Comments Thread For: Hearn: Canelo-Saunders Announcement, Presser Should Happen Week Of 3/16

Compare resumes? They fought each other twice. GGG has one win and one draw vs Clenelo. Both guys have inflated resumes full of cherry picks.

It's not even close.

Canelo is fighting Billy Joe Saunders next. Golovkin is fighting Kamil Szeremeta.

Hopefully Canelo doesn't piss hot again or use the Coronavirus to dealy the fight to get the EPO or whatever else he might be taking now out of his system like he did when the first GGG fight was scheduled. This is one of those fights that's going to shock people I think. Billy Joe's slickness is going to give Canelo a lot of problems. And the best part about it for Billy Joe is the best time to score against Canelo is the later rounds. If you watch Canelo, he doesn't fade like he used to but he clearly is a front runner - look at those GGG fights. The problem for Canelo is we don't know how many rounds it's going to take to figure out Billy Joe's style and pattern. It could be 2 rounds but it could also be 7, 8 or 9 rounds. And if Canelo doesn't download Billy Joe's data early enough he could be down rounds and then could lose rounds late due to fading. I'm just saying. And if Billy Joe is the one who figures out Canelo's patterns - then it could be a really long night for the Ginger. I have BJS in an upset decision.

This is so nonsensical I don't know where to begin.

1st off ginger is tied as being the most tested fighter in the history of the sport:FACT(not my fact,a provable FACT)
Whos the other?:
Nonito donaire is the only fighter who ties Canelo as the most tested in history. And he failed AFTER the 1st ggg fight not before you noob. (For an actual food product ingested in higher doses by millions daily,how many fighters have gotten off for WILLINGLY taking peds/actual roids,blood doping etc.) And ggg has & continues to have a horrible testing resume because he rarely submits to testing & goes on hiatuses)

Serious question: what stopped Golovkin from fighting Saunders instead of Vanes Martirosyan or Steve Rolls or the upcoming Kamil Szeremeta?

I'm not defending them as opponents, except maybe Vanes because that was just a stay busy tune up that happened on short notice because Canelo got popped for PEDs. But to my knowledge nobody was beating the drums for ggg to face Saunders over the past 2 yrs. Saunders has been a non factor for a while now. He's a lazy inconsistent pillow puncher whose biggest win is David Lemuiex in 2017. There are tons of other people that ggg could've faced instead of those guys but it's not like Saunders was at the top of the list of guys that boxing fans were hoping for. Him facing andrade or Charlo would've been more viable choices.

I could with more validity ask you why didn't Canelo face ggg over the almost 2 yr span when he was facing khan, Smith and Chavez Jr? Or why didn't he face a real champion at 168 instead of fielding? Or why isn't he facing andrade or Charlo or benavidez instead of Saunders?

can you prove this fact you're stating about Canelo being tied with Donaire? Donaire has been doing year round vada since 2012, and he did so voluntarily. Canelo started yr round vada not even 2 yrs ago after testing positive and allegedly didn't renew doing it as of this past summer. And do you really believe it was accidental that he tested positive? It was the first time vada ever tested him in his home country and the furthest out from a fight he was tested. Coincidental? Not likely.

With more validity??? Naw.

Canelo has the best resume in the game right now.

BJ Saunders would be a top 5 name on Golovkin's resume. He's not even a blip on Canelo's.

[texasboi15]

Just cancel it, not exactly a great match up anyway is it

Translation:

Just cancel it because it makes 97k look like an even bigger puss for ducking Saunders, and fighting Vanes, Rolls, etc.

Go sit on a dïck you hömo.

BWaHaahaHA!!

Why doesn't ggg avenge his controversial decisions over Jacobs and Derevyanchenko..?

Yet begs Canelo for 2nd and 3rd rematches

This is a coward that doesn't deserve the loyalty of his fanbase. This is why he'll never be adored by his fans like Canelo. You gotta give your fans something to stand on.

This is not the nature of a TRUE warrior

But at this point in the old man's career it doesn't matter. His scalp or what's left of it will soon be collected and added to the rest of the scalps on King Saul's mantel.

I say with more validity because Canelo vs ggg was the biggest fight in boxing that could be made at that time (among active boxers) and Canelo chose khan, Smith and Chavez Jr instead. More fans have been talking about Canelo facing Charlo and andrade than Saunders. Nobody has been craving to see Saunders in a big fight for 2 yrs.

As far as Canelo's resume and Saunders only being a blip but being a big fight for ggg, ironic that you say what you do because ggg is by far the biggest "win" on Canelos resume, so then what does that mean about who canelo has beaten if his biggest win is vs a guy with nobodies on his resume?? ..what that means is despite the names on canelos resume, you have to take into account when he beat them (an old Mosley, old Cotto, old Kovalev). Name value is 1 thing, what they had left when he faced them is another. Yeah there's also trout, who's proven to be a gatekeeper, Lara, who many think beat canelo, and Jacobs who was coming off a controversial win vs Sergey and a loss to.. None other than ggg. Those are the highlight wins of canelos career.

So back to the main point, nobody fears Saunders. He just made himself irrelevant by being inactive, inconsistent, and performing poorly, even in wins. So he wasn't a fighter that anyone clamored to see fight big names since 2017.
