Yes Saunders is to put it politely is not the nicest of individuals and that is being very very polite. However many of those we view as great boxers be that La Motta through to Mayweather have 'tarnished' reputations regarding for example domestic violence. As individuals outside the ring such acts in my opinion make them scum, however as a boxing fan i judge on what they do in the squared circle, neither Canelo or BJS are untarnished individuals re drug tests so neither are angelic. I based purely on the matter of the boxing hope for BJS to win. Whatever the outcome i just hope it is legit and free from controversy, boxing has had too many dubious outcomes that shows our sport in a bad light.
Never used to like either bloke, Saunders for his unsavoury behaviour out of the ring, Canelo for the stench of foul play that follows him around and the manner in which he cheated Golovkin out of the win in the first fight. But I like Saunders as a fighter, and will admit he can be pretty funny. Also difficult to dislike a fighting gypsy. Canelo won me over after the Smith fight, his performance in which I found very impressive. I'll be rooting for Smith as the underdog.
My primary focus is for a good fight but typically when Canelo is involved I’ll root for him to win, he’s one of the few fighters who will actual defend his title instead of just sit on it meanwhile guys like Saunders are billed as 2-weight champs and have never fought or beaten a legitimate champion ever.. If your a fan of boxing and not just fighters then you should root for Canelo unless you want a bunch of defenses like the last 5years of Saunders career
Heart wants Saunders, Head says Canelo. If GGG couldn't dominate Canelo, I knew Canelo will now have a legendary run. Say what you want about him getting gift decisions, that resume is ATG
To win he needed to KO Canelo, he didn't this and therefore had lost. Nothing wrong. Natural process, younger fighter, tickets seller. When Canelo will get older, he too will lost unless he will not retire in time. Canelo too is nothing special, nothing better than GGG, just younger than GGG and with good fanbase. Canelo as boxer is nothing much better than GGG, will see how he will box when he will be 36 y.o. I don't care who will win. Maybe I will read some comments, fight I will not watch. I'm not interested to see them.
I want Saunders to win. Watching with one of my sons and one of my daughters who both want Canelo to win.
