    Since he says he's moved on from Golovkin, obviously he's gonna move on to bigger and better things, right?

    it's quite clear that Saunders is in a hurry to get an opponent, since he gave Golovkin a deadline so he can move on with his career.

    So who's on the menu for Saunders?
    He negotiates with Canelo after his Chavez fight?
    He fights the winner of Langford/Khurtsidze.
    He gives the Wolverine a rematch?
    He fights some Someone else?
    He does have 2 mandatories which he should deal with.

    This guy is a joke of a champion can't wait for Khurtsidze to get that mandatory. I just want him out of the world scene, he barely fights anymore and when he does it's against poor opposition which he struggles with.

    His mandatory is the winner of Langford/Khurtsidze. Which is bullcrap considering that Khurtsidze has been the mando for a while and now he has to fight to get a shot.

    Yeah but it's Khurtsidze fault because he took the step aside money. He should have pushed the WBO for that title shot rather than sit around for a year after his big win against Douglas and then decide to delay and possibly lose his shot.

    I expect to smoke Langford who just doesn't have the power to compete at world level.

    If you'd seen them both you'd know Khurtsidze is definitely gonna give Langford a beating.

    yh I think thats close to a 50/50 fight but Saunders at his sharpest and very best would win a close decision.

    I hear ya. I'm sure if Khurtsidze did well but the fight was in the UK, he would get robbed on the cards vs Saunders. Unless he knocked him out or totally outclassed him somehow.

    Khurtsidze is a little wolverine. He absolutely destroyed the game and skilled Douglas, and Saunders would have to be at 100% just to stay in the fight imho. If BJS came in slack, Avtandil will lay him out for a nice snooze on that soft, soft canvas.

    Saunders is an idiot if he gives up the GGG fight for anybody other than Canelo. He could easily lose his belt to AK, and then all his big bucks paydays are gone.
