Comments Thread For: Canelo: 168 is The Most I'm Going To Fight At, I Already Won a Fourth Title

[Boxing Goat]

Well Bivol has already expressed a willingness to come down to 168 in order to make the fight with Canelo

Would be pointless but of course he would for that payday

[JakeTheBoxer]

If he fights and beats: ( Saunders); Plant, Benavidez, than maybe Jermall or Andrade at 168...that will be fine for me.

If he fights and beats Bivol at 175, that is ATG victory.

[MONGOOSE66]

5’8 is the average height for 147lb. You a are a dipstick that got caught in a LIE! NEXT!

Lie?.... Who me?..... 5’8 average? You’ve got to look forward to more than watching Jake Paul fights kid.

My question to you is, do you think what Canelo did is comparable to what Roy Jones did?

And if you answer was no why even bring that up?

My answer is yes, two boxers jumped at a weight class they did not belong to get a belt from the weakest champ in the division

You say you're a boxing purist but are you? I very much like one champion per division. The champion is the best. No bull ****.

What does this have to do with what I said, ¿Did I ever mentioned being PRO-ABC organisations? you just pulling things out of my context that doesn't have anything to do with what I said

Canelo was ALWAYS been a 160-168lb guy who cut weight, let's not fool ourselves so to suggest 175 was such a huge jump for him is ridiculous. To claim that you are the best and want to fight the best? Also ridiculous.

Pardon me, I don't know a lot of 5'7-5'8 guys who are natural light heavyweights, don't get me wrong the guy is stocky, but he even looked smaller than Smith and Yldirim in fight night, and I'm very optimistic he'll look smaller than BJS. Now before you come up with something like "Tyson was 5'10 demolishing HW's" I could respond in advance with "Canelo is no Tyson" so don't try to come up with things like that, please. He is the best based on resume because he's beat more world champions than anyone not named Manny Pacquiao.

Your excuse of "boxers aren't scared" is total bull****. It does take balls to get into the ring but there are guys you avoid for a plethora of reasons and don't kid yourself. Why do you think trainers may pick the opponents? How do you think prospects are brought up?

If they're not scared why not just jump head first in? Instead we get tons of guys with padded records who might not be as great as their resume suggests. Some guys are too afraid to lose their zero.

Again, getting out of context, this is not my excuse, you called a pro fighter a "coward", stick you what you said and don't try to twist things up.

Guys who fight the best

Lomachenko
AJ
Inoue
Uysk at cruiser
look at Estrada, Rungsevai, chocolito those guys

Just a few names that come to mind.

But I guess ONLY Canelo is fighting the best right?

¿When did I say that Canelo was the ONLY guy who was fighting the best? I only said his resume was the best above everyone else again, you inventing things out of nowhere again.....

Id have to ask you which divisions champions are better. Those at 160 or 168?

Subjective opinion, ¿Would you bet on Charlo to beat Benavidez?, ¿Would you bet on Andrade to beat BJS? ¿Would you bet on Murata or GGG to beat Plant?

Canelo is a great boxer but let's not pretend he's more than he is.

I'm not pretending anything.

Thanks, I can see you one of those dudes who are BIAS, who likes to hate on certain fighters and who likes to invent things out of nowhere, One more guy on the list of "Don't ever read a word from this guy" good luck.

[Oregonian]

look at the who's who of names on Pac s resume speaks for itself. And a champ at 41. Still a name the superstars of today want to fight

———
Now you are digressing into another topic. How typical. You said Canelo fights the weakest guys at their weight class and I gave you multiple names of how PAC fought the weakest at different weight class. Let me do that Shein for you;
135- David Disz
140- Hatton
154- Margarito at catchweight and he had just been KO’d by Mosley.
147- Broner was coming off a loss and a draw.
Clottey was coming off a Cotto loss. Cotto was coming off Margarito loss. Mathysse was coming off Garcia loss and was irrelevant at 147. Mosley was coming off Mayweather loss.
That’s a who’s who list of guys PAC fought at their weakest.

