Jacobs vs GGG is a tastier fight if you ask me.

What makes you think that? That's not Saunders' style at all?

Jacobs is a bit chinny and I think he would end up getting taken out earlier than Saunders, but he's got a mix of speed and power that BJS lacks, and would be more dangerous while he's up.

You sure? I'd suggest that he had a right good go at Andy Lee.

The main problem with BJS is that i'm not convinced he has improved since his win over Eubank

BJS was picking his spots with counterpunches against Lee if I recall correctly. Even when he dropped him he didn't get particularly aggressive, and by the next round he was back to moving and countering, which he actually did quite well before slowing down around the midpoint.

According to this week's BN Saunders will be fighting either Rob Brant or Artur Akavov on the Fury card. Well done if you didn't need to "Boxrec" their names - you're officially hardcore.

I reckon he wants no part of GGG, but feels backed into a corner he cannot get out of without looking like he has ducked the fight.

Oh fvck, I'm a casual

I know Brant, but will have to BoxRec the other guy.

BJS might fight GGG but it will only be for the money, he doesn't believe he can win.

Billy has skills and is a quality boxer but he doesn't have the power to deter GGG in the slightest. He also has a crap engine so he won't even be able to win by boxing on the back foot because he will gas late on and get smashed to pieces.

Eubank and Canelo are the only fights at MW that I'm interested in seeing Golovkin in. Other than that he needs to step up a weight.

lmao I've just googled Akavov. He's somehow an even worse opponent than Max Bursak.

If he fights any of these two schmucks he needs to hand back his world title.

Any word on what's next for BJS with Fury-Wlad off? Getting close to a year since he won the title....

Theres no excuse for him fighting nobody decent, the same with Flanagan, meant to be World Champs, fight top 10 guys

sarcasm, surely

As soon as GGG confirms a fight, all the others come out and claim they wanted him..

Warren has announced that BJS will be fighting on the Cardiff show. He hasn't announced the opponent yet.

Yes. I think Saunders will step up. Either before or possibly after defeating CEJ, again.
