I would like to see him fight GGG.

I think he's likely to be in with a soft opponent next though.

What's the point in fighting GGG so soon? Surely the best thing to do is slowly progress not fight the best in the division who is top 3 P4P

And then if he turns the fight down tell everybody that Eubank was offered the fight but didn't want it !

Well, he did before. Now Billy holds all the cards, can't see English taking less. No point going over old ground anyway. He schooled him the first time round.

Why does the best thing for him have to be what I want to see? I'm not his manager, trainer, promoter, or fan and don't care much about him taking things slow to progress and put money away before facing elite opposition.

I would like him to fight GGG because the latter is a favorite of mine and BJS is one of the best MWs out there (who also has a belt that GGG could grab--getting us closer to an undisputed champ).

Fair enough, I would rather BJS get more world level experience before fighting GGG though as it would make the fight more competitive and interesting for me.

What's next should be enlisting the services of a decent nutrionalist, eating and living like an athlete and dropping to light middle. He carries far too much useless weight around with him. He weighs in at 160lbs, his body fat is at a generous estimate 15%. He could therefore lose 5% body fat easily without losing any strength which is 8lbs taking him well inside the light middle weight limit.

He looked in a different weight class to Lee tonight a superb boxer but he does not need to be fighting at middle weight.

Saunders and Eubank and co will engage in a never-ending PPV round robin 'major title fight' merry-go-round.

None of these men will or want to fight GGG.

Once again the WBO middleweight belt will enable a generation of British middles to have a turn at being 'world champion' without having to endanger themselves against THE MAN.

15% bodyfat :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: behave yourself.

Sure he could trim a bit but he is not even close to 15%,

What is with all this talk that he needs more world level experience? If he needed that he should have got it before this fight. World Champion is meant to suggest you are the best in the world and ready to meet all world challengers.

No offence to Billy Jo, I like him, I really do but Golovkin would absolutely muller him. If his team have any sense they will steer well clear until they are pretty much forced into the fight.

Next fight, Eubank re-match, surely?

I've been saying exactly the same since he turned pro. He's too fleshy and if he's got an ounce of sense he'd drop down to LMW. I can't see him fighting any of the top lads in th MW division anyway so why stay there..
