In just a few days from now, Billy Joe Saunders will take on the toughest test of his boxing career in the form of Canelo Alvarez. A 12-round war between these two has garnered everyone’s attention for obvious reasons, and many fighters have even rolled out their prediction for this fight.

A few days back, the stout middleweight, Chris Eubank Jr. placed a £10,000 bet on Canelo Alvarez to beat ‘Superb’ Saunders on May 8.

The fellow Brit’s notions reached Saunders, and he issued an even fiery response. Saunders revealed he would pay Eubank Jr.’s Saturday night opponent, Marcus Morrison, £10,000 if he were to have his arm raised.

Billy Joe Saunders is one of the best trash-talking boxers of the modern era. With his solid in-ring skills, ‘Superb’ goes all out on his opponents coupled with his ability to mentally break them.

This has helped the WBO super-middleweight champ immensely in his boxing run until now. And he wishes to continue the same for a considerable period.

Is Billy Joe Saunders the toughest 168-pound opponent for Canelo Alvarez?

The world has seen Alvarez’s prolific boxing abilities for countless years now. In his prolonged boxing stint, the Mexican boxer has overpowered a majority of the opponents he’s faced. For now, his prime focus is on claiming all the super-middleweight belts on the line, but Saunders is one major roadblock in his path to becoming undisputed.

The undefeated ‘Superb’, has vanquished all his opponents, and given his record, he could be Alvarez’s toughest test at super middleweight. However, he hasn’t faced someone as sturdy as Canelo in his entire boxing career. Considering this, a fight between the two promises to be an absolute blinder as both of them are equally hungry to solidify their reign.

Despite having his own war to focus on, expect ‘Superb’ to keep a close eye on Morrison vs Eubank Jr.
