Comments Thread For: Saunders on Canelo: He Robbed Fans, An Absolute Little ****bag!

[JUNIABOY]

Pacquiao-Rios was a catchweight?

The only Pacquiao catchweight i had a problem with was Cotto at 145. It seemed unnecessary, like Canelo at 152. It puts asterisks next to wins that would have otherwise been fantastic

Yea, I didn't very much like the CW for the Pac/Cotto bout either. But, there it was. And nowadays, they're cool with each other because of the Freddie Roach connection. That win for Pac would have been a lot better if it was fought at 147, which Pac has shown he's more than capable of doing. But, it is what it is.

I'm fairly sure Rios wasn't a catchweight fight

People having a go at Saunders, who is the one that vacated? It certainly wasnt Saunders who would embarass Canelo.

At what ?

True, it was bull****.

Yeah but he was going up for his 7th belt, over 10 divisions, unprecedented stuff. 18 months prior he was at 130. It really wasn't obvious he can handle a top level welter like Cotto. Floyd sr and Paulie thought he'd get destroyed

I think if given the chance Saunders will jump at a fight with anyone in the middleweight division....
Now he might not win any fight, but I don't think he is the kind of boxer to pad his record to keep his 0..
He will lose a couple in his career no doubt, but i also think their is no doubt that he has the balls to get in and really make a fight happen with whoever...

The thing is, he is a traveller...and after awhile the travellers seem to get sick of lets say the training and behavior you must show as a boxer at this level....

I have liked Saunders for a good while now,way before the lee fight..but he is not consistent, he has his bad nights.. GGG would certainly give him a lesson, but he would make it a bit tougher than what GGG has faced so far...
As for canelo, that would be a great fight i think, a proper war, canelo has the power to drop Saunders, but Saunders has the heart to get up and go back to war..... I think anyway

You know, I think you're right. Now that I think about it, it was for a vacant title...had to be at 147.

Thtat's fair. I think most ppl around this time were in disillusion over Pac because he was just this tiny guy beating up top guys in Cotto & DLH right after moving up. Cotto was supposed to be a true test of his mettle at WW, so it was a fairly dangerous fight for Pac. It just didn't seem real that he could do it. But when he did it, he made a lot more fans.

So Pac doesn't take a " fairly dangerous fight " without an advantage ?

Pac had already fought at 147, vs Hoya.

And let me guess, Pac is also a genuine JMW champ..... right ?

And despite Ariza/Roach being on public record stating that Manny is a natural JWW who can make 140 easy, and that he has to eat 6 meals a day including shakes at 3am/6am just to remain at welter..... it was perfectly acceptable to drag those JWW's up to 144 where Pac had a clear advantage..... right ?

Right, so..... manny-weight is fine, and gennady-weight is also fine..... but canelo-weight is abhorrent and completely unacceptable?

Saunders can do this tough talk to win over fans but I ain't falling for it, I can't forget what he said about fighting GGG in the past and find it hard to believe those thoughts could have changed in less than a year.
