Being on a British forum they are relevant you massive Canadian tool.
Hey, if your country gets this excited about two guys who aren't even top 20 in their divisions, good for you guys.

Relevant? Yeah, I guess if have nothing else to hang onto. I'm not really convinced that GGG, Cotto, Quillin, or hell, even Jermain Taylor are shaking in their boots because of these two bums.
We have a very deep love and historic link with prizefighting in this country and the fact that you do not understand this shows that obviously in your own country, you do not. What kind of shallow and vacuous fan of a sport is only interested in the top echelon of fighters at world level? The Lonsdale, Common wealth and European belts are as interesting and valid reasons to match opponents as any of the other "world" trinkets and a case could be made to say that the British Lonsdale Belt outstrips in importance even these. Yesterday in successfully defending (and thereby winning the right to own) the Lonsdale belt for the third time Saunders made History in becoming the first traveller (gypsy) fighter to do so. Bearing in mind the huge part travelling booth and other bare knuckle fighters played in establishing the sport then that is a pretty significant event. Add to the mix the brash, cocky but untested son of an even more arrogant and eccentric former world class fighter and it is not difficult to see the appeal.

If you are so enamoured by America that you really think Quillen and Taylor are leagues above these two then you are simply deluded and grasping for reasons to once again slag off and dismiss this country. Calling them bums just confirms your ignorance.
