It is clear as day he is not ever getting GGG or Canelo, he might have a belt but there is zero demand for either fight. I believe GGG will drop the IBF belt before Canelo fight so he doesn't have to pay step aside and sanctioning fees, after that he won't bother unifying. Canelo doesn't need the Saunders fight, it will be a stinker of a fight and won't help his ppv status. Saunders can't make big money against anyone else @160 and risks losing his 0. If he moves to 168 an unbeaten champion with a win over Jr to his name that could help him in negotiations with big domestic clashes. He doesn't really have any big domestic clashes @ 160. If he loses his 0 and moves to 168 a beaten fighter and Jr won WBSuperSeries then he would have to take huge unders for the rematch even though he has that win.
I firmly believe GGG wants that belt. If he cant get Canelo I expect that next to be fair. I also think GGG should stay away from 168, being an average sized 160 lb fighter and showing signs of slipping!
Sorry mate, read that wrong. Yeah Saunders might be better at 168. He has the skills to compete with any of them up there
I think he would've 2/3 year ago, but hes obviously getting older and I wouldn't say he's been a gym rat, well we know hes not !
Even if could make 154, who would he fight? Kell Brook is his stable mate and Khan is 147, the rest don't make anything more than he would get at 160.
He isn't big enough for super middleweight, I have always thought he could do 154lbs with more dedication, lazy ****. I wouldn't mind see him get his arse kicked though so i'm happy to see him go up.
Funny how a lot of people say he could make 154, I think he could but he would be an absolute corpse and would get destroyed. Saunders is a big 160lber, look @ the Monroe Jr fight he looks like the naturally bigger man, Monroe looked like a pumped up 154.
Monroe has fought at 154 tho. No way BJS leaves middleweight right now. He has big money fights at 160 vs GGG Canelo Lemiuex Jacobs.
I've never thought he was a big middleweight, he's always looked like he was carrying a few pounds on his hips, fat bastad.
In his biggest fights he has always come in shape, no fat on him and looking skinny and lean, still barely made 160 limit.
Saunders gas tank is terrible at middle it will be even worse a super middle carrying extra weight he could have made light middle if he wasn't such a fat mess when his not fighting maby he could fight degale in a battle of the worst gas tanks
Yes, I thought it was common knowledge that Saunders struggles to make 160 lb. He'd be a corpse at 154 lb, I guess he thinks that his corpse could still KO Khan, and he might be right there.
