    If Lemeiux connects with a big one Billy will be landing on Frank's lap at ringside.

    Billy is a good boxer but all this inactivity isn't doing him any good and we saw last time how he got a gift against Akavov

    BJS will find a way to get injured before the fight and still call GGG out at every opportunity.

    Watched the video with him and Chisora messing about with IFL Tv. By the sounds of it, BJS has been keeping busy (fighting wise) the gypsy way.

    He's one of the few world class fighters we have in the UK. I'd expect him to wear Lemeiux down for a late stoppage/UD.

    In my mind Saunders beats Lemieux rather comfortably but can anybody be overly confident after his last fight/performance?

    Lemieux can really punch, he would be a live underdog.

    Saunders needs to wait until Golovkin knocks out El Pollo, then a big money fight can be made in UK with Saunders for the four belts............

    Dangerous fight for Saunders as Lemeiux can take you out with one shot.
    However like most punchers David has trouble with slick boxers.
    Saunders pound out a close decision just wrong style for David.

    DL has had trouble making 160 as well, I'm pretty sure his last fight was at a catch weight I may be wrong though.

    Is their any substance behind these rumours that BJS will fight Lemeiux next? I'm sure I read some where that Frank said it's unlikely to happen. I don't think they will want to take any chances until they land the Canelo/GGG winner, that's by far the biggest fight out there for BJS.

    Watched the fight between Saunders and O'Sullivan last night on YouTube, seen it before but not for years. O'Sullivan barely landed on him and got hammered in return. When you think of how many O'Sullivan landed on Eubank, wobbling him on one or two occasions, you appreciate just how good BJS defensively as well as offensively.

    Cassius asked Warren about Lemieux twice in a recent interview. Warren quickly changed the conversation topic both times.

    BJS just wants to cash his golden ticket in now. What's another 3 months of holding the belt to ransom to fight the winner of Canelo / GGG?

    The annoying thing is if BJS lived the life and had been fighting top class opposition this past 2 years, then I'd give him a good chance against anyone. After the inactivity and 'training' in Marbella, my expectations from him are at an all time low.

    Suprised to see some people saying DL is a live underdog. I'd make him favourite against a guy who's largely inactive and only has one good win. BJS has a solid record but he hasn't kicked on now for ages and just seems to be letting the months roll by. There's several good fights for him but he doesn't seem to want to take them/pursue them.

    Styles make fights and you can imagine Billy slipping and sliding and keeping DL off balance but if someone like Akarov can catch him then so ca DL and if that happens its night night

    I think a fight with Lemieux would be a mistake for Saunders, he should wait and fight Golovkin for big money.................
