    Default Saunders v Jacobs the fight to make as GGG v Canelo II co-feature? WARREN v HEARN

    This seems the logical fight for both and hopefully it gets made!
    Both great boxers and hard to split so i'm currently on the fence.
    Can it be made and who you picking?


    Billy Joe Saunders facing Danny Jacobs in the co-feature on May 5th to the imminent rematch between huge rivals Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez has to be the main goal for the division moving forward.


    A super event at the impressive T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas featuring the four best 160 pounders on the planet could represent a mini tournament and see the winners fully unify the weight class by the end of the year.
    There's only one stumbling block and it's a big one...
    The big question is...can Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren work together to bring the fans a huge event?
    Both sides are at loggerheads in the media on several levels and continually give candid interviews dismissing the others efforts and achievements.
    So how could they bury the hatchet for the spring? I'm afraid only Hearn and Warren can answer that.
    Saunders is in limbo as Golovkin and Canelo prepare to put it all on the line once again in May, leaving only one solid option in Jacobs.
    As Hearn represents Jacobs following a deal signed earlier this year, Warren would have to open talks with his main rival in a bid to put together the effective semi-finals.
    Another option could be Jermall Charlo, although working with Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy operation again would also seemingly be off the table.
    The Charlo brothers were brought to the fore by GBP and De La Hoya, only to jump ship when Al Haymon set-up his own stable with Premier Boxing Champions.
    Should Warren - as expected - avoid sharing an event with Hearn, it seems probable Saunders will head back to the UK for his next title defence if he intends to stay in the GGG v Canelo mix.
    A further option would be moving up to 168 to chase a rematch with Chris Eubank Jr. should the Brighton man see off George Groves and Callum Smith in the World Boxing Super Series tournament.
    Whatever happens in 2018, Saunders has firmly enhanced his reputation with what was the best performance of his career as David Lemieux had no answer for the 28 year-old's skill in front of his home fans in Canada.

    He won't move up for Eubanks jr.

    Who is BJS Mandatory?

    The most important thing for BJS is staying busy..waiting for May 5th is too long...he needs another fight in March.

    BJS is the A side with Jacobs and that won't go down too well with Hearn.

    Saunders needs to be fighting the elite non stop from now on as it brings out the best in him, not sure on his mandatory but if it can be pushed aside for a Jacobs fight then he should go that route.
    Would Love to be a fly on the wall if and when Warren and Hearn are sat across a table "negotiating"

    Yeah BJS definitely needs to stay busy, I think that Ingle would be a little concerned if BJS has to wait too long for his next fight, it sounds like they have a good relationship at the minute (almost a father son sort of thing going on) Ingle has already said that he can have till mid January then he wants him back in the gym training.

    This would be great if it actually happened but to be honest, I’ll be a bit shocked if BJS steps up and fights Jacobs because it’s such a dangerous fight. If he loses then he loses his opportunity at the GGG bs Canelo winner.
