Is Andrade, Benevidez,Charlo, Beterbieve, Bivol famous because they've actually done something impressive,or are they merely only getting attention because Canelo happens to fight near their weightclass?
Would those 5 names have even a fraction of the hype if Canelo wasn't near their weightclass?(or would they be irrelevant to casuals like the CW division?)
Club fighter?
Stop it man. He’s a WBC Cruiserweight champion.
okay.
definition of "paper champ"
man was wbc silver intercontinental supremo champ not too long ago. and won the wbc on vacant status at that, as well as not participating in the boxing series at cruiser.
dude is Indongo blown up.
Yeah when it’s written down in front of you it really makes you go “Charlo ain’t done **** at 160” lol.
I give him full credit for the Derev win though
Notice I quietly took that L......lol
Oh my bad not 5 years..... Yeah I think I was high lol

First off, thank you for correcting my butchering of Enrico's last name. I kinda had the feeling I was missing a vowel in there. The German ran and covered up and his one goal was to survive (and I don't think he did despite his best efforts). Artur just seemed content to just chase and occasionally batter him. I respect the IBF a little more than the other sanctioning bodies but my goodness can the put some dreadful mandatories out there.
He got stopped in the 12th round in a fight that’s only worth watching once, on 2x speed lol
makabu is a much more accomlpished fighter than andrade. 168 is a completely dead division with no one in it whic is why canelo is doing is i'm too small routine there but fighting makabu is better than andrade with his fantasy greatness, its not as good as fighting beterbiev but canelo is too small for 175 when its convenient for him
So if Canelo fights Bivol/Beterbieve next after Makabu will you complain about that too? How about if he fights king kong Ortiz at HW & comes in at 190,will that be enough,or nah?
.... You know what you're right Ortiz is a bum who got kod by Wilder hella cherrypick because hes just top 10 & too old with no chin.

Happens to the best of us. Yesterday I was drunk and accidentally referred to a WBA "Regular" titlist as a world champion. The shame.
Really my memory is bad... I don't follow the sport as close as I used to ( wonder why) so I sometimes make bad statements.

You're Never getting the Canelo fight Andrade, let it go, move on, push for Munguia, Charlo and GGG to fight you instead and create your own legacy. Nobody cared about Andrade fight yesterday, it was kinda sad and also in his backyard more Irish folks came out to Support Quigley than him
Makabu is the definition of "club fighter".
Whole lot of wins against nothings at clubs in the middle of nowhere.
Respect to him for being a boxing professional, don't get me wrong, but he's not a world class opponent for a world class boxer.

The real irony about Koelling being one of Beterbiev’s worst opponents is that was the fight Beterbiev won the IBF championship. He was mandatory to Andre Ward. Ward retired, and Beterbiev had to fight for a vacant belt.
awful fight to watch too. Koelling ran all fight.

Atleast Charlo fought people tho even tho he seems to never get any credit... Hell he done more than GGG in the past 5 years.

I was referring to the casuals….the casuals wouldn’t know who they are.
Well, that explains it a bit, but it's still a weird statement. As a not-casual, I'm not sure what casuals do and don't know. Now if we're just talking Canelo followers, then, okay, they just follow Canelo (or any one favorite fighter) and don't see anything else. Are there fans like that?
I guess that would be fans of a fighter, rather than fans of boxing.
If you wouldn’t have any idea who the unified LHW champion is without Canelo, you’re not a boxing fan. You’re a groupie.
Yeah, that was a weird statement. Bivol and Beterbiev would be complete unknowns? I guess that means unknown to him. I think real fans knew of them before any talk about Canelo came up. In fact, I can't see how people wouldn't know about them, unless those fans just arrived.
Yeah, I wish Beterbiev fought more often, especially since he's coming up to the top of the hill, and will soon be over it. But, doggone, he's a beast.
I didn't even know Boo Boo was fighting....which ain't new.
These guys haven't done nothing and have no leg to stand on demanding a Canelo fight
Atleast Charlo fought people tho even tho he seems to never get any credit... Hell he done more than GGG in the past 5 years.
