    Posters using Pernell Whittaker as Saunders should be permanently banned.
    An ATG being compared to a never was and never will be.

    Sad.

    Lara didn`t fight how Nunn did against Canelo, he usded a lot of movement, while Nunn stood rivght in front of Toney, Saunders will use a lot more movement too, it could be more like Jones V Toney with Saunders pot shotting and Canelo stalking like he did for a couple of rounds v Khan, plus Jones really didn`t catch Toney tat much.

    No way, Rosario stayed on the ropes for most of that one while Saunders won`t be anywhere near the ropes which was why he wanted a bigger ring.

    If the referee is Laurence Cole ... Pintor-Owen.

    Just rewatched Saunders vs Lemieux. If BJS is anything like that version Canelo will have his hands very full indeed.

    Never thought his fake walk out was any more than a publicity stunt to make a few headlines.

    He made david look like a non professional fighter you know how hard that is at that top level?

    Billy beat him so bad it was cra\zy its not the fact he beat him its the fact how bad he made him look

    I never said Canelo is Lemieux. I said Saunders looked great in that fight and he was obviously at 100%. Sometimes Saunders looks crap and just coasts. But here he was showing us what he can look like if he trains properly and is focused. If Canelo gets that version then he's not going to have an easy night, I don't care what the Canelo fan club says.

    You do understand that how you look has everything to do with who you are fighting, right? You do remember what ggg did to him, and what canelo did to ggg, right?

    Nope. Saunders has fought worse guys than Lemieux and looked shitty against them. He's the definition of a guy that fights to the level of his opposition.
    Canelo got his head kicked in by Golovkin ;)
