On neutral ground I'd be tempted to pick Saunders in a close UD / SD type fight, though in he's too easy to score against to get the nod in Vegas.

I think Canelo will beat any middleweight in the world except GGG. I think Saunders is very good and would give Canelo trouble. As was seen in his fight with Khan Canelo is a very smart fighter who figures out how to deal with difficult fighters. He had Khan figured out in couple of rounds and dominated the fight from then on. Canelo should figure Saunders out enough to win. Saunders has a good chin so he might go the distance but Canelo should get the win without any unfair judging help.

Originally posted by Koba-Grozny View PostI've mentioned this a few times and it's a very real option for Canelo - vacate the WBC then lure BJS over to the States for a big $ fight for the WBO title. Seems like the smart option if he wants to keep his toes in the MW pond and not risk what's likely to be a pretty ignominious loss to GGG.
If Alvarez provides Saunders with a nice payday then Alvarez claims the WBO and we are back to square one.

I think Saunders could trouble Canelo with his fast hands and slickness.

Originally posted by soul_survivor View PostSaunders could easily pocket some early rounds but Canelos superior strength and power would trouble him late. I reckon Saunders makes it to the end but Canelo wins...12-0 lol The judges don't even bother watching the fight.

I think Saunders gives Canelo hell, but ultimately Canelo's hand speed would be the difference in a close decision. BJS would match Canelo in size and handle his power fine and has better footwork. It'd probably be boring fight with Saunders trying to stay on the outside and limit exchanges due to Canelo's superior hand speed.
