Comments Thread For: David Benavidez: Canelo-Saunders Is A 50-50 Fight; Saunders Is A Tricky Fighter

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Caleb Plant would have to fight perfectly, according to David Benavidez, to have a chance at beating Canelo Alvarez. Even then, Benavidez doesn't think that the unbeaten IBF champion has the power to keep Alvarez off of him if they meet in a super middleweight title unification fight later this year. Billy Joe Saunders, on the other hand, has what Benavidez believes it'll take to give Alvarez a very difficult fight.

I’m with you on this one David, this isn’t an easy fight for the diva. As long as Saunders remembers to punch while moving and Outland the diva......remember, the judges are always on the rob for the diva

Saunders will make it very uncomfortable for Canelo in spots. This will show just how much Canelo has improved vs the slick style, specially if we see the best of bjs

[Drigo]

I agree. BJS will make it difficult but his low punch output and power will easily give Canelo close UD win...

I'm pretty sure ginger made the ring small so he wont look dumb following saunders instead of cutting off the wring

I've said it before, I believe Saunders has a lot of natural talent. I also think he has a sneaky power which will make it difficult for Canelo to just walk through his punches. However Saunders hasn't been active and consistently fought good opposition and I have doubts about his work ethic, dedication and lifestyle.

Canelo I believe is also very talented but has been more active, has fought better opposition and seems to be very hard working and dedicated.

Another thing is while he talks the talk most of the time, I have heard some comments which have made me question Saunders' mentality and have some doubts about wether he really does believe he can win. I think Callum Smith seemed a bit intimidated by Canelo's reputation and it effected his performance negatively. On the other hand Calzaghe seemed to have the same issue a bit against Lacy but he performed brilliantly. Sometimes a bit of fear can paralyze you and sometimes it can force you to be at your best.

I'm looking forward to the fight and hope Saunders can at least give him a good challenge.

Benavidaz kissing a** by contributing fake hype. Clenelo Saunders is 1-99. Saunders best win is a SD over Eubank 7 years ago and Saunders can not cheat with drugs like he use to.

50/50 Billy Joe couldn’t even dominate Martin Murray??

Saunders doesn't have a low punch output

I think its 50/50 that the good version of Saunders even shows up, dude is enigmatic. Probably 80/20 Canelo wins though.
