    I am a little surprised but think it's the right move for Billy Joe (if he signs for Hearn) as DAZN have so much more clout at 160-168 than Frank. What's peoples views ?

    I don't even feel bad any more that I get so much joy from Frank's misfortunes!

    At least we know "nasal spray" won't be a problem going forward. Expect to see him back at his usual 160 now lol

    Warren is better off without Saunders.

    Saunders doesn't fight anybody, and is too inactive.

    He has only had 4 meaningful fights his entire career and is now 29.

    He only has himself to blame for that too

    The negativity towards Billy is unbelievable, as per usual. He's an unbeaten two weight world champion, currently holding the WBO supermiddleweight title. You'd think he never won a title and racked up several defeats the way people go on in here.

    He's had inactive spells in his career and plenty of meaningless fights because of that. However, at 29, he has one of the best resume's in British boxing - Spike, Ryder, Eubank Jr, Lee, Monroe Jr, Lemieux. Solid names. He's missing that career defining win but has years left in the game to get it. He's a young man at 29 like.

    I believe he'll sign for matchroom and it's the perfect time to do so. He has lots of experience now and trains full time under Davison. Eddie has plenty of pull around the middleweight/supermiddleweight divisions and he's a big fan of Billy Joe Saunders. Good things on the horizon here.

    People get annoyed because they can see the talent.

    When you are that skilled, David Lemieux being your best win as you are about to turn 30 isn't good enough.

    I imagine people will be nicer if he sorts himself out and starts to take some serious fights.

    Just because he's never lost doesn't mean people should like him more. I've far more time for the guy who loses having taken the biggest fights than someone who fights a lot of average opposition and stays unbeaten.

    Yes he's a two weight champion, but any serious boxing fan knows his super middleweight title is a joke and at middleweight the only names which matter are Canelo and Golovkin and he's fought neither.

    To add, as a bloke he's an absolute ringpiece, and he's a drug cheat. I don't understand why you find it so difficult to work out why people don't like him.

    I reckon he would rather have Warrington and Yarde than Saunders at this point.

    You go on about Tony Hayers having an agenda against Fury but you have an agenda that is pro Saunders and Fury that's just as strong. Yes Saunders is a talented boxer with a few good wins, but he's also wasted a lot of his career, is very unprofessional and comes across as a right mouthy, cheeky arsehole chav as well, to boot. There's really not much to like about the inactive gypsy bully billy boy.

    And of course Dubois. All 3 of them have potential and just go about their business quietly.
