Comments Thread For: Saunders: Canelo-Khan 'Middleweight' Bout is a Load of Bull****!

[giacomino]

The guy who is "defending" in a bumfight against a slapping opponent who is 3-3 in his last six fights is criticizing somebody else's opposition. Effing rich

BJ is right Canelo wants none of a young Brit in his prime.

It's actually a good chance Canelo loses to BJS.

I'd pick BJS to beat the 155 version of Canelo. Who knows how much better Canelo would be if he stopped draining himself though?

There is a reason why Canelo chose khan at 155 he knows he can't hang with the best at 160.
Golovkin
Jacobs
Saunders
Lee

BJS said khan will win comfortably, this headline is misleading, the video is on youtube on ifl tv

did he looked drained in his last fight?
I think he actually looked more comfortable than his previous fights, far from drained imo...

He didn't look drained but i still think he would be better off at 160. The fact is once he starts going above 155, people will say there's no excuse for him not to fight Golovkin. He would rather fight at 155 and say he's not a full middleweight even if its killing him to make 155, whatever it takes to avoid GGG.

I think it's nonsense anyway, if you're above 154 then you're a middleweight up until 160, so fight as one. The whole point of a weight class it has a certain number of weights within that class where you find your comfortable weight, so that couldbe 155, 157, whatever, as long as it's under 160. So even if you're weighing 156, by the rules you should still fight someone even if they're 160.

Canelo makes a mockery of the belt, the history and the weight classes of the sport.

I'm actually a bit of a Canelo fan but i can't defend him when he's posing as a middleweight champion but won't fight a middleweight at the proper limits.

Saunders says Canelo vs Khan is a bull**** title fight. So, it's got something in common with Saunders against, er, Bursak.

He didn't look drained against Cotto because Cotto was 20lbs lighter than him and had the usual Freddy Roach inspired game plan - come forward and push the opponent back.

It made for an entertaining match, but it allowed Canelo to fight his kind of fight without needing to adjust or work harder than he wanted to work, because Cotto just wasn't big enough to hurt him.

I noticed something though - Canelo couldn't hurt Cotto either, despite catching him **** on repeatedly. At neloweight, Canelo himself lacks power in his punches.

A fighter with Canelo's style and approach needs to be able to hurt his opponents when he hits them flush. If he stopped draining himself down 20lbs lower than his fighting weight it could give him the pop he needs and is missing now.
