        Agreed, doesn’t matter how BJS does, nobody beats Canelo on points right now. Nobody.

              Canelo needs to let billy joe saunders come to him so he can counterpunch... Saunders throws his hooks pretty wide and Nelo is an excellent counterpuncher... if Canelo decides to chase saunders it'll be way more difficult for him to land.

                Would BJS come to him, though? That's not his game and it would be dumb to fight that way.

                  He has stood in the middle of the ring in the majority of his big fights (Lee, Eubank Jr, Monroe Jr). It depends on how much he fears Canelo's punches i guess

                    BJS is not Floyd, Alvarez will be able to hit him

                    BJS looked good against Lemieux, but it's still just Lemieux. Canelo > Lem

                      First off, the physical match-up isn't what most of you think.

                      While BJS is 2 inches taller, the difference in reach is only half an inch.

                      Canelo will actually be the faster guy, both in footspeed and hand speed.

                      It's bad news for Saunders and I am sorry most of you can't see it.

                      Out of GGG, Canelo, and Jacobs I think BJS's best chance is actually against Golovkin because of the styles.

                      That said, I think G probably beats him as well.
