    God it's hard to get this man an opponent. Maybe his team should just take the risk and fight Ward @168.

    To be great, one must take risks.

    GGG can't become great with that weak middleweight division.

    Then, in September, it now looks set for the long-awaited WBO middleweight title clash between new holder Andy Lee and Billy Joe Saunders down in Limerick. Now that should be a fun night.

    Originally the idea was to do it at a football ground in this country on 5th September but it proved logistically difficult – and very expensive – even though the date would have tied in with the international break, allowing time for the pitch to be set up.

    But financially it seems better to do it in Ireland on 19 September and while Lee, as an Irishman, will have home advantage, Joe is the sort of character who doesn’t mind where his caravan rests as long as he gets his title shot. As he says, he is a Travelling Man. As is Lee, of course, which makes this fight both fascinating and unique.

    T****nd Park Stadium where we anticipate the fight will to be held is basically a rugby ground – indeed one of the sport’s most famous venues, with a capacity of around 34,000. It is the home of Munster Rugby, one of the most successful and best supported clubs in the world, though it has also staged international football. The atmosphere is said to be fantastic.

    It is good that we finally have got this s**** together after all the messing around over a proposed return for Saunders with Chris Eubank Jnr. But we move on and Billy Joe can how concentrate on realising his world title dream.

    He needs to shake a bit of rust out of his system first so he will box on the Frank Buglioni—Fedor Chudinov WBA World Super-Middleweight title bill at Wembley on 24 July in a ticking-over bout to have him prepared and ready for September.

    Obviously I am not looking to upset the opportunity of a world title fight. We just want him to get some rounds under his belt. After stepping aside for Lee to fight Peter Quillin, it is now Bill’s time and I really do fancy him for this, though it will be far from easy.

    But he has developed into a quality fighter with a great chin- and that’s what he will need against a thumper like Lee.

    Wherever the fight was taking place – London, Limerick or Las Vegas – I would fancy my man to win it.

    Excerpt from Frank ****** column.

    P.S.Possible future opponent for Golovkin,in Lee/Saunders bout.

    He's getting that big fight soon, don't worry. I expect Canelo, Lemieux, and Lee or Saunders all being very realistic opponents in the near future.

    He wants to fight 4 times a year, which means he has to fight another guy that his haters won't shut up about. I have hopes For Lee-Saunders too, but not sure about Canelo or Lemieux. But hey, maybe Haymon will use Lemieux as the step aside money :lol:

    Lee and/or Saunders? Maybe.

    Canelo or Lemieux? Doubt it.

    Lee already said that he wants Quillin and Chavez Jr rematches after Saunders. If Saunders wins, I doubt that he would rush to get stopped by GGG. Lemieux/DLH started inventing inexisting mandatories right away, so they are clearly ducking. Canelo could insist on fighting GGG after he beats Cotto. Another option could be Hopkins at 168-170.
