Canelo has to fight the entire world before he gets any respect from some of you. But every other fighter gets a pass to cherrypick.

If Canelo becomes undisputed at 168 it literally means nothing... let's face it 168 is probably the weakest division in boxing with champions who were not living the life outside the ring, champions who were on the favourable end of judges scores (Callum Smith) and champions who we have already seen hurt in fights (Plant). Not to mention of course that Canelo was gifted the vacant WBC title, meaning he didn't actually beat a champion for it so can't truly be called undisputed.
He needs to grow some bawlz and move up to 175 already. We all know he walks around at 190 plus - he is a natural light heavyweight. It's funny he didn't have any problem going up to fight Kovalev but faced with the very real prospect of having to fight Beterbiev or Bivol he couldn't move back down quick enough!
Also, does anyone not find it a bit strange how Canelo's punching power seems to have increased fivefold suddenly? Don't get me wrong Canelo has always had above average power but suddenly his power is detaching biceps from arms and breaking orbital bones?! I really feel as though the No Boxing No Life gloves uses needs to be examined more carefully. We know Canelo likes to use hard gloves having previously used horse hair gloves and he often stacks his hand wraps but i really think theres something not right there. Canelo are not the straightest of people and let's not forget this guy is convicted PED user...

IMO, this was one of Canelos worst performances. Kudos to Canelo for staying composed though. The power was the difference for sure, but Saunders showed up and boxed well.
Canelo looked frustrated to me at times.
