No way can you say Eubank has improved since. He looked better against Chudinov then he did against Saunders because Chudinov is a far worse opponent than Saunders.
Its a close fight so its not worth it when he is the one risking everything. He is due a world title fight and might as well hold out for that. Its comical that you suggest a number 1 contender face a dangerous prospect just before his world title fight.
Im not the one suggesting it. You think im the promoter here?;DQuote:

for Lee to fight the former champ, and now he's waiting to fight Lee ,!!!!!!! strange how things
work out, it does seem there is a balls up in the best laid plans of mice and men.;)
Saunders is well aware of how close the first fight was , so why would he risk a title shot to fight Eubank ?
The more Eubank's stock rises the better Saunders win looks on paper.
I'd pick Eubank jr to win this time. Btw , anyone hear that JM Marquez fought last week?
Saunders cant do the rematch because he will lose his mandatory position by fighting Eubank who is the intermediate WBA holder. Eubank doesnt want to relinquish his belt and Saunders, get this... Doesnt want to lose his position sitting round on his ass with nothing to his name and no still with more of a guarantee of a match with Lee at the end of it.

Frank Bruno waited inactive for 18 months before he fought Tyson in 1988 , it isn't the first time its happened.
He may feel Lee is an easier fight than Eubank and a chance to hold a world belt and make some money.

Eubanks can't be too keen on fighting Saunders
Has anyone told Eubanks that he isn't a proper World Champion? Personally I see no reason for this fight to happen at the moment anyway apart from making money (predominantly for Frank Warren,). The whole thing is a joke and I hope it doesn't go ahead.Quote:

saunders beats him again anyway. but let him have a title shot first, you know eubanks wouldnt give the rematch had he won the fight. :rolleyes:
Flip the coin and its Saunders who doesnt want Eubank. Although its a nothing title it still means something within the WBA and im hoping will get Eubank in with Jacobs. Saunders and Warren are using this as an excuse to save face for sitting out waiting probably just to be made to wait again.Quote:

I agree with Ross on one thing, this fight bores me. I'd be very happy to see Eubank get a shot at Jacobs, if he beat him , he can be taken seriously.
I think both fighters have got to go and enhance their reputations by fighting other people , not each other. And then , when they've done that and there's a proper belt or 2 on the line, the fight will be worth a fortune to both of them.
