    No doubt? Lol

    Outside of fantasy world you need to prove you're the best by actually fighting the best.

    Hell i'm totally unbiased. But even I admit that Saunders would probably be a slight favourite vs Golovkin in Vegas at this point actually

    You know damn well that Saunders is a TERRIBLE style for Canelo to have to deal with.

    I was very impressed, and I'm at least no longer doubting Saunders. But I'm only going to say he outboxes and schools Golovkin. Golovkin needs to be set to punch and attacks too straight, Saunders will be throwing then quickly moving before Golovkin can throw. It'll only take a basic gameplan, and Saunders will always be a step ahead. I don't care how little resistance there was tonight, that Saunders' speed and legs and mental focus was as good in the 12th as the 1st showed a lot, and doesn't suggest he'll leave lapses for Golovkin to take advantage of.

    I think any other matchup between Golovkin, Canelo, Jacob, and Saunders is close however. Saunders is far and away the best mover in the middleweight division, but Canelo and Jacobs bring other qualities, and won't be so easy to box and land against.

    :lol: I knew he had the skills and the gypsy slickness to out box Lemieux, and I fully expected, seeing as he's been with Ingle about 5 months or so now, that he would be in the best shape ever, even better than he was for his last fight which was the first time he's actually been in close to proper shape, but I still didn't expect that kind of performance from him. I genuinely thought Lemieux was going to catch him with something huge at some point and really put his whiskers to the test like never before. In fact, I wanted to see it happen just to see how he reacted to it. But he absolutely schooled him for every single second of the fight lol.

    :lol: Lemieux isn't that good. Some of you overhyped him because he KO'd bums. He has no boxing ability, and no ring IQ, and his athleticism sucks. So what he KO'd Curtis contender reject Stevens. He wasn't good. Saunders gets beat as soon as he steps up his level of opposition.

    I don’t understand all the love for Jacobs. Pirog totally outclassed him before sending him into a state of rigor mortis. A few fights later, he suffered a heavy knockdown against Sergio “punching power of a Latin Snake” Mora. Then he received a “close” conciliatory decision loss against GGG. He laid an egg against Arias.

    Canelo beats him easily.

    I've been saying for a long time that Lemieux is one dimensional and is a very limited fighter.

    He's a one trick pony that has been solved for the 4th time now.

    I'm a Lemieux fan, but I'm real. You're a glorified troll.

    I also like Saunders after tonight. Proved he's not a C level fighter, may even prove to be the real deal.

    BJS is talented and in top form could possibly beat Jacobs or Canelo, but this fight proved nothing. Lemieux has always been garbage at the top level. He can punch, but that's it. BJS stamina would let him down against GGG, who would apply effective pressure the whole fight.

    Lemieux wouldn't be a top 10 middleweight most years of the 90s, that is a fact.

    Show me a troll post of mine or stfu.

    The only reason you're a glorified troll is because of your mod status, because MVC and Pacroid put your trolling skills to shame.
