The next solid mw after Jacobs is Saunders. He's a slick, smart and very good boxer. It could be GGG's most difficult fight due of BJS's attributes. I'm eager to see this possible fight being made. :box:

Saunders is the worst stylistic matchup for GGG, if he is enough prepared.

I think so, as I just mentioned. Saunders has a negative fighting style with very good fundamentals which could create big problems to fighters like GGG and also Canelo.

Not worth a discussion, as the fight won't happen.

Probably but if it will happen then GGG deserves his props.

He will deserve more props if he faces Jacobs or a SMW champion.

Not sure how. GGG's ability to cut off the ring and out-jab his opponent is absolutely elite level. He won the Jacobs fight on his jab alone, according to those that had him winning.

Saunders can appear to be even more elusive, than Canelo in his 1st bout vs GGG.

No doubt that GGG has elite jab and footwork but he's older too. On the other side BJS has not have by far the work ethic of GGG even if he's the younger fighter. The question is how well BJS would be prepared.

He is an elusive fighter but frankly he didn't fight the bests in his division to make a statement. Also he's not known as a gym rat.

Thinking better this could be a 50/50 fight knowing that BJS is the kind of fighter that performs better against the better opposition (CEJr, Lee and Lemieux).

I don’t think the fight will happen also, since GGG is unlikely to sign with ESPN. Most boxing pundits are speculating about the likelihood for him to make the jump to the PBC or DAZN instead.

Then who could be realistically next for GGG?

Yes but he's undefeated and ranked as a top mw.
