    Look at this guy already! I've always said a BJS with conditioning and strength, just actually taking boxing seriously, would be an elite fighter. He's got to where he is without even trying or training properly, much in the vain of Tyson Fury.

    This is going to be complete Saunders domination in the Lemioux fight, I don't see him winning a round.


    Simple reason he's in shape is that this is probably the first camp he's gone into where he hasn't had to spend the whole time trying shed the weight.

    BJS is still only 28 years old so he's finally living the life of an Athlete and taking care of his body. I expect him to put on the performance of his life against Lemi and even stop him late.

      He is a world champion. He is supposed to train hard and be in shape. So what? Lemieux trains hard and will be in shape as well. If Saunders doesn't take boxing seriously that's his problem. Now all of a sudden Saunders is this great elite fighter who will dominate Lemieux based on a photo that shows him to be in good shape. Saunders is still Saunders. He is a decent champion but not an elite one. He has to show he is elite in the boxing ring and not in a photo. So far he has not shown to be elite in any fight in his career that I know of.

        He's already shown me all the skills necessary to compete at an elite level, it was always conditioning letting him down before and not living the lifestyle, he got to where he is on pure talent and a fighters mentality. Training hard yes but not having momentum and ballooning up between fights.

        His mind and toughness is beyond question, his heart is beyond question, and his skills from amateur right through the pro's is beyond question. Now in his prime and having 2 straight camps in row, you will see BJS at his best....I have no doubt about this.

          I think people expect BJS to just go on the backfoot and run. I think he'll be making him miss and countering him, jabbing him, backfoot, frontfoot.....BJS will beat him in every area.

          I don't get why people think this will be close. Lemioux will look like the B fighter he is in there

              I'm willing to bet all my points Lemioux does not KD or KO Saunders.

                Yeah, Davids best win has to be Steven's, who isn't world class. If Saunders gets a stoppage and I think he will, he becomes president of the who needs him club. I hope Saunders doesn't play it safe, I don't think he needs to.

                  Awesome, so no excuses when Lemule sends him on the canvass for naptime!

                    No danger of that. Lemioux will be outmanoeuvred, countered every time he comes forward and will have his head jabbed off.

                    There's no way he survives the 12 rounds with his style. I'm expecting a stoppage around the 8th round.
