    - Billy Joe Saunders (Hearn) is the WBO champ (with no significant opponent next)...

        I didn’t say it would be a GOOD fight, just that he will have an opponent.

        I did say that 168 was weak didn’t I? ****, Truax is a former world champ lmao

          I hate all promoters, job or not that won’t change.

          Oscar bothers me a lot now because I was such a big fan of him as a fighter, and who he is as a promoter is the exact opposite to who he was as a boxer.

              168 has always been weak historically. It’s had good stars (Benn, Eubank Sr, Jones Jr, Toney, Ward, Froch) But for the most part it’s weak IMO

                ... It doesn't help... they are still there!... (former boxers or not... )

                  ... you may be right, as (for instance) Calzaghe and Ward had their best run at 175...

                    I thought you were being sarcastic. For some reason I thought Hopkins and RJJ fought him at 168

                      Dude I'm not a kid, why tf are you insulting me? You have the temperament of a pissed off teenager. What a twat. I don't like Hearn because of how two faced he is, he's worse than most at that. I don't hate his guts with a passion but I certainly don't like him. You calling me a fanboy when I haven't fanboyed over anyone ever, just pathetic.
