    Grab a Webster's Jr and check the N section for natural. Read the words definition as many tints as needed for your pea brain to grasp what natural means

    We will see how it plays out, is Lemieux fit enough to keep the pressure on, will he lose some composure and start fatiguing hitting air early on. Will he land the blows to stop Saunders from throwing punches.

    I think Saunders has more ways to win than Lemieux and I think his punching power might be underrated here too. He dropped Lee hard, made Willie Monroe scared to throw back and stopped Fletcher far quicker than Jacobs.

    As long as Saunders doesn't pull up to Montreal in a caravan he should be good.

    Saunders is one of my favourite British fighters to watch. His footwork, judgement of range, hand speed, movement, the feints which make his opponents throw a shot and then get countered, are all excellent. It’s very difficult to land sweet on him, to use a cliche he rolls with the punch taking the sting out of it. He’s got a good chin too. I’m hoping he’s sorted his attitude out now and is going to dedicate himself to the sport. He’s let himself down in the past and been a wasted talent but if he can keep his **** together then he’s capable of winning more world titles.

    He does have more ways to win but does seem him putting it all together when he hasn't been able to so far

    You could call the Fletcher stoppage a British stoppage and Andy Lee has always showed poor punch reistence and Monroe was terrible that night but the results speak for them selfs

    Well, we know what Billy Joe is going to do in the prescense of David Lemieux: he's going to run, and hold, and grope. Billy Joe is going to do everything he can to keep the momentum of the fight at a standstill. In otherwords, Billy Joe is going to try to stink up the fight so bad that even his holding and groping start to look like "Ring Generalship" to those who can'r concentrates long enough to tie their own shoe laces.

    Let's admit it...Billy Joe and his style sucks. It's horrible to watch and it's bad for boxing!

    Surely a BJS win makes sense for the US corruption guys aswell?

    Surely an undefeated BJS vs GGG for all the marbles has a much bigger ring that watching GGG and Lemieux again?

    No...not at all. The trick is to get BJS out of any potential fight - because he is boring (his so-called style sucks and people hate to watch him). When BJS is in the fight, there really is not much money because people won't pay to watch the fight....so why not get rid of BJS forever?

    Seriously, my friends and I have never bought an Andre Ward fight and we're not going to buy any BJS fights - not ever....and I don't think I'm alone in feeling this way.

    I agree 100%

    BJS is as dull as ditch water to watch.

    After watching his last fight I have no desire to see him "fight" again or should I say "run"

    This is what I said yesterday. If Saunders wins but the fight is poor hbo will want nothing to do with him.

    If he pot shots to victory he can kiss a unification unification fight goodbye

    Problem is, he hardly ever does.
    And to really look great he would have to mix it up with Lemmy from time to time and not get busted up in the process... well, good luck with that Billy Joe.

    Surely the trick for these corrupt organisations and individuals is to make as much $$$ as possible? Hence scoring the GGG and Canelo fight a draw, despite a clear GGG win.....Allowing for a justified rematch.

    Personally i'm pretty sure GGG v BJS makes more money than GGG v Lemieux.

    Two undefeated fighters, for all the belts. BJS brings a more expanded fan base than Lemieux, the Brits.


    I just think you can make GGG vs BJS appeal to a wider and more casual audience, generating more cash.

    Er....where exactly has Andy Lee "always"shown poor punch resistance?
    That's just terrible nonsense in fairness.

    GGG is an average 160lber not even big for the weight. Your beef with him over the Eubank Jnr thing lol ?
