Is canelo running from the heated up MW division?

Doesn't matter what Canelo does, people will find a way to hate. If he stayed at 60 they'd find a way to complain. Only in boxing can a guy fight the number 1 guy in the division twice and they say hrs running away.

I wouldn't of thought so. He fought GGG back to back, who although he's fell a little, was a much tougher test than the other MW's out there. Feilding was a strange choice but I'd be surprised if Canelo wasn't back at 160 after that.

It's too early to say anything like that. Fielding is a stay busy fight. Why they targeted him and at SMW, we have no clue. I'm guessing Fielding's financial demands were non existent and a win over him let's Canelo say he's a 3 weight champion. We'll see what he does next year. I expect him to come back to MW. SMW has sucked for awhile. Only financially rewarding fight I see Canelo making is Eubank Jr. He has the style advantage there and it should generate decent $$.

He avoided the best at 154 with the exception of Lara, who many believe got robbed, and Floyd who insisted on CW. He fought Cotto at CW and looked about 20lbs heavier on fight night. Fights Liam Smith, then another CW fight with Chavez Jr. If his pattern of opponent selection is any indication of his next 11 fights on contract, I don't expect to see too many elite level opponents. Of his next 11 bouts I'd say we can expect about 3 maybe 4 opponents who will be competitive, otherwise they will be a string of hyped up names who won't be at their best or in the same league. The first of those 11 fights is Fielding, so already off to a sketchy start.

So that’s your excuse? no need for excuses... canelo has the best resume among active boxers(except pac) and has just beat down the top dog at MW in his second fight at 160.. right now he has a tune up 3 months after a war with the monster of the division, we will see after that.. stay sore...

He’s allowed a soft touch for now but he better fight Charlo or Andrade.

Its the same dudes he ran from at 154

well i doubt any of them can knock him out at MW with that pitbull neck of his and oscar has the judges in his pocket so I doubt he would run

yeah, for sure. There are so many fighters at MW. Canelo is a chump

I agree with Mikey. He has a 5 fight contract so he is staying busy and then he can focus on 4 fights in two years on the 5th of may and sept 16 dates Most fighters get ridiculed for this process.. you reach elite status give us elite fights they used to do that in boxing but because of canelo he’s setting a beta standard along with Joshua scary ass.

Hes staying busy. You cant run away when ALL ROADS LEADS TO CANELO! I agree with Mikey. He has a 5 fight contract so he is staying busy and then he can focus on 4 fights in two years on the 5th of may and sept 16 dates

But why would he fight Charlo when there's other fights? Oh wait, that's only for Golovkin right? Unbiased though. :lol1: Canelo is fighting the Robbie Barrett of 168 I can see why you feel some type of way

Canelo has a history of proving people wrong. Demanded a fight with lara and beat him, fought ggg by coming forward and won, etc...It will be a matter of time he fights the other top guys and beat them as well. The man is very competitive and game whenever you put a limitation on him and call him scared.

Golovkin is the one refusing to fight an ordered eliminator.GGG is the 2nd richest active boxer next to Canelo. He is very successful and important and in demand. He doesn't take his marching order from the fuking WBC. Use your common sense if you have any. What good does it do GGG to fight Jermall in a low dollar fight when he has so many better fights that bring in much more money available to him????? If he knocks Jermall out in the first round does that mean Canelo has to fight GGG if he doesn't want to? Of course not. You are just a very devoted GGG hater who never misses a chance to drag him into the conversation and trash him with nonsense.

jeez can he get a break...this is an easy fight, and he just fought in September if he doesn't fight somebody next may then we can label him as smoothing The fact that he fled the division alone and not to mention says he won’t comeback says a lot.

I can clearly see your butt hurt! I've already made a post which you fail to realize common sense! Canelo didn't lose shi!! Fact! It's documented! GGG did lose, documented! Canelo is better at this point in time. I'm a fan of both to those who don't know but call a fight how I see it! Canelo will clean out the 160lb division no questions asked! The only thing is then you will say he still has to fight Mike Tyson in his prime to accomplish anything!! That is the facts! Just because Canelo won a razor thin split decision in Canelo loving Vegas on a Goldenboy show doesn't mean he deserved to win. Fact. Why do you always say anyone who doesn't agree with you is butt hurt?????? You just love that expression. If somebody thinks the wrong guy won they have every right to say so without being called butt hurt. I am a big fan of both GGG and Canelo and I say GGG deserved to win both fights and ts if you don't agree. Maybe you are butt hurt they so many viewers though GGG won both fights.

We have to wait and see who he fights after he KOs Fielding. Lots of middleweights would harder more dangerous fights than Fielding who is the weakest of all 168 pound champions. Fielding was KOed the first round by the best 168 pound champion Callum Smith. Jacobs, Jermall or even Lemieux would be more dangerous fights for Canelo than cherry pick Fielding. I agree that Canelo lost both fights to GGG but I thought he deserved the wins over Lara, Cotto and Trout and he is very much better now than when he fought them. I think Canelo can beat any middleweight except GGG without help from the helpful Las Vegas judges. GGG can only get the official win over Canelo by KO.

WBC hasn't ordered a defence. So how can he be ducking? The winner of Charlo-Golovkin supposed to be his WBC mandatory. Well said! To many Dumbo's on this board.
