    The narrative that I never say anything good about Fury is purely peddled by the same people who think suggesting I'm gay is a witty response.

    If we are going to compare like for like between Saunders and Fury then we have to accept that up until the Klitschko fight neither had fought at elite level, and Saunders in reality still hasn't. But whilst Chisora, Johnson and so on were not necessarily brilliant opponents, Fury did beat them without difficulty. Indeed, he was a narrow but clear betting outsider for the first Chisora fight.

    This is why 'fights to the level' seems so obviously nonsensical. Fighters have good and bad nights. Fury can look great against Wilder, bang average against Wallin, and great against Chisora, just as Saunders can look great against Lemieux, but somehow end up in narrow wins or just looking bad against just about everyone else. The weird thing is that whilst we don't pretend the Wallin fight is 'the real Fury' on the basis of what he did against not just Klitschko and Wilder but also Chisora, Hammer and so on, why pretend Lemiuex is 'the real Saunders' without all the other narrow wins, lost rounds and difficulty against Lee, Akavov, Eubank, Ryder and more?

    I'm only joking with you, relax.

    Good points above.

    He's realised he has no choice but to praise Fury now and he's moved onto his second hated traveller in Billy Joe Saunders.

    Saunders will shock the world, mark my words!

    I hope you're right but can't see it personally. I can't see him getting the KO and can't see the judges going against Canelo. Would love for BJS to get the win, how do you think he can manage it?

    He slips, slides and counters all night. His feet are much quicker than Canelo's. He'll be sharper and more switched on than ever before. This is the fight of his life!

    I know it sounds unlikely and even delusional perhaps. However, I've watched Billy closely from day one and I know that a fit, focused, sharp Billy Joe Saunders can give any man in history a tough nights work.

    My opinion of course and I'm not going to spend hours debating this fight. However, my prediction is on record and I'm confident and excited about it.

    I just don't see it.

    I think he will bank some early rounds whilst canelo figures him out. Everyone will be getting excited on the forums/comments etc a la Brook GGG. But canelo starts getting his eye in and getting his timing down, and really starts to chip away at Saunders.

    Late stoppage or pretty clear UD.

    Should be a good spectacle.

    Saunders chin is one of the most underrated in boxing. He's not getting stopped by anyone.

    Nope you are the idiot son.

    Nothing to do with using lemieux as a yard stick for canelo. We all know canelo is a superior fighter to lemieux. Just that I believe Billy joe at his best (which he probably was when he beat lemieux) schools canelo.

    So up your boxing knowledge game old lad.

    You've just proved you're an idiot with this post

    If it's nothing to do with Lemieix then why did you bring him up? You're directly using the beating of Lemieix as your rational for why BJS will beat Canelo. Dumbbbbb

    You start the post calling me son and then end it calling me old man haha you're all over the ****ing place

    Go to sleep, dumbass

    It doesn’t matter whether you think you’re right or wrong, you really cheapen you’re post by referring to people as dumb and idiots for having an alternative view to you.

    Since Andrade is a dazn fighter and Williams a Warren fighter u think Williams will have to go to dazn in order to get his shot or vice versa?
