FRANK WARREN GOES FULL ******. DEGALE/SAUNDERS? WTF??

A catchweight wtf?

Either do the fight at 160 or do it at 168, this isn't a fight that warrants a catchweight in any form.

Frank's stretching because he's struggling to get his fighters the big fights. He said in his last interview that Anthony Yarde could knock out Anthony Joshua LOL!

 

Franks just throwing that out there in jest - everybody knows it’s not feasible.

I think frank would like to keep working with James, but it probably won’t be feasible if the opponent is a unification against Benavidez or ramirez

 

In terms of skill, it's a great fight. I give Degale the edge.

Degale/Eubank is the one I want to see though. Regardless of weight, that's a proper grudge match.

 

He's lost the plot.

 

Can’t sell out the copper box but reckons he could host an event at the emirates.

 

lol. Degale v BJS would struggle to fill a phone box

 

Degale v Saunders would likely be a horrendous stylistic matchup- I’m just glad that it would basically have no chance of actually happening

 

This is Franks thoght process:
"Degale & BJS are both Arsenal fans, so get them in the ring together & then surely it would fill the Emirates Stadium Right?".... No Frank, it wouldn't.

 

I think this is a sign that after the Lemieux fight, BJS might step up to 168 for the big fights. GGG and Alvarez might yet be tied up for a third fight and then you’d be looking at 2019 to fight one of these lads.

I would back BJS to do well at 168. He’s a strong kid and is reliant on boxing skills rather than stopping his opponent.

 

I think his too small for 168

 

Frank Warren thought he was going to sell out an Irish stadium with Lee and Saunders and barely sold 5,000 tickets. He needs to get real and understand that casuals have no idea who Billy Joe Saunders is. There's not a cat's chance in hell that Saunders and Degale could sell even 40,000 tickets in a football stadium.

 

I do agree that his ideal fighting weight is still 160, just like Eubank Jn they are both too small for SM. I think BJS possesses the skill to make up for that shortfall in physicality. Frank Warren has said previously that he will step up at some point.

 

I reckon he just meant in the club bar in front of 80 punters.
