    This.

    It's exactly why boxing remains such an interesting sport to watch... Nothing is for certain until it's done - overwhelming favourites do lose to skilled challengers with heart from time to time, styles make fights and you never know what someone's true level is until they've fought their best opponents.

    To be clear, I still agree Canelo is overwhelmingly likely to win...
    But BJS is an unknown quantity at Canelos level and the fact that (somewhat like Fury) he seems to fight to the level of his opponent and stinks up the place against poor opponents and only bothers raising his game when he needs to makes it interesting to see just what level of opponent he can actually hang with when pushed - we have little reason to expect him to raise it that far, but of course if he does everyone will have known it was coming in hindsight.

    Sounds like you're just copying what safin said. If you mean cliche as in agreeing with the majority sometimes then sure whatever

    Make a memo never to join a debating club. Seriously. It's went right over your head yet again.

    BJS just said on Fox he's going to fight Canelo toe to toe. Makes no sense that he'd complain about ring size. I know, I know, it's all pre-fight stuff.

    Lools like you have reading comprehension problems. I'll explain it simpler. in every single major upset imaginable there are overlooked factors. Loma/Lopez. Lopez's boxing skills, clear size advantage and power. Whyte/Povetkin. Whytes glass chin and the fact that Whyte has shown susceptibility to the uppercut in the Rivas and Aj fight. George Foreman vs Michael Moorer. The fact that Foreman had insane punching power despite his age and the fact that Foreman gave Holyfield a competitive fight, which means he could compete at the samr level of moorer

    There are no overlooked factors besides Saunders superior footspeed. But that will not help him here. Canelo will walk him down and beat him up. There are levels that will show up during a fight. Pulev whooping hughie fury is a good example

    That could be the upset factor. Lara never ran as much as against Canelo. Perhaps BJS will step up the movement to levels not seen before.

    If he shows a higher level of footspeed and footwork not seen before that would definitely prove me wrong. As I've said Canelo struggles with that style. But if he shows quicker feet than ever then i don't know if I'd consider it an overlooked factor because we've never seen that before this Canelo fight.

    If Saunders fights the perfect he could win but i just don't see it happening if Canelo wears him down with body shots, which is very likely to happen

    Doubt it. He barely squeaked by Eubank Jr by the skin of his teeth and Canelo is ten times the fighter Chris is. He'll be lucky not to get knocked out.
