    He got injured and the IBF decided to enforce Dominic Wade instead.

    Looks like everyone thinks Saunders in June is the most sensible option.

    That's right, I forgot that Andy Lee expressed interest.

    Take the Saunders fight if it can get made because there's no promise the Canelo fight will happen anyway.
    Saunders was my number 3 in the division behind Jacobs, so it's a good fight in my book. Saunders is very talented just seems to have real stamina issues which can probably be addressed but I'm not sure they will.

    Fight Saunders and get that belt and achieve what he wanted to all along. I wouldnt risk that fight on a potential Canelo fight as reading between the lines of coke from Oscar he is still throwning roadblocks in there for his man, he still doesnt want this fight.

    Saunders. Oscar/Canelo are trying to stall his career, play games, beat him mentally first. His goal was to unify so he needs to unify.

    He should definitely try to make the Saunders fight and not play Oscar's game.
    IMO Chavez Jr will knockout Ducknelo in may so the fight won't happen in september anyway
