Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders: Everyone Knows I'm Chasing Gennady Golovkin

[-PBP-]

I was going to go off on Billy Hoe but I realized I don't want to see this fight so I don't care.

I'm beginning to think he actually realizes that he's fighting for a small fraction of what the GGG fight would make and wishes he didn't turn it down for the Bukkake fight.

Did someone black jack this mutha? His promoter must have the best drugs on planet earth considering we live in the internet era and both pricing yourself out and saying the fight can wait both came out of your mouth and is plastered on every boxing site on earth.

GGG will probably fight Eubank Jr. if this ****boi ducks him again.

billy joe saunders quite possibly the most technically gifted fighter ever to emerge from the UK absolutely unbeatable on the domestic level the brits hate him because he's gypsy but the brits hate everyone not british billy joe saunders is the only fighter at the full 160 that could go the full 12 rounds with golovkin just to give you an idea how prejudiced the brits are they have the heavyweight champion of the world tyson fury and they hate him also

Do we? I like BJS - probably wouldn't go as far as anointing him the most technically gifted Brit ever, but he has good skills and is probably the fighter that I see doing best against GGG. I also don't hate Fury by any stretch nor does anyone I know - I just don't think he's very good.

... who's Gypsy and who's 'Irish traveller'?

I dig BJS. I think he can give anyone at 160 a competitive fight, even GGG, & I see him as a nice upset special vs some names in the future. Having said that sometimes we miss days at school & some info slips by us (til I was 10 or something I thought thick meant thin) & I think that might have happened with BJS & the word chasing. For sure there was a chase, but BJS was the guy in front being chased, not the guy behind doing the chasing.

That's the part that kills me - that the unified MW champ who's on most P4P lists is chasing other fights, not the other way around.

What happened to fighters wanting to fight the best? To challenging the champion?

I understand you want to get paid, but Golovkin's pretty popular and can offer a decent payday. He's not Floyd, but he's not Rigo either :-/

True. The shift in boxing from being the best to being paid the most for your level of risk is an interesting shift that has taken place over the last couple decades (imo) & seems about fully settled into place these days.
