    Sorry, I meant Mayweather.
    Saunders is fighting Mayweather next.

    Murato v Saunders is a very good fight, not too sure on the JAP yet. He seems like a higher level version of OGOGO

    Did he definitely imply this ? I remember him saying it could be in their country too (or words to that effect) , I imagine that definitely rules GGG OUT unless he wants to fight in Kazakhstan ?!?!?

    He said something along the lines of it will be a "mega fight for all the BELTS" which to me suggests unification with GGG. He did also mention it would be in his opponents country like you say which would be very strange if true. Who knows with BJS, you have to take everything he says with a pinch of salt.

    Not saying he'd win but a fit and motivated Saunders takes GGG into deep waters, Billy has a great chin, great ring IQ and movement. All this and a southpaw as well, this will be GGG's biggest test. He is not the usual GGG opponent, i.e. some tomato can plodder who will just get pounded on and then take a knee and quit in about the 3rd round. There's no way GGG would blast him out early, BJS is way too good to let that happen.

    Beginning in about round 3, Golovkin would walk right through BJS and stop him somewhere in rounds 6-8

    Everyone seems to be underestimating the fact that BJS probably considers GGG as fighting out of America.

    Too soon for saunders - he needs at least one or two more defenses first. Plus time to get used to working with adam booth. And even then I dont see him having enough to beat ggg. Canelo would be a better fight for him if it could be made.

    You're deluded BJS is the luckiest bloke alive if he gets GGG purse, he's the worse MW world title holder ever!

    No canelo was how can you hold a title at 160 when you fight at a catch weight

    We will see when he fights him. He has the belt GGG wants, so they need to pay up and stop trying to cheapskate fighters.

    Why are people suggesting GGG and Canelo when they both have big fights lined up?..
    I've heard it's Murato, good fight but a big risk considering Murato is relatively unknown outside of hardcore fans.

    And it's not Murata, because the WBO have finally ordered BJ to fight his mandatory Khurtsidze!

    REJOICE PEOPLE! REJOICE! :aaaaa:

    About time BJS was made to defend.
