    He won the fights, and its not like Eubanks jr doesn't have some nice wins on his resume.

    Lemieux, Munroe, Eubanks jr, Lee, O'Sullivan...Saunders is building a resume and unlike Graham doesn't have any losses.

    I think Saunders just isn't popular in some UK circles.

    Doza ive been following Saunder for a long time , so im not sure what your trying to tell me. I haven't even said Graham wins this match.

    and fyi , Saunders is a very popular and well liked fighter in the UK so trying to claim Graham's lead is only down to a dislike of Billy's backround is more dishonest behavior out of you. Why is it so important to you that Billy wins this fight?

    its by no means clear either way, but if i had gun to my head I would say graham SD based on him just marginally being eeked out by ATG McCallum, and based on Saunders dominating a very weak champion.

    Could easily be other way.

    I think the issue is we havent seen best Saunders yet, and he may well improve. Threads like this get started too early, the fault lies there.

    I'd say BJ is my favourite current Brit boxer at the moment, based on him being genuine, and also quite a funny guy.

    I agree with this,I think we should reserve judgement on BJS until we see what he achieves in the next couple of years.
    He’s a very talented kid who probably didn’t take his training and career seriously until recently when he’s hooked up with Ingle.
    Even then he managed to beat Eubank Jnr and Lee he looks a different proposition now.

    I'm still trying to get my head around the sheer contrarian stupidity of saying that Billy Joe would outpoint McCallum. Jesus H Christ.....

    And Lemieux fights like he has peg legs from the knees down, my wife's Grandma Beryl has better footwork when she's doing the hokey cokey on music night in the old folks home she lives in. She's 86 and four foot eleven. Great lady, in fairness. Mad as a ****ing bike.

    Steve Collins gave McCallum a good scrap and Saunders is better than Collins also Mike was far more effective at light middle his power devastated opponents at that weight, his punches at 154lbs were faster and landed more sharply lie when he KO`D Jackson and Curry plus his body was far more defined, Saunders body looks better than McCallums at middle.

    It would have been a lot easier for Saunders to outpoint Jackson than McCallum, Saunders hasn`t fought anyone even close to that level plus Jackson`s hands were the fastest McCallum ever came up against according to Mike so his chance of catching Saunders the same way he timed Graham are higher than Lemieux`s were when he plodded after BJS, dangerous fighters.
