotions turned it down. Not enough time

I doubt Cotto will fight Lemieux. If he does it will definitely not be at 160.

I don't think Lemieux will go below 160, I guess if the price is right he may do it.

Yea...Lemieux boils down to hit 160lb...plus, every non-title(world, regional etc) fight he's had has been over the 160lb limit

Murata targeting the WBA regular as opposed to the WBO is bs, I can understand he knows he has N'Dam number but it ain't even a legit title, I guess he'll go into the history books all the same though. Maybe he believes he's got Golovkin's number too and he's looking at going the mandated route so who am I to judge, I don't see him beating Golovkin though.

Saunders vs Lemieux is another I'd like to see hopefully Lemieux sees this fight as his most lucrative option, a fight against Canelo after he's lost to Golovkin will still be huge and give Lemieux an almighty pay day I see Canelo targeting the WBO after the Golovkin fight.

I can't understand why Jacobs would be reluctant to face Saunders, is he next on the list after Lemieux should he rebuke the opportunity.

Liam Smith seems to have appeared in the WBO middleweight rankings recently. Seems like he's getting tired of waiting for the Williams rematch so Frank may give him this instead

Oh Hell naw. You serious? Smith is not a MW. But even if he moved up he needs a tune up fight first.

BJS Needs a warm up fight before he goes in with anyone of note, far too much inactivity and his last performance was one of the worst ive ever seen by a world champion

He could do worse than give Andy Lee an rematch

I can't hate Murata & his people for wanting N'Dam to try avenge the L most people thought was a bs decision.

BJS was my 160lb sleeper for awhile, but he's done f#ck all with the attention he's got & granted some of this bs isn't his fault (Oscar said whats what with GGG vs Canelo so the GGG fight didn't happen, his recent opponent is looking at the next 10+ years in the big house & Murata gots something on tap already), but I do feel there is some karma f#cking over BJS here with all his bs & sitting on the belt since winning it.

Dude looks likely to be ordered to face Lemiuex or failing that Brant, I don't see him beating either. The GGG/Canelo pay days gone in the wind, that's karma. Nothing will surprise me with Warren and his relationship wit the WBO though, no doubt Saunders will end up facing two nobodies as his mandatories. He must have been rubbing his hands at the thought of facing Khurtsidze to wait on Canelo/GGG, LMFAO he's now got these choices in front of him.

I read he may be facing Willie Monroe Jr. Im ok with that

[Chrismart]

Who do you think his next opponent will be?

I'm not sure mate. I can see it being a soft touch though if that's possible for him (i'm not sure on his mandatory situation).
Get that fight out of the way and then see if he can face Canelo next. I imagine he's hoping Canelo wins and he can get that fight and that pay day.

If GGG wins and they need a rematch, i think he may take on another big name instead. He will be up against it against Lem and Jacobs though i think.

Khurtsidze would of been good for him, and i actually wouldn't of minded seeing the Murart fight.
What you thinking mate? You got any preferences?

EDIT : I saw a guy on Youtube who said that BJS would be announcing his opponent in a few days, and that he hinted that it would be an American who has fought elite opponents.
I searched for those BJS's quotes though, and couldn't find anything.
