Is Yilidrim The Worst Opponent Ever For A #1 P4P Pick

You weren't alive for the Roy Jones era? Considering he's probably the most athletically talented athletes in the history of sports. He fought some really over-matched challengers.

If he fought more often than twice a year there would be no issue with it.

They just don’t like him. Would deserve more respect if they just came out and said it.— Sam (@SamEShanghai) December 27, 2020 Chances are everyone's favorite fighter hasn't fight killer after killer, elite after elite, champion after champion. https://t.co/dhzUFvIutt— Ernie Gabion ������ (@eaner0919) December 27, 2020

If you're a Canelo hater, then what do you care what he does on his spare time.. This isn't going to be his one and only fight for 2021. Why are you all making it seem like he is not going to have at least one other major fight if not two for 2021. From what's been circling around, Canelo is making a two fight deal so with Eddie. So what he is probably doing is calculating the opponents based off what they are trying to pay him. Basically enough for a big fight and change. So a low budget opponent it is. And like I said, who cares.. He's doing it off schedule so it doesn't interfere with his major fights. All you haters can go fk off with your BS stupidity.

Idk crawford opposition is quite yildrim level but its very very close name a top 10 crawford has faced at welterweight ok thanks rest my case. Being that said this was a mandatory for whomever the winner of canelo vs smith was it just shows u the s... Politics of boxing and lack of depth in certain divisions. Yet least canelo has fought quality ops before n as boxing only draw outside exhibitions i hate to say it has earned the right to cherrypick fights. Him n pacquiao only1s that should do it n get away with it.

Canelo is the man in boxing. Everyone knows he has no rival at this point in time, so as long as he gives 2 great fights a year we should be content. Plant turned him down, rumors are charlo turned down a fight offer in the past, he defeated every rival teh public has been calling for Trout, Lara, GGG, Chavez jr, etc, Soon to defeat, Plant, Charlo, Spence, Bivol, Than beterbeiv. Canelo is the king in boxing and is facing a Mandatory so stop crying.

Its not a good opponent and absolutely NOBODY should be trying to Defend It! I don't give a sh^t how much you love Canelo, just be honest admit that it is TRASH but we know Canleo will comeback May likely fighting yet another Champion As far as trying to Defend It...No Just Stop!

It's pretty damn bad, but it's being forced down his throat by the WBC. Any scorn should be redirected to Suleiman.

Just look at the carpet installer ggg just fought that’s way worse

Is Yilidrim The Worst Opponent Ever For A #1 P4P Pick nah, not even close... that is just dumb

I like how Yildirim's alias is Mr. Robot... When has anything to do with being robotic ever been good in boxing lol... Why they even call him that? Is he a moody, anxiety ridden, bug eyed hacker in his spare time?

If you had Loma as p4p #1 I guess you could say Mariaga/Crolla, although I'd rate them slightly better than Yidirim.

Not even close. Nowhere near close. You'd have to look back all the way in the early 1900s to present and you will find much worse opponents fought by whoever was regarded as the best at the time. But no need to go that far back: Roman Gonzalez, regard as #1 P4P at the time, fought Valentin Leon, 38 W (21KO's) - 31 L (17 KO's). A good point, but Roman def was not #1. Floyd was and then depending on what list you looked at Roman was anywhere from 2-5. Many had Wlad/Rigo/Pac over him.

you can thank the wbc for that.. but fighting callum then 2 months later yirdim and then two months later saunders is not bad at all... this is like a tune up in between the real fights... Believe me, I am. Dude became Mandatory by losing a fight. Not sure that’s ever even happened before

No, of course not. Not even as a tuneup after a long layoff

Berto was Floyd's last fight and was def much better than Yilidrim, that doesn't change the question, has Floyd, Roy, Tyson, or Leonard ever faced a guy like this during their peak??? So only Borat is allowed to fight mandatories?? Ca$hnelo styled on these muppets and the pain runs DEEP

The hat is crazy with you clowns. For the idiots who had Crawford #1 his whole career consist of ylidrim type opponents. Floyd facing a completely washed up and used Berto was no better than Ylidrim right now. How about asking is canelo the only p4p fighter to give up such advantages in height and reach and still win over a #1 ranked lineal champ. Berto was Floyd's last fight and was def much better than Yilidrim, that doesn't change the question, has Floyd, Roy, Tyson, or Leonard ever faced a guy like this during their peak???
