    Saunders is licking his chops...Its only a matter of time (time is on his side anyways)

    He senses its the right moment to conquer the GGG empire, he seems to want to do it while GGG is still near his peak to get maximum credit...

    Can Saunders be the first man to defeat GGG?

    This fight is a 50/50 fight now?

    With solid amateur background like GGG, he would have seen most styles so there is no way Saunders is going to school GGG.
    I think GGG is on decline but I still favour him over Saunders.

    GGG is a 60/40 favourite against BJS if it happens next year.

    Even though he is now in advanced years, his footwork and power are still severely under rated by many people. And lets not forget BJS doesnt go for the kill, and if you dont take your opponent out when you have the chance to, that lack of killer instinct is going to bite you at some point in your career.

    Is Saunders able to school Golovkin? I'd say no. Is Saunders able to expose him (as a little bit overhyped)? I'd say rather yes.
    But will this fight happen in 2018? I'm not sure, because the Alvarez rematch is expected, then Golovkin also has a mandatory (Derevyanchenko) waiting.

    If he beat Canelo, he'd be allowed to skip his mandatory by unifying with Billy Joe.

    Would be a hell of a fight. GGG knocks him out within 10.

    Yes pretty much this,no doubt Saunders would be getting him at an operating time as nobody can beat Father Time and Golovkin has slowed up some but as you say Golovkin has seen it all and where GGG differs from just about everyone is that if he doesn't rate the opponents power he's quite prepared to eat a few shots to get his own off and that's where Golovkins success lies.
    Billy Joe Saunders is good enough to cause anyone problems with his boxing ability but Golovkins very smart and works folk out so when he last faced guys with some slickness like Monroe and Kell Brook what does he do?not saying Saunders would fall for this but against those two he eats their big shots giving em confidence that they can hit him at will and that's when it's all over folks as then he's dragged em out of their plans and into his domain which is all out war and nobody survives against him in an all out war which is why we saw Jacobs and Canelo win rounds off him.
    Not often I agree with James 5000 but he's said for a while that Saunders does well against Canelo and possibly GGG,in my mind Canelo won't go near him as he's all wrong for Canelo.

    Overhyped by who as his peers,journalists and media all love him on account of his style and mean streak in the ring I'd say,not forgetting that he's dominated the division for years and in his pomp was avoided by all in his division(Lemieux aside)after seening some chinks that Brook a welterweight found only then did those who matter find the balls to face him which is fine and how it works but then because Golovkin wins on points against the top opposition and that his opponents got so much credit for just going twelve rounds some as you said here have said he's been overhyped lol.
    GGG set a standard with his run of knockouts that we've never seen before as usually even against lesser competition someone boxes above their ability and said guy would have an off night(just ask Degale)it happens a lot but Cause Golovkin just decemated everyone when he stepped up and went twelve rounds but still wins on points this is not ok apparently and have we ever seen the losers get so much credit for surviving twelve rounds?

    I didn't say he's overhyped, actually. My point is some people say he's overhyped (a little bit), some say he deserves it. So BJS will be a great test for Golovkin.

    With a combination of age and slowing down, its a level playing field now for GGG. A few fights ago Billy didn't want to know, now like the rest he wants GGG for obvious reasons !

    Golovkin is underrated and Oscar/El Pollo knows it. That's why Oscar owned the judges, referee and boxing commission, and do not forget, Oscar's favorite judges Byrd is still judging fights! I hope she gets booed whenever they announce the judges at ringside.............Bob Bennett chose her, claims she is the best judge out there, she appears to be either corrupt or insane! She needs some new glasses, but really Teddy Atlas was correct about Bryd. Teddy said that Byrd would be right back to judging fights and he was right! I found that out directly from Bob Bennett himself! Does anyone think she is the best?

    Oh I know I understood where you coming from,playing Devils advocate I guess as we now seeing the same re Lomochenko,so funny how some folk see em,GGG has had this for years and now Lomo with regards to em having to move up divisions,my take on it is these haters are actually Unknowingly praising em as they're effectively saying they beat everyone in their own weight class and so have to move up because of it,latest example lmao is that Lomo has to move up another three weight classes to face Terrance Crawford I mean have you ever heard anything as ridiculous lol?

    I have to agree. Lomachenko is the best at 130 lbs., I want to see him fight the other champions in that division, then if he feels it's time, he can move up to 135, but that is still a lot of weight for his body frame. In the old days nobody had to move up, Hagler stayed at 160 lbs. his entire career, so did Monzon and so very many others, there are weight divisions for a reason..................I don't want Lomachenko to move up until he is ready if he can carry that much weight, he just moved up from 126 to 130, he hasn't had time to get used to 130 yet. Tell Crawford to fight Golovkin at 160 if that's the case.......................why not Crawford vs. Joshua? Lomachenko haters want him to keep moving up until he loses a fight, that's what they want, like Trump, cheat................I think they will be wanting Lomachenko to fight Joshua next..................would not surprise me at all....................there are weight divisions for a reason..............the cruiserweight division was created to make the weight difference less. When the Klitschkos were the champions at heavyweight, all the haters wanted to create a superheavyweight division, but now they are not saying that anymore.......................how did that change? The extreme hatred for Eastern European fighters, that's why........................Lomachenko is a very skilled fighter, the most skilled in boxing history, yet the haters claim he can't fight at all, the same ones were saying that Lomachenko would get knocked out when he fought Rigo, after Lomachenko out boxed Rigo, they are yelling that Lomachenko fought a smaller fighter, etc., what happened to the Rigo knockout? Those predictions were right here on this board, and esp. on YouTube! Angel Garcia said that Rigo would run over Lomachenko, had no chance, Danny Garcia picked Rigo, Duran and so many others. Dante's boxing picked Rigo, ad infinitum.............sour grapes for sure!
