    James5000 has this delusion that Golovkin is utterly massive for the MW division :rolleyes: Even after he's been shown the weights. Sigh ....

    Golovkin should fight Saunders ASAP, if the money is right, he would cut the ring off and hurt Saunders, Saunders would stand a much better chance vs. El Pollo.................Saunders needs to fight Jacobs next................he would also beat Charlo the cripple beater...............

    Lemieux vs ggg was a blow out but the rounds werent AS one sided as saunders vs lemieux were. Lemieux landed shots on GGG clean ones not many and ggg even said he felt them. Lemieux didn't want to press too much in fear of being knocked out. but a couple of the rounds were semi close vs GGG. not close enough to give them the other way but lemieux would land a couple good shots and GGG would land 10 good shots.

    Saunders Lemieux didn't realy have a fear of getting stopped. and there wasnt as much keeping lemieux from bull charging him and he still couldnt land **** all. Being south paw really ****ed with him but I heard that lemieux was sparring south paws... they were just expecting the saunders from his last 2 fights, turns out being put on the spot did a lot for him.

    Saunders could have already fought GGG but he has avoided him thus far. Now he calls him out again, let's see if it happens. I have my doubts.

    Yes. Saunders already had beaten enough B level contenders to deserve Golovkin.

    But with GGG and Canelo likely rematching in May he'll have to take another fight before he gets a crack, and he should fight someone better than Lemieux to show it wasn't a fluke, and someone just as well known, to show he matters. The matchmaking shouldn't be hard: Canelo against Golovkin, Jacobs against Saunders, then hopefully the winners in September.

    Saunders looked very good. Agreed, he's a big fight vs GGG or Canelo.
