BJS is just like Fury, many fans are starting to not care and consider them completely irrelevant in discussions about their divisions. I used to laugh at the Saunders stuff and show mates segments of his interviews, now I just cannot even be arsed to watch him talk more and more pot calling kettle black rubbish.
I cannot believe I have commented here, I care literally that little

But at least Brook kept busy defending his belt and eventually signed up to a big fight against someone else, Saunders looks unlikely to do either any time soon, which is frustrating.
But at least Brook and Khan hasn't already happened yet.
BJS has already fought Eubank Jr and beaten him. What's this obsession with fighting him again?
Yeah, exactly!

He doesn't seem up for fighting anyone else.

He should have fought on the Smith under card. That's a massive stage and he'd look good against Stevens or Rosado.
Now he's left staring at his wall watching everyone else fill their boots (but Jr). Tough spot to put yourself in.

Saunders claimed at one point that Eubank jr was so bad, that if did not stop him, he would quit boxing, well people who understand boxing know that Eubank jr is not rubbish and Saunders has not retired, he is still talking the same crap, though has Eubank gets better and better, Saunders criticism of Eubank jr gets more ridiculous, I firmly believe that if Eubank jr wins the world title, Saunders will still say he is rubbish.
That's the thing, Saunders won the fight and has been obsessing about the rematch. If anybody should be desperate for the rematch, it should be the loser.
Says a lot about how profile is more important than anything else in boxing.
It sure does, he is at the front of the line, yet worrying about a fighter further behind him.

Jnr will deal with Langford handily and the clamour for the rematch increases.
For all BJS chat he will have been out of the ring for possibly a year or more by the time the rematch takes place. Not a good starting point against an improved dangerous opponent who took you all the way first time out.

Agreed. After the Andy Lee fight he had the opportunity to continue to grow.. He kept Andy at bay for a lot of the fight with just his movement which was a delight to see.
If he returns to the ring to fight Jr, having to first get rod of his excess weight and then get himself sharp enough it's going to tax him a lot - and I can't imagine with the personality he's showing now he'll have the mental energy for a fight with Canelo or GGG.
