Comments Thread For: Billy Joe Saunders, Father Raising Hell Over Ring Size For Canelo Fight

[Divine Hammer]

Canelo is far from a diva. He's had generous scorecards at times but it was really only 2 scorecards...ever. GGG1 and Floyd. Every other card he's ever had was fair and reasonable.

Canelo let diva Borat/GGG act like a child in the rematch. GGG demanded higher purse, selection of judges and ref, complained about Canelo's gloves, complained about Canelo's moustache/beard, complained about Canelo's noisy lockerroom. These were are all REAL DEMANDS from GGG/Abel Sanchez. Those same fans turn around and accuse Canelo of being a diva...its hilarious.

Also, Billy Joe is being gifted this fight. He's done absolutely nothing to earn it and he's cashing out. Sorry to break it to you

canelo biggest diva in the sport...

- numerous rehydration clauses


- numerous catchweights to the point where he created his own weight class


- dumping belts to avoid mandatories like prime ggg. didn't fight ggg until he looked human against Jacobs


- avoided third ggg rematch after getting a big fat gift. almost all media and peoples had ggg winning second fight not him.


- not giving his opponents proper training camps. kovalev had only a month or less to prepare following a fight where he almost got ko'ed. no recovery time at all. callum only had 3 weeks to prepare while canelo had him in mind for a few months already training in preparation.


- failed drug tests should have him shunned from the sport

etc etc etc

As long as Canelo is "the man," his handlers and promotors will make sure he has all the advantages...the only way to beat him is by knocking him out...

**** Saunders. But I seriously think boxing should look at cutting down the max ring size, think this is a way to increase action and viewership. It'd be along the lines of the NFL and NBA changing rules to increase offensive numbers, MLB juicing balls and pushing back distance of the mound etc. Make 20 FT the max ring size, force guys into smaller rings and guarantee more wars, think it would be a big help for the sport

Yup 18 ft should be the only standard , Ring City rings FTW !!!!!!!!!

How big was the ring for AJ vs Ruiz 2?

Canelo isn’t a diva? Really? I won’t even get it to that absurd comment based on his consistent catch weight and rehydration clause requests. They guy even had a catch weight with a half a pound in it. If that isn’t diva, I don’t know what is. But even more ridiculous is your claim that canelo has only had 2 generous scorecards and the rest were “reasonable”. So getting 10 rounds to 2 against trout was reasonable? Getting 9 rounds to 3 against Lara was reasonable? Getting 11 rounds to 1 against Cotto was reasonable? He gets more ridiculous scorecards in his favor than anyone in modern history.

So in other words the Saunders camp are saying, " we were going to take a page from the Lara book of running a marathon".

[Sweet Scions]

BJ wants it big, Nelo wants it small/big drama in the lobby, writing's on the wall/now Ryder's on a plane, gonna crash the gate/E Hearn had to step in to regulate

You still here? It's not Canelo's fault that you still live in your mom's basement....

[Cinci Champ]

canelo wanted the absolute smallest ring allowed because they know saunders will box circles around him like lara did. that's facts. give saunders a 22 ft ring and he makes canelo look like the slow plodding fool he is. FACTS!!!!

16 is smallest allowed

Team Saunders is already cracking under the pressure.
I can picture Billy Joe, siting on the floor in the corner of his hotel room, rocking back & forth,
hyperventilating into a paper bag.
