Saunders has a great style to trouble Canelo. That's why Eric Gomez basically said they never wanted that fight.
That said, Saunders messed it up for himself. If he hadn't failed a test, he may still hold the other belt and if Canelo wanted a unification, it could've happened. Saunders then got a chance to fight Andrade to get his belt back and for some reason decided to fight for a 168 belt.
The likes of Canelo are not going to choose to fight him if they have no reason. He doesn't bring any money, has no belt at 160 and is just a really tricky fight if he's at his best, so he isn't getting those fights now.
Saunders was in a good position. Now he's going to struggle to get big fights i think.
Although, if he won the 168 WBO title and vacated it, would be get a mandatory shot for his 160 WBO belt if he decided to fight Andrade? Usyk will get a mandatory shot at AJ because he vacated and moved up, but i'm not sure if that's with the WBO or WBA..
