    Nice thread!

    On that note, what I said above doesn't apply to all fighters of course! It's great to see the willingness to sacrifice money for legacy, and for the fans!

    Beefy not happy. Says Hearn should just match Smith and Saunders and maybe take a loss on it or both of them could walk away.

    Listened to half of it but take home point's for me:

    He is financially secure (Liams words)
    Wants big fights, Canelo, Golovkin, Jacobs, BJS (all 4 you can class as career middleweights).
    No mention of Benavidez, Plant.
    No mention of moving up a weight and getting a big fight there.
    Smith and BJS should fight each other, so the loser can take a paycut for future fights, obviously they expect Callum to win that.
    Makes a valid point about WBC belt and rankings but we know its to gain more bargaining power. Yildirim isn't a big fight if it was to be made against him.

    I think he wants the biggest paying easiest fights, there's a reason he's getting questioned and it's because he does not seem prepared to fight anyone else except the 4 named above.

    I think I dislike these guys both the most in boxing. I want a double KO

    Is he serious. ?? He wants Hearn to match them and take a loss.

    I must say I was one of the people who thought signing for Hearn was a great move by BJS.

    He's just talking rubbish. Like they're gonna leave. Dillian Whyte threatens Hearn about leaving all the time but lets be honest, they're all really greasy to Hearn behind the scenes.

    Considering the scenario, Callum vs Yildrim is not a bad choice.

    BJS is in a bad situation though, turning down 6 million in pandemic time was a mistake. Would he make half that against Callum?
    Maybe if he is willing to fight Jacobs. It could be good.

    Hes been calling Andrade, but Andrade is not really free, with that mandatory pending.

    BJS now teaming up with Mark Tibbs after previously training with Jimmy Tibbs, Ben Davison for two separate spells , Danny Vaughan, Adam Booth and Dominic Ingle also for two separate spells. Wasted talent who should of been professional enough to stay in shape and taken the Canelo fight with both hands.

    Great move to link up with the Tibbs again IMO.

    Eddie should tell both of these clowns that there is no tune up fights available in this climate - fight each other on the next available slot around Feb/March or fcuk off

    Eddie saying it's Martin Murray that Billy Joe Will face. What a farce
