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

[Mason Brown]

Ring size does matter. Leonard knew it when he fought Hagler so he insisted on a 22' ring. Pretty sure we can trust Leonard's judgment on this one. He knows a thing or two about boxing.

You didn't read my post properly, I said it's important. That was so Leonard could use the ring and delay Hagler's ring cutting, I mentioned that as a reason for a bigger ring in my post. Leonard vs Hagler was a close fight, ring size is enough to make a crucial difference in a fight that close, but it's nowhere near enough for Saunders against Canelo if he has a big ring, the ring size is a factor in terms of how the fight plays out, how good a start Canelo can have, but it won't affect the outcome.

Thats exactly the same thing Robert Garcia & Mikey & Jeff Mayweather said too.(that it's not going to make any difference & that a ringsize doesn't change outcomes except in rare circumstances.)

You're trying to claim Canelo isn't a cheating and corrupt diva? Haha. Where have you been? He does it to everyone. And you're in support of this? Wow.

How dare Billy ask for a ring where he can actually move instead of it being tiny so Canelo can be on top of him without really moving, not with his supposed skill we keep on hearing about, no. But with a small ring so he doesn't have to cut the ring off.

Canelo is a fraud. So are his fanatics. The same people who screamed that Floyd was a coward (He is) like they wouldn't do such things. But here we are with Canelo doing much worse, and the freaks in full support of it all. Haha. You couldn't make this shlt up. Well, you could. If you're dealing with freaks and weirdos anyway.

F3cking cowards. The lot of you. If only you had honour and the ability to feel some kind of shame.

So nothing more than the ring size then. Not really countless, I guess. So, now that BJS is satisfied with the ring situation, is there some other reason you have to discredit Canelo if he wins?

The outcome of a fight is determined by how the fight plays out. So if the ring size is a factor in how the fight plays out, then how can it not affect the outcome?

Good point, but you assume that Saunders understands that being foolish is not a good thing. I think that he, his old man, and the rest of his team live in the land of foolishness.

Lol good point. Well fortunately the issue is “sorted” as he said so he will be in the ring on Saturday regardless of it’s dimensions

You believe the ring size is the only cowardly act Canelo has committed? How about draining fighters, not giving them enough time to prepare, waiting them to age, corrupt score cards etc etc...?

Then throw in the fact Canelo will not allow Saunders to have a judge he's comfortable with. Canelo is having the judges he wants. He's a cheating fraud, and you know it.

BJS needs room to run if he's going to win on pts

Irony talking about honor while defending the biggest coward in boxing named Billy Joe Saunders. I understand your anger though considering the long line of Mexicans putting a beating on all those brits in the last few months and historically. Must suck being from a nation that only has 1 legit world-wide boxing legend (Lennox). Poor little feeble-minded brits...create a sport only get their asses beat on a regular basis

Billy is a coward? Care to tell me how he's the coward here? So he should just let Canelo have his set up and not say anything about it? The entitlement of you idiots is beyond deranged.

Why don't you tell me about the recent wins and what the context is? I'd like to put you straight in your place again. Then tell me about all the "Historical" wins too. I'd like to have some fun with you there as well.

Hahahaha, You think Lennox is the only great from the UK that went international? Classic.

How about "Prince" Naseem Hamed?. The fighter actually responsible for bringing in the big money for the Feather weight division back in the day? Look at how many fans were there to watch Barrera/Morales 1. Nobody cared about them in the US, let alone on the international scene. Naz brought all the attention. Research his signing with HBO and why it was historical.

How about Nigel Benn? His fight with McClellan alone did over a Billion in world wide viewing figures.

How about Chris Eubank?

Bob Fitzsimmons?

Ted "Kid" Lewis?

Jimi Wilde?

We have two international stars right now in AJ and Fury you idiot.

Freddie welsh?

Jimmy Mclarnin?

When you research these fighters and how big they were all over the world, you'll see what i'm laughing at. Thanks for the giggles though, you prized idiot.

Now give me 10 Mexican born and raised fighters who were international, and tell me why they were international? This, should be very funny indeed.

Don't run away without answering and being a coward like Canelo. You hear me?

The outcome of a fight is determined by how the fight plays out. So if the ring size is a factor in how the fight plays out, then how can it not affect the outcome?

The same as Chisora's size advantage over Usyk not affecting the outcome, the outcome being just the winner if it isn't a draw or NC, that's how. The ring size is a small factor because it will affect how long it will take Canelo to start to dominate, and how much time Saunders has, to throw shots at long range, but Saunders is not good enough for the winner to depend on the ring size, the ring size would be more of a factor if Canelo wasn't so good at cutting off the ring and keeping a fighter on the ropes.

So whether the ring size affects the outcome or not depends upon your opinion of how good the fighters are?
