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

[Combat Talk Radio]

I have a question.

Why does Canelo get so much static from NSB over Kovalev, when he literally moved up for a championship fight at a weight class he'd never even smelled before...

But Crawford, who's sitting on the WBO, refuses to fight any threats whatsoever, and NSB celebrates him?

Why?

Ginger wasn't at 160 when he fought kovalev. Actually canelos natural weight is around 175. When he was 160 he used to gain 10 to 15 pounds overnight. And use some magical beef to cut weight.

and those at 175 gain 10-15 lbs too, thats how ir works dummy..

Not everyone bright boy. When ginger was fighting at his personal weight. He outweighted everybody.

you are talking about canelos natural weight being 175, so what do you think is kovas narural weight??
the size difference is evident unless you are a hater, oh wait, nevermind.

One of the things I love about the sport of boxing is the truth always comes to light. And when you make excuses, cherry pick, and cover up, you can only lie for so long before getting exposed.

This is the Case in point. Canelo says he already won a fourth title. But what does that mean? Does that mean he already proved he's the best at 175? I know some of his delusional fans think that that version of Kovalev is better than Betterbiev and Bivol, but does Canelo really believe this? If so, he is a huge liar. Or, is this just a slick way of him saying he is afraid of Bivol and Beterbiev?

See either way, he's completely exposed. Which is why he talks slick like this to get around from talking the truth,

For his height. He should of been junior welterweight. That said Delahoya started professionally at 130 and he’s 5’10 and went as high as 160. He had to stop cause he was getting his a$$ kicked. He really looked vulnerable at 147. At 130 he was unstoppable.
Moseley is about Canelo’s height and I don’t believe he went higher than 154. Canelo reminds me of Mike Tyson in the sense he can take down much bigger men due to his explosive power and very good defense. It’s not to common in boxing. I can’t think of another fighter with either of their abilities in the last 30 years.

The point is, he has never face anyone, excluding floyd, and he was bigger than fraud, from a disadvantage position. And kovalev was a drunk coming out a 12 back and forth fight.

Except that he doesn't (unless you're counting a very diminished version of Kovalev). He's got respectable power and even better counter punching but he's not keeping up with these "bigger" guys because of his power. And once again, you don't classify a fighter based on height-it's why they're called weight classes. Canelo is a stocky guy and is moving up with age because he's filling out even more, which is why we'll never see him at 160 again, most likely.

wieght and size are the biggest disadvantages in boxing, and canelo has been the smaller man in many fights, but whatever...

ANYONE WHO UNDERSTANDS the fight game knows, SIZE MATTERS, especially when talent is equal.
Canelo is really a freak in terms of his size and the weight class he fights in. He’s built like a little body builder. What makes him so special is his TIMING and SPEED.
