    Is saunders most deserving of GGG shot?

    He has wins over Eubank Jr, ANdy Lee, and most recently david lemuix.

    Is he most deserving of a title shot?

    Or should he fight Daniel Jacobs or Eubank Jr?

    With his performance last night, I think "deserving" is not the right word. Saunders is the goods. Can GGG deal with all that slick movement style is the better question. The two times he tried (Canelo and Jacobs), he looked average at best. Saunders is even better than both now, IMO. And, yes, I know he was fighting a C+ Lemieux (GGG's best win).

    Eubank Jr is one of my favorites. After last night, I might go with Saunders.

        Without doubt he should fight the GGG-Canelo winner next. Coming off a good win and holds the WBO belt

          BJS is a very talented fighter, but does not have the power of Canelo or Jacobs to keep GGG honest and stop him from trying to walk through him. He also doesn’t have the range and sheer size of Jacobs to utilise the range and distance as effectively. Let’s also remember Lemieux is a flat footed and slow footed fighter who can’t cut off the ring and has generally poor technique. GGG is very adept at cutting the ring off and fights at a much higher pace than Lemieux, so Saunders would be under constant pressure, I’m very confident GGG would get to BJS and stop him. Saunders would definitely cause him some problems early on but there’s no way he beats him IMO.

            Fight Eubank Jr?? He's in a different weight class now. WTF... lol

            Canelo is obviously the most fitting for a Golovkin fight as there's unfinished biz but BJS would be right behind him. Charlo is probably the best in the division but I'd place him behind the other two as far as the waiting list goes.

              The winner of GGG vs Canelo should absolutely fight Saunders next. He is the most deserving. He is undefeated and a world champion who just won every round with ease from top 5 world rated middleweight Lemieux. Jacobs lost on all three judge's cards in his home state. Eubank will stay at 168. If GGG beats Canelo he will try to completely unify 160 by fighting Saunders. That has always been his goal as he has stated many times.

                Yes, & I think he gives any forward moving fighter trouble.

                  Canelo vs GGG II is next - anything else is a blatant duck and will bring shame to Canelo's career that he will never live down. After that, Saunders is next up. Don't know if I'd call it 'deserving', but it's either him or Jacobs, and Jacobs is trouble for little reward.

                    Canelo then Jacobs imo as far as deserving. Saunders for the last strap if Golovkin chooses i guess.
