Comments Thread For: Canelo on Critics Calling For Fights at 175: They Want To See Me Lose..

[LeOoze]

What Canelo did at 175 vs Kovalev isn’t new. Pacquiao did it vs Margarito at 150 cw, who wasn’t ranked as a top 154 fighter. SRL fought Lalonde at 168 for Lalonde’s 175 belt and vacant WBC 168 belt. So this is nothing new. Canelo is not a light-heavy weight. Idk what some fans think they gain from clinging on to Canelo fighting Kovalev at 175. I’d love to see Canelo vs Bivol and Beterbiev but if the guy isn’t comfortable fighting naturally bigger and taller guys than him and he is basically admitting it, then stop calling for it or you go become pro and fight Beterniev. It reminds me of fans calling for Mayweather to fight GGG. People are ridiculous.

These people are ******* and have likely never stepped in a ring. Gotta learn to avoid them.

so, unifying the 168 division is not enough for you, he has to move to 175 to make you happy?

That won't even make him happy. He'd have to move to cruiser or heavyweight.

You should've unified at 160 and 168 then you'd definitely be a top 10 Mexican fighter .

Saul apparently offered a fight to Beterbiev b4 one was offered to Kovalev. Saul wins a belt at 175 and now claims people want him to lose by fighting there? Stop with the "woe is me" narrative, its getting old.

If you hadn't tried to get a belt at 175, nobody would be mentioning it. You did this **** to yourself.

No he didn't. Beterbiev talked about it on social media immediately after Canelo's team made that claim. Said nobody in his team was contacted, and he's more than happy to take the fight.

Thanks for the clarification, thats why I said apparently, didnt want to say it actually happened.

You keep doing your thing ginger nuts, one of the best resumes going, and a terrific fighter.

He was a smaller middleweight fighter and is smaller at 168. At 175 it becomes less about boxing skills and more about the size difference. Why would the A side give an opponent that advantage? He’s already moved up multiple weight classes and aims to unify 168 within 12 months. That’s a hell of a run.
The Canelo haters are just looking for their next great hope after GGG couldn’t get the job done.

He is the best active boxer hands down, no matter who he faces the detractors will just move the goal post