[Verus]

I don’t believe that. He’s not shorter than Floyd. I don’t even believe Floyd is 5’8. I saw Paulie in person and he’s listed as 5’8 and I think Floyd is littler bit shorter in person. Now if you are saying canelo is shorter then paulie then that’s some bs and I know for a fact he definitely was on drugs.

Check some of the footage of the Mayweather Alvarez fight, particularly at the face-off and weigh-in. I think you will see that Mayweather was a bit taller. What facts do you have regarding those drugs? What kind of drugs are you talking about? Is Canelo still on drugs? I think we all would be interested in seeing your evidence. If you have facts about Canelo still on drugs, here is a link to the Texas Attorney General's office. You can notify him. He has presidential ambitions. If your facts are real I am sure he will definitely follow up. https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/contact-us

Everyone has their own bias and agenda. Yours is clear. I never said Kovalev wasn't a good win, it just wasn't as impressive as people like you pretend it is.

You literally are claiming that Canelo moving up to 175 to fight Kovalev is comparable to Roy Jones moving up to HW to challenge Ruiz. Roy Jones didn't even make weight!

Thats laughable!

and don't twist your own damn words. You cried about oh, you're just picking on Canelo, no one fights as good opposition as him blah blah blah. You asked for names! You got them.

So Canelo choosing not to fight GGG for 3 years despite being a full fledged 160lber who weight bullied smaller dudes instead if taking the best fight he could get.

Applaud that please. Some fights were good fights but controversy follows doesn't it?

He sat in the ring for those years and raised his hand claiming, I'll fight GGG right now, lace them up! Did he? Oh, he's a real killer right?

What do you call a person who does that? Want to call that smart? Defend him. Come on, you know you want to.

If there was only 1 champion per division Canelo would have never been a world champion. And I see you know the 160 guys are a better crop of guys than the 168lbers. I wonder why Canelo didn't just unify 160 as he had all the keys but chose not to and wants to unify against Smith, BJS, Plant instead of GGG, Charlo. Andrade.

I think Canelo is #1 p4p right now but of course I'm a hater when I criticize him. I could talk all day about his head moment and combos but nah, I just hate the guy right?

Canelo has has only pushed himself maybe twice in his career and it was both calculated risks against aging guys he thought had declined enough. Good fights? Yes, but 114-114 must mean nothing to you. Same with 118-110.

Oh, I'm a hater though.

****ing scrubs like you.

[Jab jab boom]

Boxers used to fight every 6-8 weeks champs included. Time between fights has nothing to do with chances to win. It’s the excuse used now during the more modern era because a loss is now considered almost unrecoverable. The greatest PFP fighter of all time SRR had many losses. This generation is weak.

this isn’t 1965 guy. Kovalev was at a clear disadvantage in many ways and time in between fights was just one of them. You can minimize that all you want to pretend that it isn’t a tainted win, but a 36 year old fighting for the second time in 10 weeks against a 28 year coming off 6 months of rest is not a level playing field.

[HitmanTommy]

Another moron. He’s LISTED AS 5’8. Delahoya next to him looks 6’2. Doubt he’s that tall.
Welterweights of THIS GENERATION are dwarfs. Delahoya, Trinidad, Forest. None like that today. I think it’s too much video games. LOL.

Don't forget Sugar Ray Robinson.

He was listed at 5'11.

[Sid-Knee]

Spence is trying to become undisputed at 147. He's not moving up, fighting over-the-hill 154 pounders, then moving back down, having to answer questions about why he doesn't want to fight the big dogs at the weight.

Spence has been answering questions on why he's ducking Crawford for years now and is avoiding the biggest dog at the weight. Spence can't become undisputed unless he fights Crawford. But i know what he's doing, it's the same game most Americans play. They either wait until someone else gets rid of them for them so they can get the title they took, easier. Or wait until they're finished before moving in. Either way is fine with them. But it's cowardly and pathetic, which is why boxing has taken a huge hit when it comes to North Americans fighting each other. It's up to the rest of the world to make the best fights.
