So what happens if Boo Boo fights & beats bily hoe?

I'm all for it! Boo Boo steps up and beats Saunders then he the man, is that being negotiated?

[robbyheartbaby]

No it's not. You guys just think it will be an easy win for a title that's why you guys want that fight.

Jermall Charlo drops lil g.

Sorry Razor this analysis is incorrect

When was Saunders afraid to engage? You mean the time he schooled the life out of Lemieux?

You're not bitter about that are you? You are from Canada.

He was undoubtedly afraid to engage Lemieux, even when he had Lemieux visibly battered, tired, and mentally broken. It was an anticlimactic victory. We've already seen Lemieux outboxed and even stopped by fighters who are not regarded as highly as Saunders currently is. Don't mistake being unimpressed with being bitter.

Why can't Vanes give Charlo all he wants? I mean, he beat his brother only for him to get robbed. It would actually be one of the best opponents Charlo has ever fought.

Vanes is shot, he was ready to retire before Golovkin picked him for an easy win, and, physically, he's not cut-out for middleweight. Besides, Charlo is the WBC 'interim champion', and Golovkin's mandatory. Vanes could be the perfect opponent for a fighter like Saunders to look good against, though.

Unification trumps mandatories. You should know this.

How convenient for Golovkin.

Anyone trying to pour scorn on that performance doesn't like boxing. Simple as that.

Call it what it was. Anticlimactic. Like watching a cat toy with a mouse, swatting it around, but never actually killing it. It was like making-out with your girlfriend for 45-minutes, then going home without getting any. Was it a great performance, or was it a let down? Unfortunately, the anticlimactic nature of his victory did not stop Saunders from ridiculously boasting as if he had slayed Goliath.

Charlo is still unproven no matter what you want to say. If he fights someone with substance and beats them, then the call for the fight will grow. But not until. Saunders is clearly the fight to take out of the 2.

'Big drama show' or not, the WBC says Charlo is the man to fight. Personally, I would rather see Golovkin fight Charlo instead of Saunders. I think it would be more likely to be an exciting fight. You can pretend you are superior and discuss how you appreciate the tactical nuances of a defensive fighting style, but don't even try to act like you would not rather see a FOTY candidate.

Vanes would be perfect for Saunders to look good against? Saunders doesn't need to be fighting lowly fighters such as Vanes. He's beaten better fighters than Vanes whereas Charlo hasn't. Don't forget Charlo is the one who needs to step up, not Saunders.

Saunders is waiting for his rightful shot at either Canelo or Golovkin because it's the fight that makes the most sense in the division. Charlo won't be getting that chance for the time being because he hasn't done anything to warrant it. While he's waiting he could take on fighters that get people interested instead of fighting scrubs the way he has done his whole career. Maybe then he starts to build interest for him to fight either Golovkin or Canelo.

Tell it to the WBC.

You would have been that guy, back in the 60's, getting your panties in a bunch because Clay had no business being in the ring with Liston.

I've already told you unification trumps mandatory.

If Liston had a much bigger fight against a much more proven fighter to fight against in a unification, then yes, I would definitely pick for him to go in that direction. As would anybody else.
