Gennady Golovkin vs Billy Joe Saunders potential fight

GGG KO's Canelo in May.

They do a joint card in Vegas with Canelo taking on Spike and GGG taking on Saunders, Canelo stops Spike late and GGG gets taken to school for the first 8 rounds, comes on strong late, but still manages to lose a SD to Saunders 2.0.

Canelo now absolutely scared shitless of Saunders decides GGG is ripe for the picking after he loses to Saunders, Canelo cherry picks him, gets KO'd again, Canelo still scared shitless of Saunders 2.0, then moves to SMW to duck Saunders and becomes a sad fat Mexican journeyman and is bludgeoned into retirement by first Benavidez, then Ramirez and is finished off by the Ooze Cat.

 

I know you're not a fan of his or slick boxers in general, but I'm being consistent here, I've always thought Saunders would present GGG with a ton of issues, and after the Lemieux performance I'm convinced of it, yeah fine, he beat Lemieux I said he would years ago... no big deal, but... it was, and it was for this reason. The only reason why Saunders has left people underwhelmed is because of his stamina issues, he was outclassing Lee and Eubank with the greatest of ease, think about it, if those matches were over by the 7th round, they both would have basically been shut out schoolings, but he fell apart because of his terrible conditioning, and that left a bad taste in people's mouths.

With the Lemieux and Monroe Jr. matches, he's clearly worked out the issues with his stamina, so yeah, based on his recent form against Jacobs and Canelo, while Gennady beat them both IMO, I rate Saunders higher than both Canelo and Danny, and I think he's slicker and more elusive, not to mention a southpaw, style wise Saunders will be a pain in the ass to deal with. That being said, GGG will force the pace far more than Lemieux did, so I do think BJS will eventually gas, but I think his chin is good enough, and he's still slick enough even when gassed to avoid any devastating power shots that he will see the final bell, like Jacobs, who I don't think would eat him alive, because I don't think he even beats him.

 

No, I'm basing everything on my innate almost instinctual organic understanding of the sport. If you can't see why Saunders will pose problems for GGG, you're literally going out of your way not to, or YDKSAB, which is it?

I lean YDKSAB, since you said Saunders IS NOT A GOOD BOXER, and he had ZERO issues controlling the distance/rage against David, did we watch the same match? Or did you even watch it?

I've been hyping Saunders since I joined the site, probably his most vocal supporter, I don't give a damn about how well he did against Lemieux, I predicted it years ago, when the majority of the site said Lemieux would KHTFO, and I'm also one of Lemieux's biggest fanboys so I wasn't just being mean to him.

I also love GGG, so that has nothing to do with it either.

As a sidenote, I was the primary guy on here for the last three years kept telling everyone that CEJ was **** and that he'd lose to the next truly skilled fighter he faced, and he did in Groves, that being said, he's still a handful for fighters who cannot control distance/range well. But that match had zero bearing on my opinion about a GGG match either.

I'm addlebrained tired and unfocused today, so that wasn't my finest post, but I stand by it regardless. And drop the smarmy tone.
