    I like watching BJS, think he is one of our most under the radar boxers.

    That said & knowing how Queensbury and someone in particular like to build (milk) there champions - there isn't a chance he fights GGG IMO.

    That said - outside a Eubank JR rematch (which is virtually nailed on to happen IMO) - I'm looking at credible, beneficial and available opponents?

    Lemiux? (Cant see either travelling to fight eachother - would HBO back this?)

    Lee rematch? (looks set to fight Jacobs)

    Hassam NDAM? - (think they were in negotiating for this fight - perhaps wanted to much money? Doesn't fill the copperbox mind you let alone a stadium)

    Jorge Sebastian Heiland - good fight IMO, never going to get a WBC shot, sell off the back of a Macklin win?

    Any more potentially?

    It's the biggest fight for him quite comfortably. Casual fans know who GGG is and they love him because he is a KO machine. Even my mum knows who he is...

    Aside from that I think he'll struggle with big fights, especially seeing as he doesn't seem willing to travel
