    agree with this and BJS was one of my favourites, pre-nasal spray. Fight probably won't happen anyway, 1 of Matchroom UK's main fighters v one of Franks main fighters, not going to happen

    He can't just walk in to a vacant title shot the weight class above

    Ffs what an appalling joke, and if it happens I hope he gets smashed to pieces.

    I was actually starting to fancy Boo-boos chances, and now this. Disgusting actually considering he is still banned by the WBO ATM.

    Okay, so he should be a cruiserweight or light-heavy? don't be so ridiculous

    Seems odd to me. I guess he was always 'skinny fat' before he joined the Ingles, and now that he has actually put some muscle on it must be harder to get down to 160.

    I still believe if he had a better work ethic then he would make 160 quite easily. But if he wants to say he is more comfortable at 168 then so be it. Just a shame after the Lemieux fight really. I was desperate for him to fight GGG or Golovkin at MW and shock the world..

    It has nothing to do with size.

    He's just had a gift wrapped title handed to him.

    He would go up to heavyweight and fight for a title if it was against this calibre of opponent

    Have to agree with this. How people can't see the path of least resistance Saunders constantly attempts to take to big league fame and riches is beyond me. That's hardly unique in boxing granted.

    So you think he will look at going back down to MW? I've not checked what anyone has said just yet..

    I'd say he will go wherever he sees the $$$$
    Which is probably with the belt.

    Obviously eyeing an easy payday versus Degale Eubank winner...

    In reality, he’s never going to be a great so why not chase the easiest paydays...

    What's the reason given for not facing Andrade?
