I am no sucker. Nor am I riding the Saunders hype train. I am merely pointing out Saunders' weaknesses myself and that is is motivation. Never made an excuse for the guy EVER. Anyway lets make the fight happen. I am happy to eat my words if proven wrong.
I mean if he performs anything like he did for the first 10 rounds vs Coceres he won't have a prayer. It was an extremely lackluster performance until the 11th round. And really I think that had more to do with Coceres getting too comfortable after the 10th thinking he had the win in the bag. (hell he looked well on his way) Not only that, but Saunders was fighting dirty, he hit Coceres with 2 bad low blows, and then proceeded to throw a punch at Coceres while the ref was attending to Coceres, producing a stern warning from the ref. Coceres was clowning him at times with his hands down loading up on shots. I mean BJS got hit with some good shots from Coceres. The scorecards would have been very interesting to see as the DAZN ringside scorer had it even after 10, and I thought that was being pretty generous to Saunders as Coceres looked to be teeing off on Saunders at times and landing the better shots round after round. But if Saunders thinks he has what it takes to fight Canelo at 168 after getting that stoppage bring it on. I mean Saunders at his best is really good, but this wasn't the same guy that schooled Lemieux. He would have to be a lot better than he was vs Coceres to stand a chance against Canelo.
Agree that BJS aint knocking him out. He is at his best able to completely outbox Canelo. Maybe even embarrass him in spurts. But we all know he ain't getting a decision. Even is he completely dominates - I mean completely - even then it's doubtful. There will be some way to get Canelo the SD.
Water which he didn't have to cut as much of? And yes there is extra fat compared to his MW fights. Go look at the hd pictures of the fight. 12% body fat is still lean but more than 8%
Odds are tiny that Saunders would even take the fight. He fights roughly once a year and has had three fights that even began to be relevant.
Based on this schoolboy essay Canelo has no reason not to take the Saunders fight, there will be no need for any clause regarding weight on any given day as he, according to this essay,is shell of a fighter. Just the way Canelo likes 'em....That Shadow can talk some bollocks
