Canelo defeat at a 55-fight career that has brought world titles in three divisions to him was against Floyd Mayweather, six years ago.
„With a fighter like Canelo you can not go in the ring with a game-plan,“ Saunders explained. „You will want to think’That is my only opportunity to change my name from becoming good to great‘.
„[Former trainer] Jimmy Tibbs consistently said there’s a gap. If I said a person was a fighter, Jimmy could say:’No, Rocky Marciano and Muhammad Ali were great fighters – that man is a great fighter‘.
„Canelo is not fantastic. He’s good.
„I’d look terrible in 10 fights in a row however if you place Canelo in front of me, it is a different ball-game.
„A fighter just for me? My style has overcome him before, and that I believe I can do it .“
Saunders had said, when linking up with promoter Eddie Hearn:“Styles make fights. [Canelo] had a variety of trouble. I thought once Canelo had been in his prime Lara nicked that fight. Now Canelo has knee supports and elbow supports“
