Didn't he move up after he got popped for PED's? He's just not dedicated enough to make 160, had he have been active and dedicated I'm sure he would have fought much of his career at 154. Hes inactive, doesn't look after himself and has never fought anyone the calibre of Canelo. Saunders won't see the final bell, can see Tibbs pulling him out late on.
I definitely think he can go the distance, I just think that he'll be in survival mode for the second half of the fight and just looking to land a speculative lucky punch or combo, it won't be enough.
Optimistic to think it goes to the second half of the fight. Yes Saunders may have more skills than Callum Smith but Smith had a bit of power to slightly deter Canelo. People saying Canelo hasnt got monster power but Saunders power can be described as powder puff. Do you think the current Martin Murray does better than Yildrim last night? He definitely doesn’t which helps to show the levels between the two.
I think Saunders has got a decent enough chin on him and boxing IQ to make it to the end, I'm not saying he definitely will but I'd say that the most likely outcome is a wide points win for Alvarez.
Saunders is a special fighter, even he doesn’t realise how good he actually is, he would’ve had an amazing career at 154/160 if he was dedicated, he’s never a super middleweight and that might take away some of his attributes a little bit, but this will be a hell of a lot closer than people think if Saunders has a good camp, trust me
. These people only see what they choose to see. No doubt the reply will be "the better the opponent the better billy joe will turn up" or "bill fights to the level of his opponent" something along those lines.
I mean, they’re not. I thought Fury would be Wlad and I don’t think Saunders will beat Canelo. What category do you place me in?
Wlad was old and hadn't fought anyone decent in almost 5 years aside from Povetkin, Canelo is in his prime.
It isnt just 1 crazy card though. That one certainly took the heat but took at the 114-114 card, it was shocking. Also let's not forget the 114-114 he got against Floyd. 117-111 Against Lara. 1 judge had him 3 rounds up against Khan. He was ahead on the cards against Kovalev. 118-109 against trout, there are probably more It's more than fair to say judges are, at the very least, lenient towards Canelo.
