Owed Warren at least one big fight where he could eat because Warren must spent loads on him these last years, paying him world champion money whilst fighting in leisure centres etc
Did he fight in a leisure centre, Tony? You never ever mention this, if I was you I would shoehorn that fact in at every opportunity. He’s a mint fighter, that’s my subjective opinion. Obviously you don’t think so because know you don’t like travellers
The sad part is that the Lemieux performance was a glimpse of what could be with BJS, I'm as guilty as anyone of gong on about it because whatever Lemieux 's flaws, he's got real power and BJS schooled him in his back yard.
Problem is though I think the only big fights Saunders can be in are as the away fighter. I think the best ticket sales he’s done as a headliner in the UK are about 4,000.
Has to go with Hearn and all the fights that could unlock for him. Don't want to see him in with a soft touch anymore.
I do agree people wank over that lemieux win a bit much. And the way they say callum Smith wouldn't be able to land on him, like he's pernell Whittaker. He's been tagged by most people he's fought, including that Albanian who had him on ***** street last fight. Callum has great timing, speed, power, inside,outside, good chin. He will honestly just try and do a galahad and leap in with a counter then clinch for dear life then claim a masterclass if he does fight callum.
He's an utter dick but as a boxer well worth watching, the big problem is he hasn't fought many people worth watching him against recently. Needs to get in the ring against some fo the top opponents and being a dick and bully in real life
During the Boxnation days, Frank badly needed Saunders and to be fair Billy did appear to have been loyal when others ran to Sky/Hearn. Also, if I remember correctly, I think Billy might have been patient on occasions by waiting for purses when Frank was in difficulties. In the BT era though, as you said Saunders has been nothing but a liability. Constant pull outs, inactivity, poor ticket sales and all the personal issues etc. It’s the right decision for both - Frank has got Dubois, Yarde, Warrington etc to focus on who are actually assets and not liabilities. I’m also interested to see what Eddie can do with Saunders.
That's just pathetic to be honest. I don't like Tyson because he's a boring drug cheat. I don't like Saunders because, well, everyone hates him him. Every other traveller you could name isn't someone I've ever really had any problem with. Akin to saying someone who doesn't like Joshua and Haye is a racist.
Didn’t see that coming but good move imo I still think BJS is a knob but good fighter so will get his big payday soon with Hearn. Fwank must be fuming but hey ho there’s no loyalty in boxing nowadays.
