Comments Thread For: Canelo: I Beat The Best and Critics Claim They Don't Look The Same as Before

[Boxing Scene]

Canelo is the only one beating the best right now but It don’t matter cuz when he keeps whooping these bums that the haters call for right now they’ll just say “oh that guy wasn’t proven so no credit”.

same ole shytt with the haters nothing new.

You defending this fight shows you know are a ***in delusional fan boy. Guy is fighting someone coming off a loss. Do you even get that?

The usual arrogant ish from this guy. He's avoided Beterbiev, Bivol, Andrade. He is great at finding guys who will show up just for a check.

Why in the ffu kk should he fight light heavyweights? The guy is 5'7" at best on a good day. He is even short in height and reach for the 154 lb. division. A better question is Why don't Andrade, Charlo and Plant fight light heavyweights? They are over 6 ft tall in fact as tall or taller than Beterbiev and Bivol. Another question is why don't they fight each other? What it up with that? There is an obvious double standard at play here.

He still has not beat Golovkin at 160. Draw with Lara at 154. Kovalev was the weakest belt holder at that time at 175 and that fight looked fixed as ****. 168 has no best there are no top fighters there just second class lames. Overweight coke head Benavidez looks like he has the most potential.

He also avoided Fury, Joshua, '85 Tyson, King Kong, and Thor

F-ck outta here with your nonsense. When are Bivol and Beterbiev going to fight each other? They've been champs at Lt Heavy for years now. YEARS. When is that one going to happen?

Don't be bringing up Andrade either. He's 33 years old, never fought a current or former world champion. GGG, Charlo and Plant are available and who does he sign on to fight in April? Who's this killer that the GREAT & FEARED Andrade is going to fight? Andrade is a chump that's content on fighting scrubs.

Canelo is actually telling on himself because it’s not that people say afterwards that the guys he faced didn’t look the same as before, it’s actually known before hand that these guys haven’t looked good which is when he picks them as opponents. When he picked Chavez jr, Chavez jr hadn’t looked good in years and quit two fights prior. When he finally picked ggg after nearly two years of avoiding him, did ggg look great vs Jacobs? Or even gs Brook? When he picked Jacobs, many thought he lost his previous fight to Derveyenchenko? Kovalev was 3-3 with two ko losses in recent years before canelo fought him and had nearly lost to a novice just 10 weeks before canelo fought him. Most had smith losing to a huge underdog Ryder the fight before canelo fought him. Yidilgrim hasn’t fought in two years and lost his last fight. Saunders hasn’t been impressive in any fight since lemieux 3 years ago. So canelos strategy has consistently been to pick guys that have noticeably not looked good before he decides to fight them.

Saying he avoided Beterbiev or Bivol is actually an example of what he is talking about. He took a risk and fought Kovalev in a division he shouldn't really be fighting at. Rather than get credit fro beating Kovalev, people not only refuse to give credit by saying Kovalev was past it but go beyond that and start saying he should fight Beterbiev and Bivol...

It's a simple equation. If he beats Kovalev, he gets credit for beating Kovalev. He doesn't need to beat anyone else to get the credit for that fight. Wanting to operate at 168 and unify is fine. He clearly is not afraid of anyone at SMW. If Bivol wants to come down to SMW and get a belt there or a mandatory spot to one of Canelo's belts and then Canelo avoided him, it would be a different story. But that's not happening.

This is giving him a fair shake of the stick. On the other side of the coin, triple G is the best fighter he has beaten -- and he only managed to edge one win on the cards out of two fights. So while I think he has fought and beaten some strong opponents, many aren't that all that impressive. I think it is fair to say he has chosen opponents carefully. Unifying all four at SMW will give him some measure of greatness, but the hurdles to doing so aren't that high. BJS is meh. Plant would be a stronger opponent. Naturally he doesn't come first.

He beat some of the best and also had some trash fights like this one.

Bivol and Beterbiev are in the SAME division??? You see the BUMS both are fighting next??? It looks like their ducking each other more than Canelo is ducking them???

you casual fans shouldn't open your mouth so much especially when you have no clue.
