Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo vs. Saunders is Biggest Fight of 2021 So Far

[BoxingIsGreat]

Eddie just say whatever for attention, he loves Attention on himself

Solid Fight but a "BIG FIGHT" not so sure about that

Exactly. Saunders is basically unknown in the US. Maybe Hearn meant in the UK.

I just think Saunders is a genius at head games ...the press conferences, the in-ring antics ...if he gets under Canelo's skin enough, and gets him out of his game, Saunders could very will win this. UNOFFICIALLY . It would still have to go to the scorecards, and Saunders would still be on foreign soil. Both would be strikes against him getting a decision victory, even if he clowned Canelo from bell to bell. I would not be surprised though, if there are calls for a robbery, after he outboxes Canelo. Maybe David Lemieux was a hothead and more prone to Saunders' head games then Canelo will be. Lemieux shoving Saunders, after he wandered too close to his corner during the intros

That is the little stuff that I mean, I remember that. Saunders is not going to be asking Canelo if it's OK to hit him. So apart from them being good style matchups for Canelo, they were also in awe the whole time and adhered to Canelo's program.

This isn't the biggest fight of 2021 lol Taylor/Ramirez is bigger and Spence/Ugas is bigger because its a step closer to forcing the Crawford fight. As far as best fights this year its Valdez/Berchelt fight and Estrada/Gonzalez fight. The good thing is that this is a unification match.

LOL Spence v Ugas? And LOL, you think Spence is looking to force a Crawford fight? That cvnt has been running hard from Crawford for a few years now not looking at running towards him.

That's a win for Spence...Ugas is a very STUBBORN opponent , so I'll watch. Every elite is allowed a tune up. Spence doesn't choose tune-ups for ALL his fights, like Crawford ...then ask for a P4P ranking...so it's cool.

Been a while since I've been this interested in a Canelo fight - the matchups against the recent stiffs has been pretty boring outside of just Canelo work. Yilidim and Smith turned out to be about the same level of threat......"Weekend at Bernie's" version of Kovalev couldn't bring much and he still probably sc****d a couple rounds....

anyway, this is the first time in a while Canelo will be fighting someone who actually has rhythm. That alone will make a difference, it will be a good fight. A lot of the comments I see aren't saying SAunders can't compete, they just aren't interested because of the judging.

Smith came into the fight with a record and reputation at least as equal to that of Saunders. Canelo just made him look ordinary. Styles make fights though and I agree that Saunders will be a far more difficult opponent.

AJ Fury say STFU!!! They scheduled for June/July and Nov./Dec.

[hugh grant]

It is a big fight. Bj s is underdog but a tough underdog.

Pac vs. M. Garcia

[chepboxingking]

Well, it's only March...

BJS talks a good fight but his resume is pretty weak, Definitely not the matchup Hearn is trying to sell. Billie's got the skills to survive 12 rounds vs Alvarez but that's about it.
