AS far as BJS-GGG - Why would he turn down two million quid? Even if he loses he can come back.

You have to take into account that Billy Joe is only 26.

He can have a few fights over the year to make that money in fights that he would start favourite. It's all very well saying it doesn't matter if he gets bashed up. But it does matter in reality. There's no guarantee a beaten fighter will get back to the top after being knocked off.
Big Dog, you're rationalizing Saunders' decision to duck GGG. Fine. But, let's call it what it is: a blatant duck. He was offered $3MM U.S. to face the perceived best in the division in a unification fight, enough money to make most fights in the entire sport worth it. If he avoids GGG, he shows his true colors. All this nonsense that he is a traveling man and fighting is in his genes is pure bullocks.
