    Billy is over the hill. Just a sparring partner level.
    Another nice Cherry Picked by ClembuteNelo. What else is new....:confused:

    I've been waiting for this fight to happen for about 3 years now. Billy Joe definitely has the style that gives Canelo problems. If it goes to decision in which I predict it will. I think the judges will give it to Canelo.

    BJS can't just run all night to beat Canelo. That's not going to work. Canelo can win every round even if he throws a few punches per round. The 3 judges will not favour BJS who loves running all night.

    You sure about that? Vegas is in murica home of the corrupt.
    Bjs will have to beat the daylights out of him to lose a close point decision in america

    List your 5 favorite fighters right now and I bet their best wins are barely Khan and Fielding level.

    Nah.....I don't really think so. Lara and Cotto beat Canelo but the judges didn't see it that way. BJS can't run all night to beat Canelo since the judges won't definitely favour him to do so. This fight analysis of yours can be criticized a lot.

    Austin Trout - ok
    Floyd Mayweather - old, smaller, Canelo lost
    Erislandy Lara - smaller
    James Kirkland - and?
    Miguel Cotto - old, much smaller
    Amir Khan - ducked GGG to fight skinny chinny welter for the MW title, one of the most shameful opponent choices ever seen.
    Gennady Golovkin X2 - aged Golovkin, lost first while PED-ing, second a toss up, dodged third fight like a coward who takes his ball home.
    Rocky Fielding 168 debut - drained Fielding, who looked like a zombie
    Danny Jacobs - ok but Jacobs is post prime for a MW
    Sergey Kovalev - old opponent, hydration cheating and imposing short turn around after concussive fight

    When you have a fighter that drags up a small welter for the MW title while avoiding the known champ, and picks the weakest 168 for the SMW title, and then picks the most vulnerable 175'r for the LHW title, you know you have an opportunistic scumbag with a manipulated record.

    If he'd fought(without PEDs, Vegas corruption) Golovkin over Khan(instead of ageing GGG some more), then Groves or Smith(post super series) over Fielding, then Beterbiev over Kovalev, it would be an honest conquest of the divisions. And the 'haters' wouldn't exist.

    I hope that Billy Jo has been executing the famous Gypsy Rope a Dope made popular by Tyson Fury, where a skilful fighter goes seriously off the rails, balloons in weight, looks terrible in the ring and fools the cherry picking association of America into putting him in the ring with their prize champion cash machine.

    I fear however that Billy Jo has actually just been acting like a dick for the more simple explanation that he's a dick.

    The good news is that the build-up will be funny. Although BJS would be well advised not to try his patented brand of street entertainment 'pay a hooker to hit a random dude' if he moves his training camp to LA or Vegas.

    Gift decision for the Wranger coming up. Blowy won't care as he will get a good payday.

    Who even cares what Crooked Canelo does? Call me 2-3 years ago when this fight was interesting. Saunders looked bad in his last outing and lo and behold, he's fighting Canelo next. Fury-AJ is the fight to make.

    People don't understand. This is the most biased forum I've been on and though BJS is in his prime Canelo will still get no credit. Look at it this way, the usuals on here already have bjs up 11-1 10-2 9-3.. That much is given, if bjs happens to go 12 the majority is goung to claim robbery. Canelo has no choice but to knock this dude out just to keep any credibility on this site. It's be that a guy like bjs is being looked at as a has been by fans.. " of this fightbwould have been better a few years back"?. Nah bjs is as good as he's going to get and canelo will win and win big and allncreditbshould be given. But this site sucks and I won't be surprised if bjs goes 12 and the whole forum is screaming robbery.

    Unlike GGG, Saunders won't lose, "the story of the fight."

    The fact you can pick apart almost all of those wins speaks volumes. Mayweather doesn't count to his résumé. He lost that fight.
