WBC: Canelo Alvarez wasn’t ordered to fight Avni Yildirim. He ‘requested’ it.
These bogus belts he collects are disgraceful.
Canelo fought
Floyd
GGG-2 times
Kovalev
Cotto
how can you slam this guy?
Tried to cherry pick Floyd. Got dominated yet still scored an MD off a nasty 114-114 card.
Waiting GGG out at 155 for 3 years so that GGG would be more vulnerable and was gifted a draw the majority of people thought he clearly lost that included that nasty 118-110 card.
Got busted for PEDs after clearly losing to GGG and was again given a gift in a much closer competitive fight which Canelo thinks he clearly won, but didn't. Official score cards disagreed with a clear victory and so did the boxing community.
Refused a trilogy with GGG but now ones going to happen in 2021 when GGG is 39?
Beat a over the hill washed Kovalev who was only there to cash out.
Beat a small Cotto fighting above his weight
Add all the positives and subtract the negatives and all you get is negatives.

Just wait til he fights ODLH lol
It's coming
Canelo is a manufactured fighter. There's an asterisk next to his every big win. I can't think of any other fighter like this.
Him being the face of boxing is BS too. He's only popular in USA and Mexico.
Joshua is more popular worldwide than him. Fury probably too.
Yes canelo also caused pearl harbor and the fall of the Roman Empire let’s see he also cause bjs and smith to duckkkk like the biatchesss they are lol
Has Canelo responded to BJS offer of a potential free fight yet?
He could dispatch Turkish delight and be ready for BJS free showdown in England by December...
Surely Canelo has to respond to a call out like that, esp with his reputation?
To be fair...while Canelo does have his Rocky Fieldings and Yildrim fights, he does ultimately always give us the fights we want like GGG twice and Daniel Jacobs and those are fights fans said he would DUCK
So yeah I'm not going to get all upset with Canelo over one fight because I'm positive after this he will come right back with a fight the fans want either Charlo, Plant, Callum Smith or BJS one of those guys then after he beat them it will be excuses and fans are going to want MORE!
However, Canelo and his fans must understand, as the face of boxing it comes with the Territory. This is the same thing some of yall did to Mayweather you always wanted more and it was nothing he could ever do to make everybody happy. Canelo have to deal with the same thing and it is not going to stop fans are going to want more and more until he retires!
I asked for Andrade in an undisputed fight on DAZN but canelo let the belts go. Don't tell me the bodies strip cashcows b/c they don't. The question is, how does his feet stuck in the sand now deal with a FMW and Lara type fighter and Andrade is much more rangy fighter? Based his fights since Lara, Andrade's skillset is levels above and he'll be hard to drainor catchweight him, it's a straight shot like FMW and Lara. 2 times he has ducked the fight. I'm assuming he'll wait until Andrade has soem kind of injury

Exactly on point!
- -Why U upset?
Where did I say I was upset? It's a discussion and this is a boxing forum. I don't respect the way Canelo is going after belts. Nothing more than that. Not everything is about emotions.
Promoter and Belt Organizations are killing this F^cking this sport DEAD! Notice every time fighters want to make big fights it is always some Belt Organization showing up ruining everying!
Hey WBC, pull your Collective Tongues out of Canelo's A$$ you guys already have him as 160 Franchise Champ! WBC and Sulaiman I guess cant' tell Canelo No, they will do and give him whatever he wants with no regards for other fighters :dunno:
However lets not forget, WBC also sucked up to Mayweather and let him do WTF he wanted and Defended who he wanted to Defend against. You get those Perks I guess when you pay the amount of money Mayweather and now Canelo Pays in Fees
% from $35 Million is much higher than % from a fighter making $800K-$1.5 Million

- -Why U upset?
LOL, I didn't even see this thread, just made observations of Canelo and his fights off the top of my head.
---------------------------------------------
Face of boxing since Lara fight - Angulo (shot), Kirkland (shot), Cotto (over-the-hill), Khan (cherry), Liam (cherry b/c Andrade had the WBO), Chavez Jr (shot cherry), GGGimmick I (2nd defeat), GGGimmick II (legit win), Jacobs (ok boxer but no HofF level), Kovalev (double rehydration cherry). Basically, it's alot of recognizable names but not a lot real fights. I'm not sure if Canelo is the male version of Amanda Serrano, a division jumper who grabs opportunitic fights.
Oops. I forgot Fielding. Now, how could I miss that?
AJ is clearly the face of boxing.
Note: We don't even know what GGGimmick is bc he has a wack resume like Wilder.
flody didnt have a unification fight till he was 36 or so against maidna. canelo has had 3 or 4 already. a vacant belt doesnt tell you about the quality of hte opponent. it could be a good opponent, it could be a bum. just like a guy with a belt could be good or it could be a baldomir
Well it does in this situation. There is not one example of Mayweather fighting someone on this level for a belt. So you can stop with that lie. Baldomir was coming off a win over Judah and Gatti. Not even remotely the same as this situation.
No he isn't at all actually. Mayweather didn't fight for vacated belts in this way.

I'm not even going to waste time arguing about other fighters. My question is do you think it's acceptable for him to fight this opponent for Benavidez vacant belt? Why didn't he go after this belt when Benavidez had it?
you want know why?
cuz is a cheap fight they can afford during covid times... a cheap belt also... and yes a ****ty fight...
its all about the benjamins, dazn dont want to pay without a gate so dont expect a big or good fight cuz no one wants to take a paycut and that includes canelo...
he made offers to smith and saunders, and charlos brother already confirmed his brother ducked canelo LMAO, so now he has to make offers to everybody or else he is ducking LMAO.. you haters are something else..
Jermall said that was a lie but I'm not even going to waste time arguing about other fighters. My question is do you think it's acceptable for him to fight this opponent for Benavidez vacant belt? Why didn't he go after this belt when Benavidez had it?
I know he never made an offer to Beterbiev, Benavidez, Andrade , or Charlo(I'm not buying Oscar's) story). All of them have belts in divisions that he fights in. He he claims he wants belts. Yet he's been consistently going through the path of least resistance to get those belts.
Edit: Benavidez vacated his belt which is the only time Canelo has shown interest in it.
he made offers to smith and saunders, and charlos brother already confirmed his brother ducked canelo LMAO, so now he has to make offers to everybody or else he is ducking LMAO.. you haters are something else..
im not reffering to vacant belts im reffering to his general M.O.
Yeah they tried copying Floyd but did it so sloppily that it always bites him in the ass and makes him look bad.
