Billy Joe Saunders suspended

[Nightmare Roy]

Has there ever been a boxer with a lower IQ?

What is wrong with this muppet?

I’d say Adrian Broner probably just beats him.

[JamieM]

Controversial but I am totally against it. End of the day every single one of us knew he was kidding. How many of us will have a bottle of stella and refer to it as wife beater? How many of us have referred to a long term relationship and said get less for murder? It's off the cuff remarks and Saunders although stupid hasnt committed a serious crime. It's all about tolerance for humour, comedians are paid millions and say alot worse. Hes being punished for his personality. He cant change who he is, hes a joker and more than likely has something underlying like adhd. If he had assaulted someone or a women then yes, commit a crime then punish him but he hasnt. I'd much rather someone be themselves, now media trained within his team and making him donate cash to charities etc to manipulate a system. Just not into fake stuff, bbbofc need to stick to there job, sanction and govern it, let the police deal with crime, allow anti doping agencies to deal with drug cheats. Bbbofc speak about acting with integrity but end of the day they act with anything but, they would sanction my gran to fight AJ if the money was right.

It's off the cuff to set up a camera, and film yourself punching a heavy bag while describing how you can KO ya shawty? Dunno, sounds like he thought that out with as much brain power as he can muster

TBh, I'm not too up in arms about this in particular, it's more like his collective showings of stupidity that make me have little sympathy for him

Plus wasn't there already discplinary actions/suspension/investigation or whatever for the addict punch thingy? A suspension not really a surprise is it. He's already got the apologies out, maybe with a bit of mens mental health added in like before it won't be much of a deal, maybe Bill really does this all because he's sad and he doesn't think his ma or pa loved him, in which case you gotta feel for him

To be a boxer you kinda have to be a bit nuts, these guys are punched in the head for a living and are expected to be top class gentleman. I'm sorry but boxer have an edge and guys like Anthony crolla are a minority. Josh Taylor is a bit wild and not someone you would wanna cross but hes media trained and prior to recent events was looked upon as a saint.

I amnt justifying it but I cant help but think that billy joe is being hounded and hes making it easy for them. Talented man.

Billy Joe is an idiot , of that theres no doubt ,, he's a bully , maybee not physiclly , because i doubt even he is stupid enough to lay his hands on someone , but he's a bully never the less , he's a wanker ,, and he's not all that bright .... However he also thinks he's a bit of a comedian , but he's not smart enough to be a comedian ,,

Was this a stupid video , yes it was , but lets have it right if , it was Stan Boardman , or Spike Milligan , dressed in a superman suit , showing how to ko your wife if she gets lippy ,, evetyone would think its hilarious ,,, The bbbc stepping in here is really just show boating ,, i've no doubt , a sorry , a couple of grand out of his 8 million dollar purse with Canelo plus a few photo's for them to show there kids , and he'll be back to normal ,, after all Tyson is'nt a BBBC liscence holder is he , and whats more Billy does'nt need to be to fight in vegas ,,, personally i think the BBBC want to take some serious legal advice , before they start suspending people in a position to tell them to go do one , and sue back on the basis of restriction of trade ,,, its a narrow ledge there walking and one day someon will call there bluff with a lenghty law suit and damages .

If Saunders is the answer, when would I cheer on Eubank and Canelo is the question.

You pretty much are justifying it, and yes he makes it easy for the board and fans. He has done for 12 years withrepeate brainless and offensive behaviour.
WBO on his case now also.

[JamieM]

Not at all, educate him dont restrict a way to make a living for his family, the bbbofc are playing god with fighters, it's a minefield because it's almost as if they forget that they work for the boxers not the other way around, the boxers provide the service and the bbbofc provide the insurance almost. This is the problem with one sanctioning body, they believe they can just do what they like. Ot reverts back to the scott Harrison case, there answering to themselves and contradicting themselves. Scott Harrison has the right go rehabilitation the same as anyone in life, yet the bbbofc have made the choice they have made, I have zero doubt scott harrison can protect himself in a ring more than freddy Flintoff and most journeyman or even massive ticket selling prospects but he isnt classed as valuable to them and hes almost been used as an example.

[Fray Bentos]

He thinks he's funny - I don't know who's told him that - I suppose the only link to comedy he has is he looks a bit like Lee Evans but he is about as funny as nuclear waste outside your front door.

[Delta Jay]

He’s a numpty. Don’t over complicate it.

I agree

Time and place for everything, you prob need to be a bit of a snowflake to be really offended, but nowadays with celebrity, social media, being in the public eye etc you have a responsibility to be seen as a good influence, and if you can't do that keep a lid on it!
Saunders should at least be punished for stupidity, how the hell did he think he would get away with it?

Boxers aren't natural scumbags like you seem to imply, I say this as a former HUGE Billy Joe fan but he's not a 'joker with an edge' he's a reprehensible and disgusting man. Hypocrisy from the BBBoC? Of course, but I'll shed no tears for this scumbag. It's not like he's a youngster either the guys gonna be 31 soon time to pull his fornicating head in, this is far from the worst thing he's done but he is clearly unrepentant about any of his actions, heckling homeless addicts into assaulting people, encouraging his son to go around hitting people and thinking people will find all this funny. Of course calling out this scumrat behaviour makes people 'too sensitive these days', no, he's just a rat and would be no matter what era he was born in.

BJS problem is that he comes across very very unlikeable. So even if he's getting a raw deal, he'll get no sympathy. He was obviously joking in the video. I found it amusing and the reactions have been over the top but when you have an unlikeable personality that's what happens. I remember back when Mayweather was asking Pacquaio to agree to blood testing to make the fight happen and you had virtually everyone coming out and saying how disgraceful Mayweather was and how he had no right to ask for the tests etc

[mickey1975]

Always thought it was Dimlo? Ironic if I had that wrong all these years

I used it because it's a traveller insult, but yeah you can see how you could get it wrong because you'd call somebody 'dim', wouldn't you, so you would be forgiven in thinking it comes from there.

A quick Google here you go: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dinlo

It isn’t up here. Dingler is used a lot.

wtf is amusing about a boxer making stupid jokes about beating women? It's pathetically unfunny, especially from someone who fights for a living.

I have to say, I strongly suspect he's got a subnornal IQ, even by his own standards, this is catastrophically I'll advised. Doesn't he have any mates to go "bloody hell bill, turn it in, this is a bit much."

I mean if you go to the trouble of making a video of it, you can't really complain you're being hounded can you?

Exactly that, it's not banter in the pub with your mates

I agree totally - I have never been able to listen to him for more than a minute before switching him off...

His mates probably find it all hilarious

I suspect he’s got some kind of personality disorder, definitely got zero self awareness.
