    The hungry rejuvenated version of Murata against Billy Joe at super middleweight. The Murata that fought GGG version. Who wins this bout and how?

    Murata I think. Saunders is the better boxer but I have the impression that his gaskets would blow out in the later rounds from Murata's pressure.

    Saunders before getting his orbital smashed in would have boxed circles around Murata, now though is a different story

    What I'm asking really is, who wins at 168 lbs,a Billy joe before the eye injury vs the motivated Murata that fought Golovkin?

    BJS, Murata is very slow and low output. I dont think hes better than someone like Andy Lee

    Being half Japanese I am biased but, BJS wins and then becomes a no contest after he tests positive for coke.

    Billy Joe barely beat Andy Lee, by a whisker. Murata would put Billy Joe through it. I believe Murata can hang with the best at 168lbs, maybe not win, but maybe he might. This would be a good match.

    Saunders would toy with Murata

    Murata is barely world class, and on top of that he struggles with guys that can move around and stick a jab in his face. He is getting overrated for giving GGG a tough fight early on

    With all due respect or as Canelo would say “with all my respect who cares?”.

    So what will Murata do when Saunders gets on his bike ? Nothing, because he's not that good. He's a plodder who comes forward to brawl and has already been schooled by a mediocre once before. Saunders is a quitter but Canelo is on a different plane to murata and Saunders did decent until Canelo timed him with an uppercut. Two different fighters.

    I like Murata but he isn't good. Who has this guy even beat ? You just hate Saunders for obvious reasons, of course coming from Olu it's nothing unusual

    With all my respect who cares? Billy Jane was not doing decent until Canelo bust his face. Why do I hate Saunders? Hate is a very strong word I don’t hate him but yes I do despise him. Him getting at Daniel Dubious for quitting against Joe Joyce saying he would rather die etc then capitulating in mor shameful manner against Canelo takes the biscuit. I don’t need to repeat the other vile things he has done here as they remain in infamy. He is irrelevant so let it lie.

    "Let it lie" lol You're replied to me referring to Saunders in a derogatory way did you not ? saying he's a quitter, but he fought Canelo Alverez, who is leagues above Murata at everything. Murata struggles with Movement. Saunders has decent movement. Murata is slow, slower than Lemieux most definitely. Saunders schools him.

    Saunders was doing good against Canelo, Canelo was figuring him out though. But like i said he wouldn't run against this problem with Murata. He'd outbox Murata easily and I'm more of a Murata guy. I don't even like Saunders. Im just looking at this fight Objectively.
