Saunders will expose Canelo

Lol, notice how silent Canelo fanboys have been since his fight against Saunders got mentioned. They don't want to admit it, but deep inside, they know that Canelo won't even do half as good against Saunders as Eubank did. The only way Canelo can win this fight is if he drains Saunders. And when the match is over and Saunders is victorious, the Canelo fanboys will say "wow, that was such a huge upset!" to make it seem like the result wasn't obvious to any real boxing fan.

Saunders won't be able to KO Canelo, so he will have to dominate him a lot more than Lara and Trout did, if he doesn't want to end up getting robbed. I mean, one judge actually gave Canelo a draw against Mayweather for getting schooled for 12 rounds...

Saunders is a tricky guy with good footwork and defence, I don't think he beats Canelo but loses a decision.

Interested to see who he faces on the undercard. Smart move for GBP would be to pay enough for Lemeiux to be the opponent. If he wins they get to do Canelo-Lemeiux as a big in-house fight before finally facing GGG, if he loses then at least they can say they did the best they could for DL and BJS will have impressed people and helped sell Canelo-BJS a bit more.

Everytime Canelo has fought a fast skilled fighter, it has gone horribly bad for him. He was Mayweather's easiest win in years and many felt like he lost to Lara and Trout. Even Cotto gave him far more trouble than a small shot fighter should give him. I really can't imagine Canelo posing any threat to Saunders, except by draining or robbery.

If he does that, then the win will mean nothing. However, we never know. Saunders is so good and Canelo is so limited that maybe even a weightdrained Saunders would be too much.

So Canelo is possibly fighting Saunders this year. I have to admit that I'm surprised and actually respect that decision, as long as it's fought at 160lbs. Saunders is undefeated and the way he outfought Eubank and Lee should make it clear to anyone that Canelo won't stand much of a chance. Saunders is too big, fast and good. Canelo's weight advantage won't help him much, unless it's a catchweight fight. What do you think? When Saunders is done with Canelo, will the hype then finally die so we can focus on the real fighters?

Will the fight take place at 160 or will Saunders agree to a Canelo-weight?

BJS has zero chance against Canelo. I like him, he's got good skill, but his engine can only run for 6 rounds, his output becomes too low and he starts getting hit a lot.

I'm not even sure if BJS would win the early rounds either, Canelo is an A level boxer himself, he can match BJS skill for skill. He's got the quicker hands, better combinations and punch variations, more power etc.

It's not a bad fight though.

Canelo doesn't have faster hands than BJS.

Saunders has great head movement, is more elusive, and I'm pretty sure he has the longer reach.
