Comments Thread For: Warren: Saunders Would Return To 160 For Canelo - And Beat Him!

Saunders would school Canelo therefore I guarantee golden boy avoids him like the plague

Billy hoe's pitty pats won't do anything from keeping Nelo from walking him down & clipping him with them body shots.

Just like Lara and Trout punches? Ok....sure

Easy work for Canelo. BJs never faced an elite counter puncher. The last elite counter puncher he faced whom was over the hill and gone through too many wars was Andy Lee. If BJS had faced a prime Andy Lee, BJs would’ve tasted a delicious Andy right hook and been stopped. Lemieux is C+ level. BJs isn’t Lara nor in the 23 year old Canelo age. BJs couldn’t stop Monroe Jr. and lost 4 rounds to him.

Canelo by 9th round TKO

I agree. If Saunders comes to fight then he gets KO. However if he just comes to survive, then he would last the distance and go the full twelve rounds. It takes two to tangle and if all BJS does is move, hold and not throw any punches then I am afraid it would be very difficult for the counterpunching Canelo to stop him.

Saunders is a good fighter but can he really finish a training camp without any issues? If the fight was to be made I would go for Saunders if Canelo 'The drainage man' doesn't drain him at the scale.

If billy diarrhea face saunders had any respect for himself he'd have fought Andrade to redeem himself.(but it required vada so he "shat himself")

Hed rather continue being fat & lazy & fight for vacant trinkets(only WBO trinkets of course like other espn hypejobs because they don't require vada & ukad allows oxilofrine til day of the fight ) without oxilofrine BJ's wouldn't even make 168. Unlike Canelo who went to great lengths to prove his innocence & who has been doing vada beforehand,BJS has no qualms about being a hypocrite cheater dirtbag.

It's hard to beat Canelo fighting off the back foot at long range.

I was like, "Who is the dumb *** boxing scene paid for this sorry piece of 'journalism'". Then, I saw it was written by Frank Warren.
Jeeze guys...

Hurd said Lara hit him harder than anyone at 154..Nelo beat Lara & Trout so what's your point?

This fight has the potential of being a 12 round stinker because all Saunders is going to do is move and run out of harm's way of Ginger's punches. He won't stand and trade toe to toe or exchange punches with Alvarez and what makes it worst is he is a southpaw.

Glad to see someone able to read the tea-leaves on how this fight would play out.

Canelo is next-level defensively, and a counter-puncher with few equals in modern day boxing, but he doesn't have move-forward hunter-killer skills, so he's vulnerable to styles that have the ability to keep out of harms way.

That's not to say Saunders would beat him, just that Saunders would go 12 rounds pawing out a soft jab that might make incidental contact 10% of the time, but unlikely to commit to any attack as he would be countered more strongly than anything he could unleash offensively.

Basically Canelo following him around the ring for 12 then Saunders claiming a win on the basis that one or two jabs got close to landing in each round.

You know, I absolutely agree with you; Thanks for the compliment. That is exactly my point. Don't get me wrong. There's no question that Canelo would win the fight but he won't win it by knockout.

It's because Saunders won't engage and would be to elusive with his lower body movement for Alvarez to cut the ring off; Especially against a southpaw.
Personally, I don't believe that DAZN would order this fight to begin with due to the bad style match up.
