    Billy Joe Sanders, a bit like Muhammad Ali?

    Yeah, I think so. He's got the footwork, the uncanny dodging ability, and a near perfect Ali shuffle. Like Ali, he's got enough to sting his opponents.

    I'm not saying he'll have the career or fame, but style wise and movement wise, I see similarities.

    Frank Warren Has developed some stable!

    Overnight he’s ended up with Floyd Jones Tyson jr and resurrected Mohammed Ali!

    LOL
    Don't forget Lee Selby, he reminds me of prime Chavez Sr mixed with Manny Pacquiao.

    BJS is BJS

    You cant seriously say he is anything like Ali
    Lets go back to almost day one Olympic titles ?
    Are the best middleweights in history in our era now ?

    BJS is a good world level boxer but Ali ?

    I think his dodging ability has been on the slide recently, as he just fought Lemieux., but he's clearly working on it asking millions to fight Jacobs. When his dodging abilty was at his peak, he didn't even have to defend his WBO strap at all.

    Ali dodged fighting in the Vietnam war, Saunders dodged anyone with a pulse.
