    Good point ...but also you have to admit that Lemmy has improved since GGG fight ,somewhat & (IMO) Saunders beat lemmy in a better fashion than GGG ?

    If Jacobs deserved a shot at GGG for beating Mora for a second time.....

    Then BJS deserves a shot for dominating Lemiuex.


    Typical American bias.....

    I don't think he did beat him in better fashion. Outpointed him as wide on the cards as possible Saunders, but GGG would've killed him if the fight wasn't stopped. It has to be better, he couldn't continue !

    Defintely not on this bandwagon yet.. I havent seen anything or him fighting anyone that would even get me close to believing this guy is going to be P4P #1... You can obviously tell he has talent but he has done absolutely nothing yet.. Beat who?? Lets wait until he fights an elite fighter if and when he does.

    You BJS fans are a weird bunch.

    First off, I agree that BJS should get a title shot at GGG as soon as reasonably possible. I'm not even sure why you're making tbis argument.

    Secondly, BJS already DUCKED GGG once, who is to say he won't do it again.

    Golovkin and Canelo have unfinished business, and it is very likely that their unfinished business may end with a rubber match.

    Jacobs and Golovkin also have unfinished business as their fight was a bit controversial to an extent. Not sure if GGG would want to grant him a rematch, but it would not be inconceivable if he did.

    Realistically BJS may have to wait his turn yo fight GGG or Canelo until late 2019.

    BJS also priced himself out of a potential fight with Jacobs by asking for a ridiculous 7 million dollars. Lol

    As far as no names on Jacobs resume, it clearly shows you're not familiar with the MW division. He doesn't have a Canelo resume, but I would say its on par with BJS, except that Jacobs proved he can fight on even terms with GGG, something BJS hasn't done.

    Now if BJS decided to make a statement he would not have requested 7 million for Jacobs, but instead fought Jacobs and prove he belongs to be ranked amongst MWs very best.

    I like BJS but I sure hope he steps up in level of opposition. The Jacobs fight would have been a great opportunity for him.

    Im not sure what you mean by this.. Canelo is a proven elite, 2 division, 3 time world champion with wins over true champions who is rematching GGG. A fight with Jacobs right now makes no sense from any standpoint.

    BJS is an up and coming MW with a paper title whose best win is either DL, AL, or CE, depending on what BJS fan you're speakinh with. He is still unproven against top quality opposition and a win over Jacobs would do wonders for his resume.

    Lee, Eubank, Lemiuex. All current or former world champions. There are guys in a lot of peoples top 10 p4p that don't have 3 names that good.

    Lee and Lemieux were paper champions at best. Eubank is not at the world level. I guess he gets his shot at world level against Groves in about a week.

    What hurts BJS a lot is his ducking of GGG and Jacobs.

    He gives everyone trouble RIGHT NOW so why not hit the #1 spot in next 12-18 months
    I agree

    Well I agree the last comments about being an upcoming contender I’ve never said otherwise and I’ve certainly never said anything about Hearns,Hagler ect.
    Once again though you keep judging me by your own bias way of things,only last year I was slating Saunders which is what I’d do to em all if they started acting like he was.

    You need to lighten up and stop looking at boxers as hypejobs or champions cause it’s boring,just enjoy as last year was a great year for boxing and 2018 is looking good.

    My argument was not personal. You're making it about you lol..

    I stated that the claims you and your boy CST80 made about GGG and Canelo ducking BJSaunders are baseless and borderline delusional, especially when you consider that BJSaunders has a history of ducking, and GGG was one of those fighters he ducked.

    Since your hyping is on par with those others who created threads suggesting BJS was #1 at MW (which CST80 agreed with), and those who stated that BJS would beat Hopkins, Hagler, SRR, and Thomas Hearns I took the moment to expose the ridiculousness in all of you BJS nuthugger's comments.

    Once again, I like BJS, and I hope he finally steps up and fights the best and doesn't wait around picking his nose waiting for the winner of the GGG-Canelo likely trilogy. The hype people like CST80 and to degree you give BJS is ridiculous.
