    It's not objective to suggest that this fight is worth waiting for?. Your mental illness will forever block objectivity in your world.

    To beat canelo you have to knock him out and there’s no chance Saunders does that, there was a time when Saunders could make it hard for canelo but the levels they have been competing at have been worlds apart, canelo can find the way to get to anyone, and with bjs he doesn’t have to be concerned with power or taking any real licks.
    Every time either of them are mentioned we should mention that they have both been caught using peds and if we do it enough with every fighter who gets popped then eventually it might make them think twice before they cheat.
    I hate that canelo is a cheat he was my favourite fighter for a long time and he let himself down and the sport.
    It’s nasal spray versus meat cheat

    Billy needs to beat Clenelo worse than GGG did to get the win. Not sure he has that in him, this is probably his payday.

    I just don't get triggered when people who don't look like me are better than people that do look like me. Really nice attempt at race baiting though

    Agree with the comments. BJS is up against, in no particular order:

    (a) a bigger punching, physically stronger opponent:
    (b) who's recently been busier in terms of both quantity and quality;
    (c) who has far better resources & people around him and is in better shape; and
    (d) who'll have the judges firmly on his side.

    I don't *totally* rule out a shock, BJS probably is the better fighter measured by certain 'pure boxing' metrics, but, I mean, he's never knocked out an opponent *nearly* as good as Canelo, aged nearly 32 & ring rusty would seem like an odd time to start.

    A giant step up from Canelo's recent opposition. I think it'll be a Lara/Trout type disputed decision in favor of Canelo of course lol

    Indeed. Canelo has the officials behind him more than any other boxer. Lost twice to GGG and got a draw and a win, was schooled by Floyd and lost an MD. There's more chance of hell freezing over than two of Canelo's judges giving BJS 7 rounds and BJS can't hit nearly hard enough to KO Canelo.

    No Canelo is going to decapitate Billy Jane Saunders. I think BJS is a gifted boxer and good but he is nowhere near Canelo’s class. I respect his Gypsy heritage but that is not going to help him against Canelo who Will brutalise him before he puts his lights out. The toughest fights for Canelo at Super Middleweight are Caleb Plant and Benaivides.

    Lara and Trout are better than Saunders.

    And by that do you mean a real Canelo win that will be disputed by his detractors simply because it's Canelo?
