    His gypsy style call out was legendary. From the caravan he's calling out the feared GGG. In his white t and trousers, Billy Joe is a real fighting man I can see him pulling it off.

    I see BJS's speed and ability to box as big advantages for him. However, his tendency to fight at a slow pace and not push an advantage plays largely into GGGs hands.

    Billy Joe has a live chance in this fight. He's too slick, too gypsy for GGG.

    Yes, BJS is better than Brook (at 160).

    Billy Joe zero chance against Golovkin. Golovkin will cut off the ring. Use the jab to to measure and get inside and then stop him.

    Why even bother fighting all these guys, right?
    Since we already know GGG KO everyone, including Ward, Caenlo, Lara, BJ S, why even bother with them... Bring ON the winner of Vargas-Pacquiao for #37!

    Well if you could bring back Roy Jones, James Toney, Tommy Hearns and Marvin Hagler then Gennady might lose. Hell he probably doesn't beat all four of them.

    But they're not around anymore.

    saunders is the smoothest boxer at mw, he'd light ggg up for the first few rounds. he needs to work on his stamina, and perhaps power.

    Saunders barely beat Lee despite all of those knockdowns... He doesn't stand a chance against GGG, and doesn't appear to be eager to fight him.

    114-112, 115-111, 113-113. Not exactly what I call cruising to a decision. It was very competitive, those knockdowns won him the fight.

    The way to beat a boxer is to cut off the ring and pressure him. Golovkin is the best pressure fighter in the game. He's got legendary chin and ring cutting ability.

    Look man, Golovkin beats BJS. He's just a better fighter.

    Saunders v Brook is a nice fight. Frank's top fighter v Eddie's top fighter

    i scored it 8-4 for billy. clearing the first 5rounds if remember and taking a few of the last 7.

    isnt it possible that saunders has improved being only 27 himself
