    yes it's only 9 weeks until September but he could of kept in some reasonable level of high fitness during lockdown instead of putting on 2 stone. He knew that he 'might of' been next for the biggest fight of his life.

    How many times have we heard him say something similar to 'I'm ticking over, ready, and waiting for the call'? Both for the GGG fight and Canelo fight! Hundreds of times!

    BJS is not all that he's made out to be, name ONE a-class fighter that he has beaten? he doesn't beat Canelo with 9 weeks or a 16 week camp

    He is finished

    He's a domestic fighter. Lemieux(sp?) is very, very ordinary.

    Like BJS style in the ring when he doesn't get too cocky. But don't see him having the power to trouble the Mexican paddy.
    Just look at the amount of big shots he took off GGG

    And on the other hand BJS his chin has been known to wobble just saying

    Remember Calzaghe begging his dad to pull out of the Lacy fight after hurting his hand, and Enzo begging Joe to get in there with Lacy or he'd be seen as the biggest joke ever forever.

    Always thought BJS gave Canelo the sternest test in the division. As elite as canelo is his feet aren’t the quickest. Saunders has the combination of lateral movement and feet to trouble him. That aside he’s wasted it. For how much of a t**t he is ill take great pleasure from seeing him get bounced around the ring when it eventually happens

    Yeah Joe had serious confidence issues from the bullying he and his family suffered as he was growing up. By this point he also had hand injuries that would have forced many boxers into retirement. It makes the victory and absolute schooling of a then unbeaten World Champion billed as the 168 Mike Tyson all the more beautiful. Credit to Enzo for getting him in there and fighting like someone with all the confidence and self belief in the world.

    On another note if he’s looking for the British PPV money. I’d love to see the Ryder fight at 168. Ryder deserves it

    I can't see Saunders getting in the ring any time soon, if ever again. For a start he has a drug habit. He's a very warped individual who will likely do or say something warped again and receive more suspensions.

    Blows my mind Enzo was a musician who learnt boxing due to how good his son was. Emphasises to me how special Joe was
