    Really hope this gets made although it's very dangerous for bjs. I like lemeiux he's regrouped after defeats and just got on with trying to improve.

    Very good fight this, proper contrast of style. If Saunders isn't properly prepared then he loses this. A fit BJS toys with Lemiuex though.

    This would be a proper title defence for BJS. Lemieux is a big puncher and if BJS comes into this fight unprepared he'll get knocked out. Hopefully BJS will be fit for this though.

    Great fight and surley easy to make as frank is working with Oscar who obviously has Lemeiux.

    I can't see it though, Lemieux is too powerful- BJS will find a way out of it.

    Fan of both but obviously BJS is the better boxer I think Lemieux is cruelly underrated on the forum.

    Have a sneaky suspicion that Lemieux gets rid of him.

    This is an exceptional fight. If Eddie put this on we'd be praising him. It's a great test for Billy and perfect preparation for the winner of GGG/Canelo. I think we'll see the best version of Billy win and exciting UD.

    If this fight gets made with a competitive undercard coupled with GGG v Canelo, it's a fantastic PPV. Better than any matchroom ppv I can recall.

    Lemeiux has one serious left hook from all ranges/distance. If you bjs isn't fully prepared it's lights out. I'd like to see Billy winning it with skill and bottle ie taking it to lemeiux in and out and breaking him up rather than running and not committing. It's all very well using skills to not get clipped but positivity and aggression combined with feet and defence creates legacys. It also sends a proper message to future opposition

    I think Lemieux will knock Saunders out, but after Golovkin knocks El Pollo out, he wants to fight Saunders in a big money fight..................hopefully Golovkin will not get cheated like Kovalev was, Vegas is a very dirty, criminal place to fight................

    I don't see the fight happening. Somehow BJS will swerve it. It's too risky.

    Agreeing to fight golovkin doesn't make me think that Saunders would swerve Lemieux

    It's the payday against Canelo or GGG that Saunders doesn't want to risk. After he gets that payday I'm sure he would fight Lemieux.
