Comments Thread For: Saunders: If Jacobs Wanted Me, Wouldn't Have Signed With Hearn

[iamboxing]

Jacobs doesn't strike me as someone who avoids other fighters, BJS is wrong about this one

[P4Pdunny]

no way Jacobs wouldn't fancy this fight. I even favour him to beat you.

Omg, ***** bottle job.
He’s just putting it out there that HE won’t fight Jacobs.
Jacobs by ko victory anyway as would Eubank jar in a rematch that Saunders has been avoiding like the plague.
Forget triple G or Alvarez....Alvarez will make him look amateur and triple G by easy very easy knockout.

Never heard of eubank jar is he good?

I agree with this, but would add some context.....

Golovkin and Canelo have earned the right to do their thing

Golovkin, because he has most of the marbles, and because he is generally regarded as the man at 160

Canelo, because he took Golovkin to the wire, is a superstar, and will likely win the rematch

Saunders has earned the right to wait for the winner, but that fight should happen next..... a potential trilogy fight for Golovkin/Canelo should wait.....

BJS is under no obligation to hand Jacobs anything..... Danny is a great guy and a very good fighter, but that real close loss* to Golovkin hurt his position, unfortunately..... he will have to make his own path for the next 12 months

maybe the awful IBF will be useful to him..... what with their rankings being so poor, and their trigger finger being so itchy

I agree with BJS not fighting Jacobs from HIS perspective, why would he risk his shot at the lottery for Jacobs to take? My problem is with him saying that Jacobs is avoiding the fight by going with Eddie Hearn, which is batchit insane and as BJS knows, complete bullchit.

I'd respect him more if he just said "Yeah I'm waiting for Canelo / GGG and don't want to risk losing my shot at them which I have earned". I'd respect that

He's a cousin of Jar Jar Binks

[PsychoPat]

He's a cousin of Jar Jar Binks

Hahahahaha good bloodline then

[Rip Chudd]

So in other words this is the excuse BJS is using to avoid Jacobs because he wants to wait for a more lucrative fight in the GGG vs Canelo winner. Actually, i'm sure he'll even go after the loser of that fight

[skinnystev]

meanwhile jacobs signs to fight another blownup junior middleweight jacobs would be made to look like a novice vs BJS

[fullers]

No different to hearn saying that fury signing with Warren makes the aj fight difficult. Bjs on his day is an incredible boxer, ask lemueux

[Tonyu]

BJS is dilusional he thinks everyone is avoiding him. BJS looked good against Lemieux but other than that he looked very ordinary. His got a lot to say about Golovkin every time GGG has a fight lined up trying to convince everyone that other fighters are trying to avoid him. I will laugh if Murray beats him. He must also remember Hearn is not the only promoter out there so he thinks everyone must sign with Hearn, perhaps Hearn and other promoters need to work things out.
