    Dude hasn't been active since last year. What gives? Does he really think he'll lose his belt if he defends even once? Is he just milking his reign as a WBO champ and hanging onto it as long as he can? So far I haven't heard anything from his camp regarding potential fights this year. It's almost though he decided to take the year off and sit on his WBO belt.

    Stuff like this reminds of that pathetic guy in high school who finally somehow gets a hot girlfriend and will do anything to hang onto it cuz they know they won't get another shot at it. Hence BJS hanging onto his WBO belt, imo.

    Last time I heard from BJS, I watched his rant filled video at his horse stable talking a lot of trash about GGG, Canelo, Eubank, etc. Is that where he is hiding? At his horse stable?


    Any thoughts?

    You obviously have a problem with Saunders :lol:

    When you say he hasn't fought since last year it sounds a lot worse than what has actually happened and while it's true it is only 6 months, Andy Lee was Dec 19th 2015 and Saunders had to pull out of his first defence with an injury in the last couple of months.

    I agree, I would like to see him more active but quite a few world champions only fight twice a year so it isn't exactly a lengthy spell of inactivity, he has missed the first half of the year with an injury. It happens.

    I wouldn't say that's milking the belt at all and wtf are talking about "pathetic guy with a hot girlfriend"? :lol:

    He hasn't fought since Dec. He's talking calling out a lot of big names, but isn't doing much besides that.

    Yes, yes they do and if he don't fight injured then he is ducking every fighter on the planet and holding the title hostage.

    Wants to work his version of the Mayweather like most fighters.


    Why he boxes is a mystery when he can earn money racing his gypo horses. And people say fighters don't have a trade to fall back upon.

    Good job your opinion means nothing. Love this talk, Eubank beats him in rematch rubbish.......bjs and his team have offered Eubank the rematch twice, sent the lawyer down with the contract to sign twice, more money than he has earns in his entire career and the wbo world title, turned it down twice. Why??

    One reason is Adam booth came in and advised him he would not beat bjs at this point. Think I will take his opinion over anyone else's.

    Sucks for him. His mandatory might be Khurtsidze or Magomedov, if that prospect turns down the Khurtsidze fight. Either dude could beat him.
