Erislandy Lara vs Billy Joe Saunders

[Silence]

Fight of two long range merchant out-boxers. Both are past-prime but Saunders is still 32. I'd choose Lara prime vs prime but he is too old now.

Who wins?

Hard to know how much the Canelo fight took out of him.

Does he still have his head in the game etc

Saunders if they fight now

would be a weight jump for lara and hes 39 years old, he has low output. saunders is quick should win on activity. It would be a good fight for saunders but some risk because its hard to look good with lara though at the same time he wouldnt get hit a ton since lara never throws so it would be good for his eye.

Realistically they prob pick some absolute bum for saunders if he even comes back after 12 million or whatever he got from canelo. He never has to work again in his life if he isnt a ****** and blows all his money like a lot of athletes.

Saunders is almost 33, so really make or break for him.

If he actually fought Lara it would show hes serious about continuing his career at the high levels. Like I said would be some risk to taking the fight but still a good choice with his eye healing because lara dont open up much. Thinking about it its the optimum opponent for BJS to show hes serious about a comeback. If he takes on a complete bum for a "confidence booster" it shows hes just looking to milk things get a win or two for a cash out fight.

- - The STINK factor would see the fight halted mid rounds as an NC result in the middle of U ecstasy.
