Think their just waiting to see which opponent can get time off work for the fight.

On a serious note BJS hinted he was fighting someone well known so if he isn't just talking nonsense. My half a guess I would say Lemenuix. But don't think theres been and actuall name drop yet.

Lemieux would be a good. It'll end up fuckin Tommy Langford or someone bollux like him.

He'll fight the winner of Langford and Khurtsidze. Hopefully Lemiuex gets made his mandatory after last night.

Can only see one winner tbh, he'll give Saunders problems too if he gets the opportunity.

Apparently Warren and Billy Joe will be ringside for Golovkin v Jacobs next week. In Warren's most recent article he said Billy Joe's future will be much clearer following the fight so my money will be on it being announced he's fighting Golovkin directly after the fight in June/July time.

Reading between the lines he fights Golovkin next providing Golovkin wins next weekend. Frank and Billy Joe are flying out to be at ringside and Frank all but confirmed it in his recent column.

Lemieux would walk through Saunders.

BJS is semi retired and will probably only have 2 more fights before he jacks - cashout twattings versus GGG and Eubank

Golovkin will retire him if it happens.

He'll still fight eubank again no matter how brutally GGG beats him.

I would love to see BJS vs Lemieux if the GGG fight doesn't happen.

Lemieux is limited, but he's one of the sport's elite punchers at the moment, and he's unlikely to spend as much time posturing as Andy Lee did. Even as a junior he was flattening people left and right in the amateurs, and not one opponent managed to last the distance with him at the Canadian nationals. He can pack loads of power into very short punches, as he showed last night.

You think? At his current level of activity it will be years away.

He defo wouldn't be congratulating Billy at the end of each round
