He can but why should he? Who's going to give him a big payday? All I can say of this lad is what a waste.. Could've been so much more.
I was never convinced with Saunders at Super Middle. He's a skilled fighter but like Tyson Fury could barely be arsed training and it showed in his physique and his gas tank. He lacks the dedication to get back at this point and we don't know how the repairs to his injury will take. 168 however is a graveyard at the moment he has the skill but not the mental will to knuckle down and graft at this point. If we look at his last fight with Canelo he had some moments but he didn't have any power to keep Canelo off him. It always looked like Canelo was far more hurtfull with his punches. I think a fight with Eubank Jr would be logical remembering he out boxed Jr for 6 rounds before gassing and holding on for dear life. If I was putting money on it I would be picking Eubank Jr as Saunders has looked poor the last few years for me and Jr looks the fresher of the two at this point.
For the integrity of our sport, I sincerely hope not. While this clown was stealing headlines and being granted undeserved title shots, real fighters like Andrade, Charlo, and others have had to wait at the back of the line, and ultimately get passed over. Bjs is far more suited for the clown show that is mma. He should train for that, leave boxing to the men
Yes, he can return and probably still be competitive. BJS was on a downward slide over the past few years. Boxers typically don’t age like fine wine, more like milk. He will never be the same guy he was at his peak. A good talent, he squandered his prime.
