    Good fight and a harder one for Canelo than Smith would have been. Canelo didn't take the easy way out and should be commended for wanting to fight the best.

    That's one thing about Canelo, he always takes the challenges, almost like he's obsessed with it. He didn't have to fight Trout, Lara, or Jacobs, and now Saunders, but the man likes his challenges.

    Much credit to Canelo for doing what his counterparts will not.

    Low risk fight for Canelo. He can’t lose on the cards and BJS is not a KO fighter. I smell another questionable decision in the making. No worries, Canelo’s fans will blindly celebrate his victory no matter what happens during the fight. I’ll watch it and complain afterwards, like I do.

    I thing Canelo snaps him in half.

    That said, I’ve no disappointment in the opponent. He’s as good as Canelo could pick. And he’s a style that most say would cause him problems.

    Waiting for the details — a catch-weight or secret rehydration clause will most certainly be in effect. Clenelo loves handicapping his opponents. Guess Clenelo is done cycling, too.

    Sounders is already down on the scorecards.

    :lol:

    Good fight, I have been waiting for this one for a while. BJS will get up for this one and is the tougher style for Canelo from most of the other options that we mentioned before. Can't wait to see how Canelo deals with the slick style.

    Aren't you the idiot who suggested that Canelo weighed more than Kovalev on fight night a day or two ago, trying to discredit Mayweather's win?

    So ask yourself, how would a catch weight or rehydration clause benefit Canelo but hurt Saunders if Canelo is weighing more than an established LtHW?

    Mods, can we implement some kind of IQ test for this forum to weed out the dumbasses?

    Clenelo the Catch-weight King has a history of PED use and crippling rehydration clauses. Remember when you praised Clenelo for not having a rehydration clause in the Kovalev fight only to have to explode in your face? Not the kinda face soak that you're used to, unfortunately.

    Try running it by the forum again how Clenelo isn't a dirty drug cheat and how he didn't leave VADA testing.

    Idiota!

    This is pretty much it, imo. Saunders fights to his level but Canelo makes it close enough to be argued his way. Any fight like that you know Canelo is winning.

    Would have liked this fight with Ingle in Billy's corner rather than Ben Davidson. I hope Ben proves me wrong.

    Both guys are good boxers but have failed drugs tests technically I understand though there might have been mitigating circumstances.

    True fans of the sport have the right to dislike any fighter they choose.
    It can be due to PEDs or cherry-picks but still they too are “TRUE” fans of the sport. If only all of us were as wise as you:calimero1:

    Man I hear you. When he cut weight to fight Killer Khan that was so risky. That James Kirkland fight had me in fear that Canelo might get killed inside the ring and the way he didn’t drain Cheeseburger Jr and then took on Killer ROCKY
    FK bru Canelo always takes the hard road:duh:asskisser:asskisser
