Saunders-Lemieux Ordered By WBO
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?

Re: Saunders-Lemieux Ordered By WBO
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.
Re: Saunders-Lemieux Ordered By WBO
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
Re: Saunders-Lemieux Ordered By WBO
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.
Re: Saunders-Lemieux Ordered By WBO
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.
I bet BJS does not take it but I hope he does.
Re: Saunders-Lemieux Ordered By WBO
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 opinion
Re: Saunders-Lemieux Ordered By WBO
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.
For what it's worth I think Andre Ward would smash Lemieux...so would Usyk
Re: Saunders-Lemieux Ordered By WBO
Joshua would smash Ward.
Ward would smash Eubanks. (Good fight)
Re: Saunders-Lemieux Ordered By WBO
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.
