If you were Saunders would you face N'Dam now or Lee/Quillen in the summer?
N'Dam-Saunders Ordered By The IBF For Vacant Title - Boxing News
The IBF have ordered the fight to happen. However Saunders is likely to the shot in the summer against Lee or Quillen after taking step a side money. If you were him would you scrap that plan and take on N'Dam? Saunders is in a very nice place to be in right now.

If Saunders doesn't take the IBF route it's looking like it's N'Dam - Soliman for the vacant belt.

Sure is, all three of the potential opponents are tough fights for him.

I don't think he could do both to be honest but I could be wrong.
Re: If you were Saunders would you face N'Dam now or Lee/Quillen in the summer?
Saunders is a good fighter and I definitely under rated him but he beat 4 unbeaten fighters in a row and took on Junior when he did not have to.
BJS should take the easiest and most lucrative route which would be Lee.

Him and ndam is a 50/50 fight. Saunders probably would be favorite if fight in England. Hed be fav over Lee too. Quillin be a tough fight but I give Saunders a good chance here too, Quillen is nothing special

Ndam would probably be easier then Quillen though and hes more likely to have to fight him then Lee. Also cant see Quillen coming to England

Recent Saunders interview not watched this yet
Re: If you were Saunders would you face N'Dam now or Lee/Quillen in the summer?
He should fight N'Dam and he's gotta think he wins that , no disrespect to N'Dam, but he's not gonna get a better chance. Then he'll be a World Champion and he could fight who he wants, including a unification fight with the winner of Lee/Quillin.
Re: If you were Saunders would you face N'Dam now or Lee/Quillen in the summer?
After listening to that interview it's pretty obvious he's going down the WBO route.
Re: If you were Saunders would you face N'Dam now or Lee/Quillen in the summer?
I think all 3 of those guys beat Saunders handily myself, as would a good few other 160 lbers. It was a decent performance to scrape by Eubank Jr(Who lets just forget had never fought a live body beforehand:rolleyes:) but why do people honestly give him such a good chance against people who can genuinely fight a bit over 12 rounds. Could be wrong, I just don't see him as being very good.
Re: If you were Saunders would you face N'Dam now or Lee/Quillen in the summer?
The interview was done before the IBF announcement.
If I was Billy Joe i'd do the lottery this week.
Re: If you were Saunders would you face N'Dam now or Lee/Quillen in the summer?
Its not often in this game that a man has 2 opportunities at the same time. The risk here is that if he loses the Wbo may figure out a way to shuffle the deck and he'd miss out on the Lee/Kid Ovaltine fight. I'm sure they are banking on Lee. On the other hand should he win he would immediately double his purse for that now unification showdown.
Tough call

He's in a great spot. A Lee fight in the UK/Ireland is the most lucrative. But if Lee loses to Kid Ovaltine, as @IamInuit refers to him, which is a distinct possibility, then the Lee fight won't happen.
I assume that if Saunder loses to N'Dam he loses his mandatory spot for a fight against the Lee/Kid Ovaltine winner?
I actually think N'Dam is a tougher fight for Saunders than Quillin. Saunders can box, but he doesn't hit that hard. N'Dam can box too, and is faster than Saunders, but doesn't have a great chin. Quillin is the worst boxer of the three, but has the biggest punch. Saunders has a chance at an upset against Quillin if he boxes and moves. I'm not sure he can box and move against N'Dam. Therefore, I might wait out for Lee/Kid Ovaltine winner.
