    Billie is done with boxing.

    Knows Canelo would probably flatten him.

    Knows he is probably too lazy to even beat Eubank Jr right now

    So being the most recent of the two to pop dirty makes a difference ??? No REAL world champion pops dirty at all. Saunders knows he has no chance of getting a fair break in Vegas against Canelo no one has since he took Floyds cash cow mantle.

    Honest question. What reputation does BJS have? From what I’ve seen people don’t pay to see him and he’s had a very underwhelming career with the exception of one fight. His career mirrors Demetrius Andrade so much that it’s scary.

    Has BJ ever turned down other career high paydays?

    Man these new age fighters are weak af like seriously Canelo made less than 10million against Mayweather and Cotto as the opponent, and took a catchweight for both to make the fight and yet these new fighters got all kinds of excuses this is embarrassing.

    Pretty lame. Then again he wasnt going to get any love from the judges, and wasnt KOing Clenelo, but the cash would be hard to pass up one would think.

    The irony was in you calling Canelo a juiced up coward when the suggested opponent was BJS. Hilarious.

    BUT!! Compare the two BJS had one issue with a nasal spray lol Just look at Canelo? popped dirty for Clenbuterol All he got for it was time off to get his knee surgery done. Then the NSAC upped the amount needed to post dirty so it gave him carte blanche to do it again ROFL. Handing back his bogus title cause he was too scared to defend it against GGG that caused his own countrymen to disown him & name him El Pollo Rojo. This was after bragging in the ring he'd fight GGG at 160 anytime ROFL Add to this the way the NSAC & Vegas boxing covered his ass by robbing GGG TWICE & stealing his titles. Canelo is like Mayweather was, a purely manufactured champion protected by the State Commission because he is the Cash cow. I prefer FIGHTERS!! to Frauds
