Billy Joe Saunders' route to the top is pretty darn impressive.

At his best he's good but I always get the impression that's as good as he gets. Not much room for imorivemet. People say he lacks stamina but I doint think he csan train harder.
He takes a lay off and he's already dropped 2 levels

He pretty much had the perfect development as a prospect. His attitude since he hit title level has been a massive shame.

He was like 200lbs before his latest camp.

BJS beat Ryder and got himself into the international picture and then wins over Eubank and Lee were good. However, BJS showed a lack of stamina against Eubank and a lack of ability to finish a guy off against Lee. The manner of victories can be questioned.
So not "darn impressive" but good. Saddest thing is, he is spending too long away from the ring, looked crap last time out and has avoided GGG at least 3 times.

Good mix of young prospects/veterans and capped it off with a decent world level title holder. Not all the performances were great, but he got the W's.
Not all highly touted prospects from the UK have progression like this. Many are shepherded through the levels. 'Path of least resistance' as you say.
Since the Lee win he just seems to have lost his ambition and dedication.
