The Saunders that fought Canelo vs. these super middleweights

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.

 

Quits.

 

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

 

Beats Plant and potentially beats Smith.

 

The version of Saunders that fought Canelo didn't seem mentally focused. I also don't think he had gotten himself into great physical condition, either.

If this is the case, then I don't believe you can stack the deck against yourself like that and hope to win a hard fight.

Most of those guys listed are capable of giving him one.

Smith is his best shot.
