    I can totally respect that. I myself feel that DL is vastly overrated, and I also feel Eubanks and Lee despite being more technically sound than DL are unproven at the world level.

    Murray is a better boxer than Lemieux, but Golovkin tore him up, so he is probably ruined!

    I've just remembered something from a few months ago that I don't think was discussed on here.

    I watched an interview with Frank W, and it was just after James DeGale's loss to Caleb Truax.

    Frank said that it was a shame that James had lost, as he was planning for a fight between him and Billy at a C-W.

    I don't know if anyone else watched the interview, but I was shocked. I found it bizarre.

    Absolutely, but that was a while ago now and he hasn't done a whole lot since. That said, looking at the WBO rankings, there isn't an awful lot of choice

    Be interesting to see if Murray can even make 160 easily these days.

    Hes getting older and has been fighting a lot at 168 recently

    It's still a yr or 2 before GGG is slowed down enough to be beaten without corruption.
    Back to back terrible judging has given a few subjective posters fodder for their shiit cannons, but GGG would stop BJS if the 2 were to meet this year.

    Canelo woulda been kod if a nuetral referee would enforce the rules against low blows, about 1/2 of his landed punches in the fight

    I'm bout sick of corruption and demos swallowing it like semen by the gallon.

    First Kovalev 117/110 somehow ends in him losing, then Jacobs fighting a GREAT fight, but merely fighting close enough to win 4, TOPS, then Ward allowed to drill Sergeys children more than he actually hit Sergey, then Alvarez getting a draw cause he won 2 rds, and 2 sympathy rds somehow turns into 118/110.

    I won't buy another PPV I disconnected my HBO subscription since they are complicit rewarding the likes of Ward and Canelo.
    Next will be hyping Horn for getting a W behind his 3 rds

    Yeah I reckon you’re probably right,I were even scared he were gonna get stuffed by the judges in the Jacobs fight and in the Canelo fight well we all know how bad that were and not just Adelaide Byrd card as it’s always a given Canelo is gonna have one corrupted judge which makes it all but impossible to beat him fairly,anyone doubts this see Mayweather V Canelo fight and respective cards,that one had it a draw is as laughable as the Byrd card.

    That said Jacobs and Canelo despite pre fight talk have found a way of fighting him as going toe to toe with him would result in em getting KOd,Saunders though with his skills could Box Golovkin without going to the ropes and looking like Canelo on his bike.

    Get what you’re saying but I’d have it 60/40 for GGG against Saunders.

    Saunders showed me something in the last fight. His footwork and defensive reflexes are outstanding. BJS could be the #1 guy at middle weight in a year or two when GGG retires or moves up to 168.

    Hopefully he stops fighting has beens and chumps and actually does something to get the big fights. FFS, how long did he duck GGG?
