    At 23-0, should he jump at the shot to fight the division best? Or should he avoid what most see as a certain beating?

    It's a tough decision when you have a monster like GGG in your division, you can have an undefeated record, or lose it trying to make a name for yourself. If you get blown up in a few rounds, you become irrelevant, but if the pay is right...

    Be nice if he did, but from BJS' perspective I'd either be looking to get couple of name builders under my belt first OR start gunning for Canelo.

    I will not be at all surprised to see GBP contacting Saunders over the next few weeks and if that Canelo offer comes he should obviously take it.

    Even from Golovkin's POV Saunders ain't a particularly desirable fight since he brings essentially no name, only the belt, but given the dearth of other MW options available I can see why they would want to throw $s at it.

    If the money is right then of course he should take it.

    Losing to GGG won't really harm his career, he can still make a huge fight with Eubank and make claims to being the number 2 in the division.

    If he loses to Eubank, or anyone else he can forget big money vs GGG.

    yes, it's better to lose to GGG for a lot more money than to Eubank or Jacobs for a lot less

    The one they call Triple G could beat BJS and Eubank Jr on the same night and still have enough energy left to upgrade to 4G.

    Saunders isnt keen, but he did mention once that if millions are on the table, he would take the fight.

    Don't think he'd lose to Eubank Jr and have a decent shot at Jacobs.
