Comments Thread For: Canelo is Eager To Test Himself Against Saunders' Boxing Ability

You obviously didn't watch that fight. Floyd was making cinnamon looks silly while tagging him all night. Nelo was crying in there punching air. Kinda wish money never gave him the opportunity seeing how cinnamon is running from Charlo and other (slick) Afro fighters as you say.

Yes, that "improvement" after that schooling is hype. Cinnamon always looks good against plodders.

Charlo is hardly a "slick" fighter. There aren't any good "Afro" fighters in Canelo's weight class.

I mean if we're going that route then why doesn't Charlo move up? Because he's ducking Canelo, Benavidez and Zurdo Ramirez. He keeps ducking that Mexican smoke.

Saunders will test the boxing ability of Canelo no doubt a lot of boxing fans will be very surprised

[Combat Talk Radio]

What counter puncher has Canelo beat since Floyd?
I think it's more possible that he beats Billy Joe as Billy Joe is more of a cunning fighter than a great defensive fighter like Mayweather. BJ manipulates distance, has an effective quick jab and knows to keep moving a lot rather than trade combos. Difficult to catch. I haven't seen much of his countering skills though (staying in the pocket and punishing the opponent for missing). That's why I think Canelo should win.

This is the correct answer and great analysis.

So basically he has to beat other black guys to prove he’s better than Mayweather? C’mon dudes, I thought we were better than this. Plus charlo and or Spence can’t beat canelo. Got any other black guy?

Sure! Canelo can't beat Joshua -- oops scratch that one. Joshua is Black but not American.

Why did he drop his belt to fight a washed up Kov on a quick turnaround? Charlo been calling cinnamon out and he's tucked his tail.

I've never said that Spence would beat cinnamon, I just find it odd that he would welcome that fight even move back to 160 for it but Charlo needs to keep moving up to possibly have a chance.

The fact that BJS failed a drug test for roids against BooBoo then fought average fighters now he's drawing Mayweather comparisons is beyond laughable.

Lastly I don't think Beterbiev is black why won't he fight him? I mean Kov was the class of 175 so Beterbiev should be a cake walk correct.

Canelo interested in Spence fight


“Well, obviously, it’s an exciting fight,” said Canelo to Fighthub when asked if he’d be interested in fighting Errol Spence. “Errol Spence is a great fighter, and if he wants to go up in weight, then that would be a great fight. Yeah, middleweight is something we could still do. Yes, we could go down,” said Canelo.


He wants a Spence fight down the road but won't fight Charlo but he says he could beat Floyd now.

So he's better than Floyd but he dropped his belt because he didn't want to fight Charlo.

He fought a washed Kov in a fight nobody asked for not to mention Kov was on his last pinky toe against Yarde.

Is he a great fighter? He looks great against a certain caliber of fighter. I thought he lost to GGG and Lara

They tried fighting Charlo. Charlo turned it down.... Ask Charlo if you don't believe it. Funny how he ain't saying Oscar's offer was BS.

Andrade is straight garbage. Dude hasn't even fought a current or former champion. His resume is trash, he's trash. Wake me when he fights someone with a pulse and not a guy that got beat by someone that Canelo beat.

We gonna see how good Andrade is this Saturday. Personally I think he struggles a lil bit with Williams.

Let's just make sure to screenshot all these foils that think Andrade is SOO GREAT!

[Monty Fisto]

My view is that Canelo will take Saunders out of his comfort zone, with superior timing, fitness and more venom in his shots than anything BJS has faced before.

The only worry for Canelo is his relatively short reach and getting around that long jab. Once he's solved that, it will be a largely one-sided affair. Canelo will slow him with body shots and stop him before the championship rounds.

I believe his selection process of opponents has improved more than his ability. He’s figured out what kinds of fighters he excels against and which he struggles with. Every performance in which he has impressed has had a similar type of opponent.

The BJS fight should demonstrate if Canelo is able to track and trap a boxing mover.

Its unquestionable Canelo defense has improved. Seems like dude almost never gets hit clean - very impressive. And his offense has become more efficient with improved timing.

Whether he can fight moving forward against a moving boxer remains a mystery and BJS should reveal that
