    A rematch between BJS and Lee should definitely happen. Billy won the title by SPLIT DECISION in the initial fight. Beating a champ by split decision many times leads to a rematch but now more than ever this should as neither have anything lined up.

    GGG is tied up with Brook.
    Jacobs is tied up with Mora.
    Canelo is tied up with Smith.

    They should get it on again and I guarantee it couldn't be as boring as the last fight.

    I don't think it would ever happen. Tickets sold very poorly - remember they initially wanted it in an Irish stadium? Had to reschedule it twice. The fight was good but Billy Joe won fair and square. No need to take that rematch when actually getting in the ring took so long and it was a poor ticket seller.

    Lee should fight Eubank. Now that's an interesting fight with the Adam Booth factor thrown in.

    I can't see two fighters with the same trainer fighting but I'd love it to happen especially cos Andy would knock out that arrogant s**t head.
     
  5. Billy J ******* needs to start stepping up his activity and actually fight somebody.

    Booth doesn't train Junior anymore, only did very briefly. Hasn't for the last few fights.

    My apologies.Would be a fascinating sub-plot so. I think Lee would KO him circa 7/8. Would set him up perfectly for GGG then.

    Interesting. I personally don't think Lee would be able to keep up with Eubank's speed and combos but obviously that Lee right hook is more dangerous than anything Eubank can throw back.

    I have Eubank on points.

    Wonder if they sparred back when Booth was involved with both.

    Rematch? No thanks. As others have said the whole Lee- Saunders was almost a year of farce what with all the pullouts and then actual fight itself was ****

    They need to fight so Lee can win the belt back and fight better opposition
