Golden Boy say they have a HBO date available for December. Unfortunately, Saunders (like all Warren champions) only fights once in every blue moon so two months from now is obviously not going to happen.
However, it's a good matchup if it does happen. Saunders has the slickness to make Lemmy miss but can he make him miss over 12 rounds?

Saunders needs to fight again this year or he will pack on loads of weight over Christmas.
He needs to have that champion mindset and not concern himself with Furys position and stay close to ingle..in the gym.
Saunders must stay busy.
Yeah, if ever a fighter needed to stay active it's Saunders. Not just a fat lazy bastard when not in camp but his style relies on sharpness/reflexes/timing, those guys always slip worse than anyone else once they lose a step
No excuses here. Saunders was talking about a fight in December, and he's been spouting off about Lemieux on Social media being a coward.
So let's see now.
Hope Saunders takes the fight and it is worth the risk because stylewise it will suit BJS to face Lemieux. Should he win, he can ask for a bigger share of the pie when he faces GGG.
Saunders should easily out Box Lemieux but I hope the Canadian lands a left hook and just ends the pikey
I do not think it will be easy for Saunders and it will be the best opponent BJS has faced in his career.Quote:

I think Lemieux wins. BJS struggled with Lee who IMO is about on par with Lemieux. The difference is that Lemieux throws a lot more punches.
Eubank would smash Lemieux in my opinionQuote:

Saunders needs this consistency or it will all fall to pieces.
This is his prime years and as a tricky southpaw he has alot left in the tank.
Forget GGG and Canelo and get on with your career and proving yourself.
Good to know however this thread is about BJS and Lemieux, Jr is in a completely different division and will be for at least another two fights so he has no relevance at all.Quote:

For what it's worth I think Andre Ward would smash Lemieux...so would Usyk
Joshua would smash Ward.
Ward would smash Eubanks. (Good fight)
Eubank would smash Brook.
Good style matchup here....slick classic hit and don't get hit boxer vs all action pressure combination power puncher. I think BJS should take a decision, but I am hoping for the Canadian to achieve his potential and knock out Saunders.
@Master said that Lemieux is the best person Saunders would have fought but I disagree and think Eubank is better. Not sure why you’re bringing up Fantasy fights between retired fighters and cruiserweights but whatever floats your boat.Quote:

Of course he would! Eubank’s Conor doesn’t own towels, whereas Brook’s corner loves to throw in the towelQuote:

I bought up a fantasy fight between and retired fighter and a cruiserweight because they have just about as much relevance as your post where BJS of 2012 apparently fought Jr of 2017.
I think Saunders beats Lemieux on points and I think the version of Eubank that’s BJS beat also beats LemieuxQuote:

You just do not rate Lemieux because Golovkin beat him.Quote:

You only rate him because Golovkin beat him! The guy got put out by Rubio FFS
Lemieux has improved and beaten good opposition in spectacular fashion.

C-? Meeeh, he's a solid fighter he's just not gotten over the hump when it comes to title fights of which he's had 1 sure he's got 2 other losses, but a fighter can stumble and still end up being really good.Quote:

But to each their own
The middleweight divisions is weak. Benth the top three (Canelo, Jacobs and Golovkin) the rest of the division is shit. Look I’d love nothing more than to see Saunders out cold on the canvas but Limeux ain’t the man to do it.Quote:

That left hook against the southpaw is a perfect match for the KO.Quote:

Maybe but I just think he out boxes the slugger in a boring 12 rounder. Hopefully we’ll find out! No chance Saunders gets in with Jacobs who would push his shit in (look I can give GGG’s opponents credit) :biglaugh:Quote:

Well Saunders said he would fight December so this would be perfect fight for him. A high profile, KO artist big in the USA on his record would sell well against Golovkin/Canelo.Quote:

Saunders wants Khan, I’d love it if Khan UD’ed him and took his title. That’d be the ultimate embarrassment. Calling out Khan is a pussy move and it shows what kind of fighter Saunders is (bitch)Quote:

Lemieux is better than some people on here give him credit for. And BJS needs to make sure he stays in shape and makes weight properly.
I'm always an advocate of "a Boxer beats a fighter" , but I'm not sure if BJS will be able to keep Lemieux off him for 12 rounds.
Saunders best bet is that Frank puts his money in his pocket, makes Lemieux come over here as the challenger and robs Lemieux on points.
Doubt it’d happen here. Lemieux can sell in Canada more than Saunders can sell here (I could be wrong) it seems Saunders is defending in small hall shows and after seeing his last fight I’m not fucking surprised
Well if it happens over there , Lemieux takes it , probably on points , maybe stoppage. Too busy for BJS.Quote:
