Are people forgetting about what Saunders said to Eubank?

[Ray*]

Firstly that was a couple of years ago I think, and he was stating a fact at that time. Why would anyone pick him or Eubank over GGG at that time?

[davef]

he said this when he was just heating up in the pros while golovkin was demolishing everyone nearer the top on the world stage of course he would think that

but it seems the gaps closing now golovkins getting up there in years and probably will have another war with canelo so BJS is looking like he could have a chance now

What Saunders is forgetting now is that GGG not only won every round from Lemieux with ease he also knocked him out. Saunders never real hurt Lemieux and he won't school Canelo or GGG because they are much more skilled boxers than Lemieux.

In all fairness, this was when Saunders was fighting at Euro and domestic level and not a world champion.

Let's not bull**** around here. BJS has avoided GGG all this time and still knows, even with Golovkin getting old, he has no chance. A post victory **** talking high won't change reality.

I remember this and it is clear BJS has avoided him for quite some time but that doesnt negate the fact that he is a different fighter now than he was then. The difference being he can now go 12 rounds without blowing his gas tank and that must have added the belief he can beat GGG.

I think BJS hurt Lemieux at one point in the 7th or 8th round.

Billy right now is high on his horse understandably since he schooled and embarrassed Lemieux. Golovkin is not Lemieux. He will get to BJS and hurt him badly. No contest and deep down Saunders knows it.

[Vinnykin]

Lets not forget he was 24 at the time, and a relative novice, he was just being honest. You can't compare 24 year old BJS to the one that fought the other night and who has since won a world title.
