If BJS hasn't already ran from the fight, this fight will resemble a few different fights imo. Some of the fights are: - James Toney (Canelo) vs Michael Nunn ( Saunders) - A hybrid of Canelo's fights against Trout & Lara (Saunders will take more risks & let his hands go more than Lara did, but not as much as Trout did). - Roberto Duran (Canelo) vs Wilfred Benitez (Saunders)
Canelo vs Lara with BJS having 1/2 of the success Lara did. A lot of people don't remember this but Lara was edging the fight and most people I know thought Lara won. But how can you kill the golden goose? You can't.....
by taking calculated chances & likely getting Knocked out yourself. But you have to try. see Paquiao vs Márquez 4 for the perfect blue print.
Facts, It has completely tarnished his legacy for me. not his accomplishments of course, but it very sad to see one of my favorite boxers is such a despicable human being. Not that boxers / prize fighters should be role models. but particularly with this guy his image of “golden boy” mr “clean cut” Was a giant facade. it makes it that much more unpalatable.
And he was such an excellent, watcheable fighter too. Worse for me personally is that his greasy old man face much resembles a guy I had run ins years ago with.
