All this fella wants to do is hold on to that belt for as long as possible without taking a fight. Looking forward to him getting beaten by Eubank / GGG or any other decent MW.

Gabriel Rosado was saying the same thing at the weekend. He just wants it as some jewelry for his house.

He's already beaten Eubank once and as a result Eubank has turned down the rematch multiple times.

Saunders is a very good boxer, has the size to give GGG a decent scrap. He says he'll fight anyone but hasn't fought anyone since he got the belt. I expect a few easy defences, he'll probably wait for GGG to get a bit older.

If GGG is poor he may give him a half decent scrap. Saunders squeaked past a very poor Andy Lee. These lads are just not anything approaching special. Him being a WC is embarrassing.

Just beat him. Since the Eubank has improved. Saunders hasn't and is inactive. Eubank turned the rematch down due to finances. Rumoured that Saunders was pricing himself out of the fight but it enables to say Eubank turns him down. He also just beat Lee as well and refused him a rematch as well.

Saunders is a decent boxer but lacks the power to stop golovkin walking him down.
I don't get why he turned down the chance to face rosado on the canelo undercard tonight, he claims rosado is only a journeyman.
The same rosado who if he wins tonight is favourite to land a big money fight against canelo in December.

The guy will get cleaned out inside 2 rounds if he goes near GGG, Canelo. Would also not back him in a fight against Lemieux, Jacobs, Eubank, or Stevens. Not really sure he would beat Tureano Johnson, Andy Lee, Peter Quillin or Willie Monroe Jr. either to be honest.

He lives in a world all in his own mind, he gassed badly against Eubank Jr. and alot of people feel he lost that fight.

He did beat Lee, albeit in a tight and pathetic fight. They were like best mates tag sparring.

Yea not sure how a rematch would go is my point really, fairly confident Eubank would turn the tables though.

Cant really say Eubank has improved since the saunders fight , he's been fighting part timers and guys saunders had previously beaten 2/3 years earlier.

Saunders claims injury again - his fight is 'postponed' .........

For the love of god, surely has to be stripped now! Beyond a joke at this stage.
