Saunders is actually a pretty tidy boxer when he's active and taking it seriously. GGG would destroy him though, i don't think Saunders copes well with pressure as the fight goes along, so imagine what GGG would do.
Comments Thread For: Saunders Now Hoping To Have Unification With Golovkin

So, are you saying you don't want GGG to be active? Or are you skeered for your hero? Fighters usually duck GGG. THIS guy wants to fight him. How is that a bad thing? The guy is a great boxer, and GGG has trouble with that style. I say test him. What's he got to lose besides a few belts? He's the boogyman, right? Then let him fight a guy who wants to fight him.

I suspect Golovkin could take on Khan and Saunders in the same night ,back-to-back. Total would likely be less than 12 rounds, probably less than 6.Comment

Very bold of Saunders. Daring Golovkin to fight him in December. He means it too. They could have unified in the summer if Grovelkin's team wasn't so desperate for canelo. This is the second time Saunders has called out Triple G with no response. If Golovkin doesn't make an attempt at this december fight then there must be something troubling he sees there.Comment

People thought old man Golovkin was going to brutalize Canelo. He couldn't. I wouldn't be so sure that he convincingly beats Saunders at this point. Golovkin has been on a slow physical decline for a while now, but his fans either don't recognize it, wont admit it, or just can't fathom it.Comment

Golovkin applies pressure, in spades. Saunders tries to hold him off with his 'great boxing skills', but ends up on the ropes in no time - no power to hold him off. Tries to skip out - ring cut off - back on the ropes. Golovkin goes to work on the ropes, Saunders breaks down in however manyrounds it takes for him to realise he's not even close to this level.
vs Canelo it plays out a bit differently, but Canelo just has fun with it and treats it as a sparring session until he gets bored.
Jacobs out-boxes him while also breaking him down, ko in 9. Charlo starches him in the middle of the ring within 6.Comment

The mandos are negotiated, so its not clear. Its possible that all of the commissions allowed Canelo to count as a mandatory (it meets all of their criteria, just has to be agreed with them), and might be why Golovkin put up all the belts. If so, he doesn't have mandatory obligations right now.
He's got Charlo, and I think Derevyanchenko is the IBF, but like Canelo, Saunders could also be negotiated to count as a mando too.
Its that flexible.
Hell WILDER almost was almost forced to fight Stivirne or lose that beltComment
