OK, I’m technically struggling to quote your entire lengthy post, so I’ll defend my words instead.

However, the fight fell through due to a contractual dispute between Queensbury Promotions and GBP.
This sentence is correct!
Fwank Warren had attempted to negotiate a deal with Oscar De La Hoya that would involve Billy Joe Saunders appearing on the undercard of the Canelo-Smith bout, which was subject to certain conditions, with a view for the WBO champ to face the winner of that bout:
• Queensberry Promotions would pick the opponent
• Fwank Warren paid for Saunders’ purse, but would receive financial contribution from GBP to pay for his opponent’s purse
• Golden Boy had to guarantee that the winner of this fight would be next in line to face Canelo
Here are the reasons why Fwank Warren declined to allow Saunders to face Rosado:
• Billy Joe had not committed himself to agree to fight on the Canelo-Smith undercard
• Gabriel Rosado was picked by Oscar De La Hoya and was not included in the list of opponents that GBP & Queensberry had originally discussed. Fwank Warren was actually supposed to pick the opponent, but he wasn't given the opportunity
• GBP’s contribution towards the purses of Saunders & Rosado was insufficient, resulting in a greater financial outlay for Queensberry Promotions
• Golden Boy Promotions refused to provide a written guarantee that the winner of the Saunders-Rosado fight would actually be next in line to face Canelo
Coincidentally, Willie Monroe Jr. replaced Saunders and faced Gabriel Rosado instead, with the bout being promoted as the winner being Canelo’s next opponent. There are multiple YouTube videos of Monroe Jr. and Rosado explaining the importance of their fight, due to the financial benefits of facing Canelo. Even the TV commentators and the media had covered the very same narrative.
And guess what happened? Willie Monroe Jr. defeated Gabriel Rosado, but never received a shot at Canelo! I guess that’s the consequences of not requesting GBP’s promises to be committed in writing.

This sentence is correct!
He may have been injured multiple times throughout various stages of his career, but I only commented on the injury that caused the longest layoff during 2016.
verlichte wrote:By the time Saunders eventually made his first defence of his WBO title, he had endured a twelve months period of inactivity, so he needed to face an “easier” opponent to rid himself of any ring rust.
This sentence is correct!
Your comments related to this point are inaccurate when you claim that Billy Joe always prefers to face easy opponents “when possible”.
Saunders has defeated Chris Eubank Jr., Andy Lee, GGG refused to accept the June 10th fight and the Brit is defending his WBO world title against Avtandil Khurtsidze in his very next outing.
verlichte wrote:Unfortunately for the Brit though, GGG declined the bout, preferring to wait on the side-lines, due to K2’s reluctance to risk losing the September 16th Canelo super-fight. Simply put: Gennady "lost his pen".
This sentence is correct!
Your feedback on this particular matter does not undermine my comments and nor do I agree with anything that you've said.
verlichte wrote:After all the time-wasting caused by Tom Loeffler, as well as GGG’s indecision, coupled with the significant financial outlay to Fwank Warren's company… Billy Joe Saunders is now contractually-obliged to face Avtandil Khurtsidze on the 8th July. And if he manages to successfully defend his title for the second time, he will be in line to face the winner of the Canelo-GGG super-fight
This sentence is correct!
Fwank Warren claimed yesterday that he wants Billy Joe Saunders to appear on the GGG-Canelo undercard, with a view to the Brit facing the winner of the super-fight.
Just to educate you on all the facts, here are the timelines in chronological order for what has actually occurred during the Golovkin-Saunders debacle:
• 17/12/2016 – The Golovkin-Jacobs fight is officially announced
• 24/01/2017 - Billy Joe Saunders announces a "game-changing fight" that "the fans will genuinely love", which will require him to "travel", not to the "US" but in his opponents' "home country"
• 07/02/2017 – Fwank Warren announced that middleweight contender Avtandil Khurtsidze would be paid a six-figure step-aside fee, including a shot at the interim version of the WBO middleweight title, to allow Saunders to pursue “a major fight next”
• 13/03/2017 – Billy Joe Saunders claims that he could face GGG “very, very, very, very, very soon”
• 15/03/2017 – The media reports that June 10th is the date set for the GGG-Saunders fight, with Tom Loeffler refusing to confirm the speculation
• 17/03/2017 – Fwank Warren announces that if Golovkin defeats Jacobs then he wants Saunders next
• 18/03/2017 - Gennady Golovkin scores a decision victory over Danny Jacobs
• 19/03/2017 - GGG challenges the Brit to face him in his native Kazakhstan
• 20/03/2017 - Billy Joe Saunders claims that his team commenced negotiations for the GGG fight before he had even faced Jacobs (as per his comments on the 24/01/2017) and that they have already agreed the financial terms of the bout, but were simply waiting for Golovkin's signature
• 21/03/2017 - Oscar De La Hoya claims that Team GGG have to be more fair about contract negotiations based on the financials of the Golovkin-Jacobs fight
• 24/03/2017 - Oscar De La Hoya claims that a June fight between Golovkin & Saunders is disrespectful if they also hope to make the Canelo bout in September, due to the possible risks of injury to Golovkin and also reducing the time available to promote the super-fight
• 25/03/2017 - Billy Joe Saunders urges Golovkin to stop wasting time and take the fight
• 28/03/2017 - Billy Joe Saunders issues a deadline of the 31/03/2017 for GGG to agree the fight
• 29/03/2017 - Abel Sanchez claims that Oscar De La Hoya's threats are one way to say that they don't want the GGG-Canelo fight
• 29/03/2017 – Fwank Warren claims all the terms of the GGG fight have been accepted, but Golovkin has ten days, which is a deadline of the 08/04/2017, to sign the contract
• 30/03/2017 - Tom Loeffler claims that his team intend to make the Saunders fight, because nothing is signed with Golden Boy
• 30/03/2017 - Tom Loeffler denies knowledge of deadlines imposed by Saunders & Oscar De La Hoya claiming that an announcement would be made during W/C 03/04/2017
• 31/03/2017 - Billy Joe Saunders reminds Golovkin to sign the fight, offers to loan him his pen and also publishes the text messages he received from Tom Loeffler that proved the delay was caused by Team GGG
• 06/04/2017 - Fwank Warren informs the media that Team GGG is claiming that an injury to Golovkin is delaying the signing of the fight
• 07/04/2017 - Abel Sanchez clearly and adamantly denies the existence of any injury to Golovkin
• 11/04/2017 – The media report that GGG is declining the opportunity to face Billy Joe Saunders and will face Canelo instead.
So we know for certain that Saunders had already agreed the terms, the date of the Golovkin bout and also signed the contract, with his promoter (Fwank Warren) going as far as paying the WBO’s mandatory challenger a six-figure step-aside fee and also orchestrating an interim-WBO world title contest for him (as compensation to allow Billy Joe to face Golovkin), but GGG’s pen somehow went missing!
I refuse to criticise GGG for preferring to face Canelo instead of Saunders (he did "
lose his pen" though), but I will criticise K2 for making promises to Queensberry that they ultimately refused to fulfil, which caused Fwank Warren a considerable sum of money. Tom Loeffler is wholly responsible for this.
The rest of your response in relation to my original comment is irrelevant, since it doesn’t directly address the facts at hand.

Like I said before, you shouldn’t insult people without expecting to receive some sort of retaliation. Your actions have essentially granted me permission to offend you about anything you say.
