    GGG and Canelo camps are both saying they want the rematch next, Billy looks a million miles away from his mega fight!!!!

    Who will he fight next, I could see Jacobs being a lucrative but risky fight and he's booked any way.

    Lemieux turned him down already.

    Martin Murray would be an easy money fight. Could fight him then the Ndam/Murata winner.

    What do people expect next?

    I have seen people legitimately say they think the Khan fight is possible?

    Either some pushover or trading his wbo strap in for money and a beating against Golovkin.

    Do you think GGG wants the fight?
    According to fat boy Rafaels latest boxing chat Team GGG want the rematch next. We all know Fatboy is tight with K2 so it's highly likely he is telling us the truth.

    Bill needs to ditch uncle Frank, not that it's all Franks fault his career has stalled. A fair amount of the blame must be laid @ Bill himself.

    If Saunders went to matchroom he would have a lot more options that Frank couldn't deliver.

    Is he really going to wait 8 months? Only if GPB/Canelo insists on it again, to keep him inactive and prevent him from raising his own starpower, that might happen.
    But if he's free to fight inbween, picking up the missing strap against a guy that poses little danger would be the sensible thing to do.

    Billy Joe is one of the best in the division, he's also a huge stylistic threat. Slick and Southpaw, that almost sounds like GGG kryptonite except GGG isn't a superhero, like some like to think he's just a middle aged man.

    Billy would still be the best fighter GGG has beaten, hardly an easy win.

    Why wouldn't Canelo want GGGs star power to rise?

    GGG can fight who he likes, it has nothing to do with Canelo, he just doesn't fancy the Saunders fight at all, that's too much risk.

    You sure about that Robney? While I still think GGG beats Saunders, I've always thought BJS stood a better chance against GGG tan most at MW, and with Gennady in slight decline, I'm pretty sure Saunders has what it takes to elude and evade enough of his shots to stick around until the final bell and nick a few rounds off of him along the way..... and if its in the UK, you know the rest.:deal:

    Why are you in a hurry for the inevitable, Uncle Frank is doing a great job...prolonging BJS championship reign

    BJS best fight is Floyd Mayweather, he has to accept a re-hydration limit of 155. Floyd might be lured by the 160 strap...Especially with him having a clean W over Canelo

    That is the only fight for him, he should chase Floyd around...& convince him that he is an appropriate #51

    Floyd will be the obvious favorite, but its still a big risk for Floyd, so BJS/Frank have to work hard & start making that 155 re-hydration limit

    Billy doesn't have a problematic style for Golovkin, because he lacks the power to keep him honest, and most certainly wouldn't be the best Golovkin had faced if they fought. That's utter nonsense.
    I know you're a huge Billy Bob fan, but even you must favor Lemmy, Canelo and Jacobs over Saunders, as they are significantly better.

    And the starpower reason has to do with Golovkin becoming (almost) as popular as Canelo himself would be bad for them for the next fight. Then maybe judges won't be so pro Canelo anymore and he actually has to win the fight to get the nod.
    Financially better at that moment, but might cost him on the long run.
