Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury: I'm "Very Confident" Saunders Beats Golovkin

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

TYSON FURY liked what he saw as Billy Joe Saunders dominated David Lemieux on Saturday night. So much so that the former heavyweight champion has tipped him to beat arguably the world best pound-for-pound fighter.

I am not confident at all. It's feasible, though.

While Saunders was very impressive on Saturday, he was fighting a very limited fighter (who can punch) so he was always going to look like a world beater providing he didn’t get caught early with something.

He would most definitely lose the battle of the jabs against GGG and unlike Lemieux, Golovkin has very good footwork and leg balance so I do think Golovkin would still beat him.

The Canelo fight is tough one to judge, If Saunders kept it at long range he could have a lot of joy, inside and at mid range however and I think Canelo would light him up.

Unlike Saturday he definitely ain’t getting a decision against either. (unless in the UK)

Chit he might...

Styles make fights

It will be interesting to say the least

Hmm. Can see Golovkin walking through a lot of Billy's work. Would be interesting to see BJS trying to fend him off and not get cornered. If he can do that for 12 frames with a good work rate, then he's in with a real shot.

Very confident?

...You shouldn't be

Fury did predict Martin would beat Joshua...

BJS style would be a nightmare more for Canelo than Golovkin,, Alvarez gets more frustrated when he has to move forward and Chase Fighters,, Golovkin is designed to fight moving foward. Alvarez likes his prey to walk towards him unless your name is GGG.

I kinda agree with that take, because of style.....

that could be right

but it comes down to millimetres

if Saunders stays " millimetres " ahead of Golovkin, for the whole fight, and is successful..... it could play out similarly to Lemieux..... because Golovkin will not have too many options other than hunt/destroy

Golovkin is not limited, like Lemieux..... but he is a little one-dimensional in his approach/gameplan

I think we would need to see more from Saunders against Canelo..... who is quicker, a more well-rounded fighter, with a bigger bag of tricks and more options up his sleeve

aside from having a better repertoire than Golovkin..... when it comes to slick boxers, Canelo has been in there with Mayweather/Lara/etc..... what slick boxers has Golovkin been in there with?

we don't know how good Golovkin is at executing his primary (only?) gameplan at the top level.....

there is a reason why Golovkin walked away from his biggest possible payday by refusing to negotiate on weight with lil 153lb Cotto..... that was BIZARRE!!

we saw what movement did to Golovkin in the Jacobs fight, and we saw what skills did to Golovkin in the Canelo fight..... Saunders could have a bad combination of both for Golovkin

not really arguing with you, you could be right
