    A fully fit and motivated Saunders has a chance, but I just don't know if that Saunders exists anymore.

    You can't be lazy at the top level like Saunders has.

    Also, Canelo is BY FAR the best fighter Saunders has faced, while Saunders isn't the best fighter Canelo has faced.

    Bro this thread is Soooo funny look let’s be real here’s pretty much everybody at 160/68 is a cherry pick for Canelo because unlike these other guys he’s actually a GREAT fighter and these other guys are pretenders looking for a check mostly. I can’t name one other fighter that’s really been tested by fire vs all types and styles so none of these other so called Champions currently are going to beat him.
    Half these guys wait for a title to become vacant due to politics instead of trying to win a title in the ring anyway so why would you favor anybody like that against Canelo anyway..
    Personally Charlo sucks, Andrade sucks, Saunders sucks, Plant sucks, Smith sucked,ggg sucks, jacobs sucks, benevindez really sucks too on an individual level Canelo ain’t gonna get credit beating them he gets credit because he more than likely will fight ALL of them and beat them meanwhile none of them may never face another one of the guys I listed.

    I used to think Saunders was all wrong for him , but Canelo is impressing more and more up at 168 while Billy has been doing nothing.

    There was a time at 160 when Saunders would have boxed rings around him but its up in the air now

    now that the fight is scheduled, im already seeing the transition of saunders from ducked fighter into cherrypick.

    I did the maths, lots of highly complex statistical analysis was required and many ancestral spiritual readings conducted through Deontay Wilder.

    The determined result was 32.48%.

    Should Tyson Fury be present for the ring walk this boosts up for a whopping 38.9%

    1-BJS has a belt.
    2- Canelo wants all the belts @ 168.
    3- Canelo must fight other fighters that have a belt @ 168 to accomplish his goal.

    Class dismissed :ciao:

    I think that Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders is going to turn out to be a very great fight, maybe even a strong candidate for fight of the year.

    Little Stevie Saunders, walks his dad into the ring. He immediately attacks Canelos nuts, with a flurry of punches. Taking Canelo out of his game plan.

    Saunders by domination, won't lose a second of this fight. I've been saying it for years, even when arguing with the people who said Lemieux would KO him, and my mind has not changed. Saunders like Fury, knows when adn how to rise to the occasion, and he does what it takes to win. Any fighter with good movement and a good jab, gives the still relatively flat footed plodding Canelo hell. He struggled with Kovalev, he struggled with Jacobs, he struggled with GGG, and he'll struggle mightily with the incredibly fleet footed Superb One.

    So on May 9th, Saunders will be the P4P best in he world. Deal with it.:deal:

    Saunders will trouble Canelo for about the first 4 rounds or so , Canelo will then figure him out and will start punishing him, Saunders will try to mitigate the punishment by spending the rest of the fight in retreat mode, occasionally taking a break by clinching whenever Canelo gets too close.

    "Figure him out " hey this is Clen boy not Floyd or Lomo or Sweetpea . He can't out IQ Saunders...his corner maybe , patience & seeing if Saunders starts chugging 7th onwards .
    If he doesn't then Saunders wins...if real judges are present & the ref is a Mills Lane type , oh if only!

    Saunders is a fat sloth and is going to get his ass kicked. Boring. If he was as good as some say he is, he wouldn't be on the undercard of YouTube bums.

    You clearly underestimate Canelo's ring IQ/Intelligence.

    Why so angry all the time? You probably just need your cherry popped.

    Just seen a interview on You Tube current, and Saunders asked a bod in the background " how much I weigh " the guy replied 14st 7 lb !!!!!
    wow, he could fight at HW ! Lot of weight to lose no ? keep well.
