    Saunders can make Canelo look stupid if he puts his mind to it. His biggest problem is his temprement and motivation.

    Tricky southpaws like Saunders are hard to figure out once they find their rythmn and are in a groove.....

    Remember Calzaghe?

    Nobody is making Canelo look stupid these days. Especially not Billy in his current form.

    His best wins are Lemieux and Eubank, Jr. I haven't seen anything he has done that says he beats Canelo.

    Any version of Canelo beats any version of BJS.

    Canelo is better in every department, I think Canelo stops him late or a wide UD in which he drops BJS in the process.

    Key words are current form. This stems from a lack of motivation. For a Canelo fight he would turn up much like Fury suddenly turned up against Klitschko.

    Bookmark this page and quote me when the fight between these two happens.

    Saunders can't knock him out and he has little chance on the cards in Las Vegas. GBP are not going to let him screw them twice.

    Billy Joe vs Lemieux version would be a slight test for Canelo. It was Billy's best performance in quite some time, but that version of Saunders would still not get a decision vs Canelo

    I don't see Saunders knocking Canelo out, which means he'll have to win a decision; and seeing as Canelo effectively refuses to fight anywhere outside Las Vegas, and with the understanding we all have that it's expected to be a close fight, it's a guarantee Saunders won't get a decision unless he utterly humiliates and schools the Mexican (which is unlikely).

    So, basically, Saunders needs either;

    A) A venue outside Vegas, maybe even the States

    or (assuming he can't get it outside Vegas)

    B) He needs to knock Canelo out

    As I don't see either of those happening, it's a shame to say it but I don't see it ever happening.

    Billy Joe won't want to risk his 0.

    Canelo UD. Saunders cant KO Canelo and Canelo is fast and good enough to be competitive no matter what happens, which means he gets a UD on those sweet, sweet Vegas scorecards. Saunders vs Canelo is basically a cash out.
