    David Benavidez

    Callum Smith

    Crawford that beat Canelo

    How well does he do? Could Saunders have been the standout no. 2 before Bud beat Canelo?

    The only I could even begin to see him beating is Smith and even thats not a good chance. Saunders was just one of many in a long line of "British World Champions" who fought most domestic level guys for title defenses with the odd b/b+ plus boxer here and there. Not that impressive in the grand scheme of things but decent skills.

    Yep. Terence brings it on late between the 8 to 11th rounds like hes known to do and Saunders will find himself a way out like hes known to do.

    Beats Smith and Plant. Benavidez breaks him down. Crawford wins a competitive decision or late stoppage, Billy Goat might quit
