Saunders sounds like a gutter snipe.
Good fighter but almost everyone agrees that Eubank lost more than Saunders won and Eubank actually does now have the higher profile as he has fought and won in style since while Saunders sits around and hopes Lee wins.
Its a shame that OSullivans team have made daft demands to get out of the fight as it would have been an interesting build up and only further raise Eubanks stock.
What were the daft demands? Not to commit to a 3 fight deal with Warren?Quote:

If Sullivan beats Eubanks then his profile would be raised and he would deserve the money he would be asking for?Quote:

Exactly, hed be the champ and should be getting the majority of the purse but Warren doesnt want to pay him. Whole things stupid. It should just be a once off fight which was agreed. No need for all these extras.Quote:

Looks like Lee and Quillin might rematch. This would give Saunders a tough choice. Rematch Eubank and risk losing or sit around and wait.
They can talk as much as they like about a rematch, but it might not necessarily be for a belt . Saunders is mandatory and stepped aside once. The governing body won't let it happen again.Quote:

Surely they'll make Lee-Saunders in the summer with Eubank jr - who will get the winner - as chief support.
Probably...............and please don't call me Shirley! ;D;D;DQuote:

Put Eubank in with GGG.
GGG has bigger fish to fry like Willie Munroe Jr;)Quote:

I actually think after another couple of fights he would have a chance at beating him. Right now he would at the very least give him a good fight.Quote:

I would like to see him get the Saunders rematch. He still needs to learn to use his jab better. Against Chudinov he more out toughed him and worked harder than out boxing him and hes still got that to learn. He will learn nothing in his next fight which has the potential to end in the first.
I think Warren will rethink the opponents for the next show, maybe even cancelling it all together and either putting on a WBO interim fight for Saunders with Eubank possibly facing OSullivan or better try and get Jacobs. Id keep them apart a bit yet.
They may end up rematching on the potential Klitschko v Fury bout.
