    Actually, I suddenly realize what's going to happen with Canelo-BJS. The fight will eventually fall through and BJS will get stripped, granting Canelo the belt.

    If GGG had 2 losses on his way up he'd be just as shelved as Khurtsidze

    Agreed. He could afford an L better now just because he's HBO's best free ratings draw, and they won't want to give that up. On the way up, a loss or two would have crippled him.

    Canelo will avoid this fight like the plague. BJS will get himself right for next year.

    Smart business and boxing decision by the WBO

    The WBO knows Canelos the true lineal middleweight champion

    saunders has an iron chin and he's difficult to hit, he's a good counter puncher too. saunders had an off night against akavov after the long time out but a sharp saunders is a difficult fight for canelo, he's no liam smith...

    Canelo beats the BJS we saw a few weeks ago. BJS at his best ekes a decision out.

    :bandit: Between you constantly spouting "Lineal middleweight champion" and GGG/K2 should be thankful that GBP makes an OFFER... ALL FOUR OF THEM,

    :applaudit:You are a BROKEN RECORD !!! Time to change the tune.

    yep sadly true, the only way saunders wins is by knockout or complete domination, anything resembling a competitive fight will go canelo's way...

    El Pollo is the true Chickenweight Champion. He's undefeated as yet at that weight.

    true champions don't go from "we Mexicans don't **** around" to "here Gennady, your green belt as you demanded, all nice and gift-wrapped"
