    @ 155 Canelo ko's a tiring zombie BJS late

    @ 160 BJS gives Canelo a boxing lesson, but may still lose on the cards

    Canelo has quicker hands than GGG but not on the level of BJS and he doesn't have the work rate to make BJS pay

    This is what Canelo vs Saunders could look like if Canelo has zero power at MW like I'm expecting.:D

    I for one would love to see Canelo vs BJS @ 160, not so much 155 though.

    Whats not to like about this match its a good one?

    This ^. It's actually a pretty good matchup - it won't be any kind of barnstormer but intriguing nonetheless. I'd lean towards Saunders except no way he gets a favourable decision if the fight's in the US - which it would be.

    This won't do much PPV in USA, terrible business decision. BJS is completely unknown.

    Lara as overrated as I think he is, is o a higher quality boxer than Saunders and based on his showings bs the elite I'd say Trout is likely on par or just above Saunders as well.

    As far as Canelo's power he's not a one shot type of guy more of an explosive accumulation puncher he's fluid enough to land some good leather on Billy who isn't a puncher. Style wise Susnders can make it interesting but in recent years most of Alvarez's opponents have tried the same game plan and outside of Mayeeather who is the greatest pure boxer of this generation all have lost. While that doesn't say who wins it does tell you that out boxing Alvarez is not as easy as it's assumed. I don't know why people assume one division is such a great leap to many of these new age GGG fans who act like it's such a big deal at this point Alvarez has shown to be a better fighter and as good a boxer as Saunders

    Canelo would be better off fighting Salido or Roman Gonzalez, now that's a smart business decision!

    Partial duck
    More turducKen then pure duck

    Nothing wrong with getting his feet wet in the division with a true middle weight champ then jumping ass 1st against the boogie man/monster of the division.

    Good tune up bout for kid cinnamon

    Maybe he decided he couldn't spare the internal organs he'd need to part with to make weight?

    Saunders is a bum. Canelo would beat his ass down.

    Another pathetic post.

    Hopefully GG fights someone of note?

    Yeah, that could and should have been Canelo, genius.
