Saunders (Lemieux) vs Canelo

Until I see Saunders do something remarkable, I'm going to remain of the opinion that he is a bit overrated. At this point I'd pick Jacobs, Golovkin and Canelo to beat him.

Saunders beats canelo easily.

I see the 'nasal spray' still working then..

BJS can't make 160 anymore... no way... March 🆚 MaySame man, just two months apart... 😳Billy Joe Saunders means business under new trainer Ben Davison 💪 pic.twitter.com/zmfjUCYUJr— Boxing on BT Sport 🥊 (@BTSportBoxing) May 16, 2019 Well then,it's a good thing that canelo is a champ at 168,so the saunders fight should be doable.

The Saunders that fought Lemieux, so just as fast and sharp, fighting Canelo... How do you guys think that one would've/would play out? BJS can't make 160 anymore... no way...

I mean he would lose. You can't run and beat Canelo you have to fight him. That's just stupid talk. If Saunders gives him a boxing lesson he should win. Doesn't matter if he uses his excellent footwork or not. Running almost doesn't exist in boxing. It's not Running when you are the one making your opponent miss and you are the one landing more punches. Then it becomes 'outboxing' and frustrating your opponent. Do you think Saunders can do that (not paying attention to how 'biased' judges may score the fight). Would he be able to convince us fans that he beat Canelo if they do fight?

Actually lose a decision or do you mean the judges just favouring the agressor when he is actually landing less punches? I think that Saunders could've made it very difficult for Canelo I mean he would lose. You can't run and beat Canelo you have to fight him.

I agree that a Focused Saunders would definitely be a tough style match up for Canelo . But Lemieux is a bad gauge as to how Canelo would fare against him IMO . Canelo is not a come forward brawler who gets frustrated if he can't hit his opponent like Lemieux . How the fight would play out ? I don't know . Would I wanna watch ? Definitely . Would Goldenboy make the fight ? I doubt it . I'm not saying Lemieux is like Canelo lol. I'm just using the Lemieux fight to show where Saunders was at his best, very sharp and focused. Something which I also expect him to be vs Canelo

I've changed my mind a little since seeing how Canelo v Jacobs turned out, because I think a Saunders fight could go much the same way... i.e. little action, cautious, and a Canelo decision. However, I still believe Saunders excels in certain areas, as compared to Jacobs, who I consider a good-but-not-elite fighter (he's what we here in England would call a 'Jack of all trades, master of none'), and this would give Saunders more of a competitive chance. Saunders has a great chin, fantastic heart, and also very sneaky. A motivated, fit Saunders could nick rounds, and even lay it on Canelo a little bit. I don't see any KOs occurring, or knockdowns. So, then the question becomes whether Saunders can get the decision... I don't think it's feasible. CANELO, CLOSE DECISION

Eubank Jr. don’t have shock power. In the later half BJs was confused and shelling up to Eubank’s ongoing onslaught power. Canelo’s Ring IQ would close the ring on BJS. Easy work. All day errday! BJs ducked Andrade too. THese theories make it even easier for Canelo Saunders just gassed vs Eubank. There was nothing more to it

Close fight like fury vs wilder or Jacobs vs ggg. Saunders will go down at one point but be competetive throughout and probably deserve the victory but it will be close enough to give it to canelo and saunders will react to canelos blows more than vice versa. That's how I see it. Canelo can't defeat Saunders style cleanly and convincingly. Saunders might go down but he won't be stopped he's tough and would turn up very fit. Nah Saunders chin is really good bro I don't think either of them get dropped in that fight unless it's a balance issue.

Saunders will go down at one point . No chance Canelo drops Saunders. Saunders has a granite chin, never even been wobbled in the amateurs or pro's. I don't think Canelo has the power to hurt Saunders at Middleweight.

Saunders wins. Whether he gets the decision is another matter altogether.

It would be very competitive for sure. The Lemieux fight flatters BJS though, Lemieux was tailor made for Saunders stylistically. Canelo is at a far higher level than anyone Saunders has fought. Canelo UD...

Saunders would run for 12 rounds and lose a decision. Actually lose a decision or do you mean the judges just favouring the agressor when he is actually landing less punches? I think that Saunders could've made it very difficult for Canelo
