Buzz Level: 1-10 For Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders

[TernceBudCharlo]

I give it a 4. It's a better fight than Canelo's recent opponents, although still not the level of an opponent that Canelo should be fighting given his status, fame, the money he gets paid, and his ability to dictate terms of fights and pick any opponent he wants.

I'll bump it up to a 5 just because I hate Billy Hoe Saunders and want to see him get knocked out.

I want to see fights with new opponents where I think the opponent is capable of winning.

Charlo, Andrade, bietebiev/Bivol winner or either . Ultimately, I’d like to see the Spence/Crawford winner in with him.

These are the 5 people who have a chance of beating Canelo. 6 actually add Jermell Charlo to the list. These are the only acceptable opponents for Canelo Alvarez.

I’m about at a 6 right now, but come Saturday I think I’ll be at an 8....maybe a 9.

I don't think many people feel BJS can officially get a W vs Canelo. That takes away from a lot of the anticipation for the fight. I am though interested in seeing what version of BJS shows up, and if he can beat Canelo on my card. I don't think Canelo takes this fight unless he is very confident of winning though. Maybe he knows BJS is being drug tested and won't be on the nasal spray. That's a likely scenario.
