Anybody who says Billy Joe is a bum dksab. For real though. The dexterity, speed, ring IQ, fcuk the endless possibilities really.. BJS had a very dynamic ability as a boxer to throw a lot of punches, a lot of different ways. He has the temperament and ferocity of an elite competitor. He's the archetype of the kind of fighter that will force Canelo in a situation that requires a come from behind win.Comment

Have a look at the Akavov fight and tell me why Canelo struggles with Saunders. He not fought anyone anywhere near hes level.Anybody who says Billy Joe is a bum dksab. For real though.

No ones ducking Saunders, he pulls out last minute all the time. He had a chance for a big win but blew it with Andrade. Hows he gonna clean the division out when he struggles with guys like Akavov? All hes done is beat Lemiuex, i dunno where all the hype is from.Comment

His own fault he struggled with Akavov, but he was clearly overweight, drinking heavily and switched trainer about 2 weeks out from the fight etc..We both know the Saunders that showed up for the Lemieux fight deals with guys like Akavov with ease. Saunders was very honest about that performance. You could see he was embarrassed and he said himself that he doesn't belong in a ring with top fighters until he sorts himself out.
Using individual fights isn't really the best way to judge a fighter. Remember when Canelo got put on ***** street by Cotto's midget brother? If we judged him on that, then there was no way he was going 24 rounds with GGG. Or Floyd struggling to get a win over Maidana when much lesser fighters dealt with him easier.
Saunders is a very skilled fighter, let's not pretend he isn't. He also has a very awkward style for Canelo. I'm obviously being facetious when i say he schools Canelo, nobody schools this version of Canelo but i think a fully fit and focused Saunders gives him all sorts of problems.
Canelo can pick bigger fights that are stylistically much easier for him.Last edited by TheBigLug; 05-14-2019, 06:37 AM.Comment

I just havent seen this star quality from Saunders some people do. He didnt show anything against Andy Lee to suggest he can compete with the top flight, and faded badly against Eubank jnr too. He may have excuses for Akavov, but maybe Lemiuex has excuses too, like you say, the out of ring stuff is hes business. But he pulls out last minute more than most and few people are going to see him as reliable after last year. All those pull outs against Murray and then Andrade. Ok he failed a test, he has excuses like everyone does, but hes abandoned Andrade now to go up to a weight that probably has less interest than 160.Im pretty sure they are maneuvering to the Eubank rematch, no matter what they say. I dont expect we'll ever get to see whether Saunders could compete at the highest level. Yeah,Alvarez had a wobble and Mayweather had bad performances, but Saunders hasnt beaten a top flight guy yet. Until he does, im not seeing it with him.His own fault he struggled with Akavov, but he was clearly overweight, drinking heavily and switched trainer about 2 weeks out from the fight etc..We both know the Saunders that showed up for the Lemieux fight deals with guys like Akavov with ease.
