Comments Thread For: Saunders: Golden Boy Would Not Guarantee Canelo in Writing!

[Raimondo]

Saunders should challenge Willie Monroe Jr which I think it's a difficult fight for him and Canelo (160 lbs).

You passed on a chance to make a name for yourself in America in front of 50,000+ fans plus the 200,000 watching at home on PPV.

Yeah, really good move.

That makes some sense, especially when I've read that Monroe, who took Saunder's place, has no shot at Canelo as he is too like Trout and Lara (except bigger).

I believe what he's saying 1000%, however, how is fighting arthur korow or whatever his name is better than fighting Rosado on PPV?

Plus it would of been on PPV and in front of 50,000 fans. Kind of ****** IMO turning that down.

Let's see what kind of boost Monroe's career gets as a result of being on that card. I think you are overplaying exposure.
Careers get boosted by results in the ring, not by how many people saw you fight in a shit fight

Pointless?

Oh, but it's not pointless to fight Artur Akavov?

[Uncle Elroy]

I'm the KING around here

... All Saunders has is that belt... Maybe he was afraid that GBP judges would have had left him with no belt even before getting in the same right with Canelo...

So lets see if Monroe's career takes a boost now as he took the fight. It's casuals who are possibly going to get turned on to a new fighter but truth is neither Monroe's or Saunder's style are particularly appealing to most casuals.

Casuals want brutal KOs or beat downs - which is why a certain fighter's stock has risen exponentially the last 4 years. Watch what happens if GGG goes the distance twice in a row - hype balloon will deflate fast. Worse if he loses.

Casuals will abandon that ship quick. Watch this happen if/when Walters loses to Lomachenko.

Casuals slurped up Mayweather's career and made him a billionaire or close to it.

God knows he's one of the least entertaining fighters of the last 10 years.
