    Er yeah, didn't watch it. Obviously I watched it.

    Again, citing the judges means nothing. Two out of three judges had Tim Bradley beating Pacquaio aswell. What's the relevance? Like we all don't know how bad a judges card can be.

    You said many thought Eubank won. That's simply just a flat out lie from you. The vast majority of people, vast vast majority, had Saunders winning that fight. That's a fact.

      Everyone knows damn well if it was GGG vs Saunders in May, his fans would be hyping up Saunders as if GGG is about to fight a prime Rocky Marciano.

      Now don't get me wrong, Saunders hasn't fought anyone of note in years. His last good win was David Lemiuex in the last quarter of 2017. After that, he's fought no one. So if anti-Canelo fans want to point that out, they wouldn't be wrong. They would literally be correct. BJS hasn't fought a live body in years. But he is STILL a good opponent, and that is true too. He still has not lost, he is Canelo's age, and he is ranked as a top Super Middleweight and he and holds a major title at 168. Did he beat any one good for the WBO title? Absolutely not, BJS is a paper champion. But that does not make him a bad fighter. Golovkin was once a paper champion as well, becoming WBA champ @ 160 by beating a nobody. That didn't make GGG a bad fighter. It made him a paper champ, but not a bad fighter.

          Canelo is just on another level compared to the field.

            It was not razor close at all, it was a clear victory for Billy, what made it a little controversial was that Eubank was coming on strong in the later rounds, and Billy seemed to want to coast home. I have never heard anyone seriously claim that Eubank won that fight

              As far as Canelo is concerned he is the perfect opponent and the ONLY champion Canelo was going to fight. Canelo can't comfortably get down to 160 anymore because he has outgrown that weight. I doubt he will ever fight at 160 again. Canelo wants no part of 175 because he is too small for that weight and Beterbiev and Bivol fight at 175. Saunders has shown to be the weakest champion at 168 and has not looked good since fighting Lemieux over two years ago. Callum Smith, Benavidez and Plant all are better and hit harder than Saunders. Canelo wants a full world title at 168 so he is almost certainly beating Saunders and taking his WBO 168 pound world title.

                Charlo wanted fair pay and no some garbage lowball offer that Oscar was too embarrassed to say the amount. If Jemall had been offered the same 8 million Saunders was offered he would have accepted that offer but Canelo only wanted to fight Saunders. Hell Canelo can't even make 160 today. The last time he fought at 160 was Jacobs and see if he ever fights there again.

                  I think Blow Job Saunders will do well until Canelo figures him out
                  I see Canelo even knocking him out or his corner throwing in the towel or ref stopping it
                  I wish Canelo would make Bivol a substantial offer and make it at 168
                  I think that’s the fight to make , can also see it becoming a trilogy as I think Bivol is capable of outboxing Canelo

                    Well he coasted for 6 rounds then cause he lost nearly the whole second half of it.
