    I doubt Canelo will go anywhere near BJS .unless he lands a sucker punch or the judges rip off BJS canelo has a frustrating experience .

    BJS could be a serious p4p contender if he sticks with Ingle and maintains focus. He's far too cute and long range to let Canelo in to the fight if he wants. He could win ugly against anyone, including this stage GGG imo

    BJS clearly wins the majority of rounds, pot-shotting, frustrating, and evading Canelo, who trails after him like a lost puppy; Canelo gets three 118-110 cards.

    I'm still not sold on him. Not due to lack of ability but a lack of commitment. He's shown in the past that he has bad training habits and he'll need to show he can be more consistent before I would label him as a future star. Talent only takes you so far, you have to have the discipline and commitment too, that is what often separates very good fighters from great fighters.

    Canelo has lead on his feet and gasses but Golovkin couldn't do **** to him.

    Some logic

    Good fight, one I hope gets made in 2018, with Canelo being the obvious favorite.

    Totally. If he stays focused the talents there to take him very far imo. Like you say, he has to be committed. Hes got that cocky confident ****ish streak in him too, which can overwhelm people before they get in the ring. I noticed it with both Monroe and Lemieux, he slightly bullied them before with his confidence, especially Monroe. If you have any doubt in yourself, Saunders is the character that will enhance it and make you doubt yourself

    Call me old school, but I'm started watching boxing when you needed to prove your worth by fighting the best.

    Now a days fighters get ridiculous unjustified hype.

    Byrd has already scored the fight 118-110 Canelo, So if this does ever happen BJS is really up against it being a card down before the first bell.


    Team Canelo have said they have no real interest fighting BJS now, after watching him humiliate Lemieux apparently they said BJS runs like Lara and the fans don't want to see that type of fight.

    Translated "We don't need any of that work, Canelo will seriously struggle"


    So in conclusion, BJS by decision.

    If, and a big if as the fight hasn't been made yet let alone BJS beating Canelo, but if he won, where does that put him on the P4P list?

    Yes a few of us have said this for a while now,Saunders is too big,Awkward and too slick for Canelo imo.
    Simple Boxing IQ as Canelo is a quality counter puncher but BJS wouldn’t give him that so unlike Golovkin who I always thought was a better match up for Canelo,Saunders would run rings round him and would make him gas sooner than normal is how I see it.

    Lol is that right,BJS fights nothing like Lara and could beat Canelo in a smaller ring if that’s what they’d like.

    Unless BJS can be able to KO Canelo he wins. Other than that, no one is beating Canelo on the scorecards. If Floyd got a 114-114 against Canelo what do you expect from the others?
