    I have only just got into BJS, must admit I far from convinced but I have a feeling he can mix it at world level. Whats his next move and any news on future opponents?

    Max Bursak at the copperbox would be a good move for BJS after Bursak robbed Blackwell.

    Saunders is a top fighter, I expect him to be world champ within 18 months

    He isn't beating any of the Current MW champs so i'm guessing you mean he either wins a vacated belt vs a lower ranked opposition or he wins one of those worthless belts like the WBA "regular or WBC "Silver".

    sorry but was darren barker, martin murray or macklin had a better resume before moving world level namely sturm and martinez fights i dont think so. and saunders is better than vera or stevens in abilty

    Quillin is just a paper champ cause Pirog is injured he got an easy route to the belt. Saunders is going the WBO route and ****** is good at getting home advantage for his fighters.
    Barker is good but hes beatable
    Saunders would defo have a good chance against those 2

    trolls on here are saying cause he had close fights with ryder and blackwell that he won't be world champ lol, but remember those 2 are top young fighters, the UK is blessed with many good middleweights

    I disagree on quillin being a paper champ, he beat a very good guy in a complete war for the title.

    Saunders actually looked alot better in his outing prior to ryder, but even BJS stated it wasnt his best performance against John but still got the W.

    BJS has alot of potential, I would love to see some better conditioning work done with him and see what else they could bring out of him.

    Got to be Max Bursak but doesn't he have one more defense to win the Lonsdale outright?

    He ain't winning no world title. No power and has stamina issues.

    When he moves up in class to world level his poor defense and lack of snap in his punches will be exposed.

    I thought Ryder beat him.
