Comments Thread For: Hearn: If No Kovalev, Then Saunders is Good Option For Canelo

That’s Eddie’s promoters talk

“This massive challenge at 175 may be unattainable, but I have a piece of human garbage at 168 who had a belt bought for him. That’s just as good!”

It should be an easy fight for Canelo then .. and a chance for him to win a real world title at 168.

Let's see if he accepts the challenge.

I don't like BJS as a person, he's an absolute tit who seems to have zero respect for anyone outside of his personal bubble. He is a hell of a boxer though and I can respect his decision of switching over to Matchroom/DAZN to (in theory) get fights against the likes of Canelo, GGG, Andrade at 160 or Callum Smith at 168 made a lot easier.

I agree with this, and I don't understand why so many members at this site can't separate their feelings about a boxers personality from their opinion on his fighting ability.

If it was a female only forum I would understand it. But why so many men behave that way is baffling to me.

I doubt he will. You know how I feel about Canelo.

I don’t like either guy personally. It would be a decent fight but yeah...the buildup would make me sick haha

The build up would be awesome!

If the diva is still sulking like a spoiled brat over comments from GGG before their rematch, how do you think he's going to react when BJS starts ripping into him!

It don't matter what he was charged with. He took a KNOWN BANNED SUBSTANCE and admitted it. He's just as much a god damn cheater as THORnelo.

Well as much as I like BJS I agree with you.
It s a shame Canelo fans can’t admit it about their fighter

Too right. Take Mayweather as the ultimate example; what an absolute grade A bell-end, quite possibly the most arrogant person ever to lace up a pair of gloves - I've never seen a a more unlikable person, let alone sporting personality. Never fought without making sure the vast majority of advantages were in his favour, but he was as close to unbeatable as I've ever seen. Every time he fought I cheered on his opponent hoping he'd get taken down a peg or 6. However when the fight ended, I agreed with the verdict every time if not always the width of the scores.

The point is Andrade won every round vs Akavov while Juice Saunders went life and death with the same fighter and many including myself had Akavov beating Saunders.

Saunders was grossly overweight and drained by fight night his camp was a fat burning one which is well documented the Saunders that turned up for lemeuix would have schooled akakov possibly stopped him.

"The fight went the full 12 rounds. Saunders won on all scorecards claiming a unanimous decision to retain his WBO title. The three judges called it 116-113, 116-112 and 115-113 in favor of Saunders. Immediately following the announcement, Saunders took the microphone off the MC and thanked the live crowd for coming and and harshly criticized himself on his performance, “There was nothing there. I’ve been out a year, a bit overweight. A few adjustments to camp. Just flat, really, really flat,” Saunders lamented afterwards. “I’d like to apologise to the fans, especially who paid for it. Terrible performance.”

He also had a leg injury during that year off and bjs being a boxer mover highly relies on leg strength and conditioning both of which were missing on fight night. Plus ring rust.

He won’t react at all. The little diva likely won’t even be at the press conferences. It’ll be BJS throwing barbs at ODLH, and it’ll make old fans like myself wish that Oscar was fighting instead.

Remember GGG/Canelo 2? “Gennady offended me!! No face off! No press conferences!!”

And now, "I'm still offended. So no fight!"

“I’m so offended I will move mountains, lose belts and paychecks to not fight you!”
