    To be fair, at least hes admitting hes been a disgrace in terms of his conditioning and prep. Lets see how long he can keep it up. The lure of a 2am kebab from the local Turk is strong with this one.

    BJS calling out GGG. Uh GGG isn't a plodding, one dimensional fighter that already took beatings in the past Billy. You'd have your hands full, bloke.

    How did he hurt his left hand in round 2?

    Punching the air wall too many times?

    Hope ya'll who hated on Rigo for the hand excuse do the same with ol' boy Lemmie.

    So not the unofficial win where more than 2 out of 3 scored for him, but not the official win where only 2 out of 3 scored for him.

    Meh. Most people had G beating Canelo and Jacobs. To most people, Lemieux is his third best scalp.

    That being said.... I suppose Lemiex being your third best scalp isnt all that good either.

    Go crawl back under your alts Scourge. Canelo and Sanders are more than capable of beating each other. Canelo's resume doesn't warrant this above post clown.

    No but he's aging now, and Saunders has now made himself a presence on HBO and looked impressive beating up a known quantity - so now, a fight with GGG is higher reward for lower risk than it would've been in the past when it was mooted.

    I actually wouldn't be shocked if Saunders beat GGG. I mean a lot of people had Jacobs beating GGG. Jacob definitely has far more pop but Saunders has respectable power and I think he has better movement. What gave GGG the most trouble in the Canelo fight was Canelo's movement. The reason why Canelo did not clearly win and most had GGG winning is because Canelo could not keep up that movement and GGG outworked him.

    If he knows what's good for him, yes.

    BJS will be a tough out for anyone... he could.. could be Golovkin or Canelo for sure.

    I'm not a fan though... he's not a good watch.

    I get what you mean, but I had no real emotional investment in this and it was just kind of a soft boring UD. Nothing really had me jumping up and down saying wow, basically went down how I assumed it would

    I actually think BJS has a 50/50 chance of beating Canelo if he's given a fair crack on the scorecards by the judges but I still massively favour GGG to be too much for him

    GGG would make Saunders work every second of every round like he's never had to work before. GGG TKO 9

    Yeah. That's easily his worst performance. That BJS would have lost here no doubt...
