Let’s not forget Saunders committed the biggest duck in history

[Clegg]

That's true, but I guess he just wanted more time to improve or more money to face that level of opponent. He's probably not that unusual in mindset. To some fans it's almost as if there are 2 types of boxers: the first type is a fearless warrior who will always fight anyone, travel to any country, accept any lowball offer just for the sake of proving their greatness, and the second type is one who will always cherry-pick, stack the deck in his favour with location, officials, weight etc. and never accept a risky opponent even if offered retirement money. Reality is almost all boxers are somewhere in the middle in their mindset and the risks they take.

He did duck in the past and that was annoying especially as he's always been a mouthy fucker. It shouldn't just be forgotten. But looking at his career as a whole, he took a dangerous fight against a quality opponent before getting a title shot (Eubank), won the belt against a top 10 guy rather than being handed it/winning vacant, and travelled to defend against a top 10 guy. People can say he just waited for Golovkin to get old, but he's willing to face Canelo as well and has been for a while.

You may have a strong case for BJS being guilty of committing duckery in the past, but now it wouldn't surprise if GGG goes straight criminal as well, himself committing a heinous duck. This world is just ****in brutal I tell ya...

[Diego Rodriguez]

Yup this is right. GGG has been chasing saunders for years now all of a sudden saunders gives ggg an ultimatum when he's in active negotiations with canelo with a deadline and now ggg is supposed to drop everything for saunders. Umm yah it dosen't work that way billy joe.

No hate for BJS but you have it right.

The moron factor on this board is high so the Golovkin haters will spin it now like Golovkin is ducking Saunders.

[LockardTheGOAT]

Yep. Even admitted on more than one occasion that GGG would beat him. Also admitted he only wants the fight now because Golovkin is getting older, and thinks now is the time to get him. Total cuck.

[Richard Hamilton]

He signed to fight him in June

[W1LL]

Morons will be morons. Billy Joe Saunders is an honest, straight-talking man. Not like you phaggots trying to put a negative spin on everything. What he said was, two or three years ago, he openly said he wasn't ready for the Gennady Golovkin fight. He made no bones about it. GGG was crushing everyone on the grand stage and Billy Joe was preparing for his first World title shot. Earlier this year Billy Joe was ready and willing to fight Golovkin in Kazakhstan, if the Saul Alvarez fight hadn't came off. Saunders should get respect for wanting to establish himself as a top fighter before getting in with the top stars. Instead people are hating because he didn't jump in when he wasn't prepared. Morons will be morons.

[GhostofDempsey]

If GGG was ducking then why did Saunders say that GGG only wanted to fight Saunders when he was fat? Now that he is in better condition he wants GGG to fight him. Proof that at one time GGG was trying to get him to fight but Saunders basically waited until he knew GGG/Canelo was a sure thing to pretend he wanted the fight. Save face.

[j0zef]

What? He was ready to fight gg this year. Gg didn't sign cause his team was full of shlt as usual

Yeah, I'm totally with you. He comes back after a year layoff, almost loses to a complete bum while being fat as ****, and says he was totally ready to fight Golovkin. It's not because Golovkin had the Canelo fight scheduled, a fight that was talked about for ONLY 2 ***ing years.

And by god, BJS is totally awesome for calling out Golovkin again, considering Canelo had a rematch clause that he's exercised and everyone knows there's 95% chance we get GGG/Canelo in May.


You can hate a fighter for whatever reason floats your boat and be a troll, but don't be an idiot as well. There will be dozens of fighters calling out either Canelo or Golovkin for the next 6 months (and the last 6 months). It's a puss move that nobody in their right mind should take seriously.

[uppercut510]
