    How does Billy ranked compared to:

    • Curtis Stevens
    • Matt Korobov
    • Patrick Neilson
    • David Lemieux
    • Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam
    • Marco Antonio Rubio
    Stevens v Lemieux - would be a great battle of the KO artists. Lemieux needs a test after being exposed twice. Stevens stood up well against GGG, but relies on hit or be hit. N'Jikam & Rubio lead the pack on experience. Korobov should have broken through long ago. Neilson presumably is Sauderland's new Kessler - compared his performance against Mendy to Callum Smith.

    I think BJS needs to beat one of the above to get a legitimate title shot. I rate him against all of them.

    Out of those I'd favour him to beat Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam, Patrick Neilson, (providing he doesn't get caught Lemieux and Stevens)

    However Rubio is very underrated and could really push him, as would Korobov who is improving all the time.

    Saunders has talent and personally I think he could easily hang with the lot of them, but he needs to go there and prove himself at that level now.

    Needs to look after those hands of his though.

    I don't agree he just seems a little....wishy washy with his punches if you get me. He has talent and may well prove himself at that level, but I'm not sure about the easily part...

    In the future do you think he could win a world title?

    BJS will win a world title if not this year the next he's a class act and seems to be getting fitter and stronger each outing.
    Good luck to him he a right nice guy!

    Would you agree he should be at LMW ? he seems to lack a little pop at MW.

    I've not seen anyone throw as many punches as BJS since slappy. The guy is impressive and will make Euro level hopefully world level.

    He needs to totally step up this year. Guy oozes class and needs to show it now. Needs to get a bit fitter to.

    BJS has two excellent coaches and he would be a LMW if they thought that was the best option it clearly isn't, also you don't need to be a banger to win world titles mate

    Not sure if this is completely true, but a few people have told me he lives like **** when he's not fighting.. doesn't keep himself in shape.

    think potentailly is world title holder would be ineteresting to see him against rubio should rubio drag him into the later rounds given questions about his stamina and would also be interesting to see how his apparent lack of power holds up against a big puncher like stevens.

    Myself I believe would hold up and answer all questions.My only worry is how bad is hands get after fights the picture after ryder fight on his twitter was scary!
