Comments Thread For: Saunders: I Beat Canelo 7 Days a Week, Twice on Sundays!

billy joe saunders is far to slick for the plodding flat footed coward canola

Canelo has beaten slicker fighters then Saunders

[kafkod]

Liam Smith went 9 rounds because he kept his forearms in front of his face. Ultimately, a brutal body shot paralyzed him. If Saunders decides to hide his face like that, he will go 10 or maybe 11 rounds, if not he might be in for a beat down. He won't go 5 rounds if he fights Golovkin.

BJS wouldn't stand square in front of Canelo giving and taking punches like Smith did. That's not Bill's style at all. He's a mover and a jabber. He's also a lot bigger than Smith.

Lara is a mover and Cotto tried to move and jab setting a career high in jabs. Both are much higher class fighters and technicians then Saunders. Canelo will take away his jab like he did Cotto and he will just end up running to avoid getting KO'd which won't win rounds. Or he will stop and fight in spots and get tagged and dropped. Either way he shows Canelo nothing he hasn't already seen from fighters who do what he does but better.

Cotto was too small for Canelo. That was what decided the outcome of their fight.

Lara is so over-rated at this forum it's unreal. Saunders is bigger, stronger, has a much better chin, and can actually land clean punches while boxing on the retreat, rather than running, which is what Lara does.

Barely, and they were all smaller than Canelo.


If BJS is durable enough to withstand Canelo's power and improves his stamina, I think he convincingly outboxes Canelo over 12.

The only thing we know about Saunders is he's bigger then them but he's fought laughable competition then those guys so we don't know how durable and skilled he really is. If Lara and Cotto who are far more skilled couldn't outbox Canelo I damn sure don't think Saunders will. If he was a power puncher then I would say being bigger is a huge advantage but this dude ain't coming to try and hurt Canelo and Canelo has faced harder punchers then this guy who is NOT a big puncher at Middleweight. Class matters people. Cotto destroyed Geale who might be GGG's best win of his career even though Geale was the bigger man. Because Cotto is just a higher class fighter. Looking good fighting bums 2-3 classes below world class level does nothing for me and won't help him against Canelo. But sure hype this man up like he has a shot and I will be here the next day when he gets destroyed by GGG and Canelo. One of the worst paper champs today who has been pricing himself out of fights all year because all he wants is to sell his belt to the highest bidder.

Many of these UK boxers really brag their ass off about what they are going to do to this guy or that guy. Then the fight happens and they get the hell beat out of them. Smith told the world how easily he was going to KO Canelo and look what happened to him. The same thing will happen to Saunders if he fights Canelo.

Great post. The "reasoning" behind some of the comments in this thread is hilarious!

Duh... Smith is a Brit and Canelo KO'd him. BJS is also a Brit, so that means Canelo will KO him too.

Duh ... one Brit fighter just got beat by GGG and another one got beat by Canelo ... that means all Brit fighters are bums.

UK still has more world champions than the whole of north and south America combined ... duh .. my brain hurts ...

Canelo beats Saunders because he is a vastly superior fighter. You are another annoying bragging Brit. The UK is numerous countries not one country. Still I doubt you have more champions than the USA. Have you counted your champions lately? The UK is losing another champion damn near every weekend. You do have a few really good champions but must of them aren't very good. Canelo left two of your champions lying on the canvas like dead men so of course we will bring that up. Duh! Your brain hurts.

He'd be Alvarez second best opponent

Not sure who wins tbh neither are all that

There's no doubt about it would be one of top Alvarez oppoentns, but I wouldn't rank Saunders ahead of Lara, Trout or Cotto.

I honestly think he would be his 4th best opponent, being that he's an undefeated champion at 160.

Edit: I forgot Floyd!

Martinez was way over the hill and had problems with his knees.

Geale was severely weight drained and coming straight off a crushing KO defeat to GGG.

BJS is levels above the versions of Sergio and Geale that Cotto beat and is a boxer/mover who knows how to win off the back foot, behind the jab. Stylistically, he's a nightmare for Canelo.

Lol, Lara would dance around BJS letting him see only smoke, and Canelo had a close fight with Lara with he didn't lose, Canelo beats BJS, weakest champion @160.
