    Another bluff from Oscar. The real story here is that DAZN made it clear that the trilogy fights had to happen this September (Canelo and Oscar knew it when they signed the 365 million dollar contract), Golovkin also wants the fight this September, but he wants the fight in New York, and Canelo would fight with him only in Vegas.

    Golovkin can get the trilogy fight, but only in Vegas.

    I would rather see that fight than a 3rd GGG fight! Canelo vs Saunders or GGG vs Saunders would work for me.

    Bring it on! Great fight. Saunders has a legit chance to outbox Canelo if he brings his A-game.

    Billy Joel saunders best win in his entire career is David Lemiuex.

    Remember that

    I don't think BJS is at the same level as Canelo. However, BJS and these types of fighters always present a challenge since they can dance and stay away. Of course, Canelo would get the decision but it could make for a very boring fight.

    Saunders has that style that could absolutely trouble Alvarez. Let's see how much Canelo has learned since losing to Mayweather. Every fighter he's taken on since (well outside of Lara,) isn't known for their defense or movement in the ring, they're mostly come forward type of bangers.

    BJS has been quite inactive the last 2 years and the magnitude of this fight would be something he's never been apart of. Very interesting fight and kudos to Alvarez if this is who he decides to take on. I've really become a fan of his the past few years, he really does take on all comers.

    I think Canelo beats him convincingly enough that there would be no controversy. Yeah Saunders wiped out Lemeiux but Lemeiux is a plodder. Saunders has looked amazing against lower opposition. I liken it to a KO artist who has been waxing lower level comp but when he steps up...the KO's disappear. I see a similar result with Saunders in that I don't think he'd look nearly as slick against Canelo.

    This will look a bit like the Lara fight, difference is Canelo is more complete now, I see Saunders hitting the floor once or twice and Canelo wining by decision

    That's the reason I don't want it to happen, Canelo will get 0 credit because Saunders hasn't beaten anyone

    It'll be an easy win for canelo tbh but all the haters will build BJ's up before the fight then say he was a bum after

    We know how this game works

    BJS is more likely to beat Canelo than Kovalev is.

    BJS could school Canelo Lemeuix style for 12 rounds and still not pick up a decision in Vegas. Don't think this is a fight he can win, but be fun to see him try.
