    Saunders said two years ago that he wasn't ready for Golovkin, let's not rewrite history by forgetting that he did price himself out in 2016 as he admits himself.

    But now he's ready for either Golovkin or Canelo, he has a good chance at beating either assuming it's the dedicated, motivated version, and I hope he gets the chance regardless of who wins the GGG-Canelo rematch.

    Really, dude? I'm not sure Lemmy and GGG fight that alike, to be honest. They both want to be the aggressor and neither are blessed with hand speed but what else is there? GGG operates from the jab, uses lots of body feints, throws lots to the body (less so in the Canelo fight, mind) and looks to control fights via sensitivity to distance. Lemieux...doesn't. He walks forward in straight lines and wants to hook your head into another country

    After GGG I would want Saunders to clean up, I'm not running his achievement of beating Lemieux down when I say this, but I think Lemieux was terrible in the fight, I know it was styles but god he was **** too. Stand in front of him or have minimal movement and he looks like a wrecking machine, bit of slickness and he looks like he's been pulled out the crowd. I probably would have Canelo Saunders and call it a day if I was GGG.
