Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Says Terence Crawford, Teofimo Lopez, Naoya Inoue Top His P4P List

He avoided both Charlo brothers at 154, went up to 160, Big Charlo went up to 160 to chase Canelo, and then Canelo ran to 168. Who is to blame here??

He could have fought a real champion at 154 but instead he chose to fight Amir Khan and Liam Smith. Think about that.

Funny stuff...Charlo still hasn't fought anyone really. Still stuck fighting B level guys while you are crying about Canelo fighting bigger names or more proven challengers.

Where were the Charlos 8 years ago?????

6 years ago I mean. Big Charlo won his belt fall of 2015, and then Canelo chose to fight Khan and Liam Smith instead. Little Charlo won it the next year.

Andrade already was a champ and even went on youtube and called Canelo a ***** and a hoe to try and get a fight with him. But again he fought James Kirkland instead.

Let's be real it was just a quick question in the interview, Bud aint no racist, he has a very diverse corner, is respectful to all his fans, and has the full love and support of everyone in the City of Omaha, black, brown, white, asian, latino, Native American, American Indian, everyone.

What he really meant to say was that Canelo doesn't want to fight Andrade or the Charlo brothers which is a fact, he's been avoiding them for almost 8 years.

Except when he called someone from Benavidez's team a burrito eater? ok.

In the Army and in law enforcement careers, over the decades, you would constantly hear the phrase “the path of least resistance” when referring to clearing structures particular with either movement to contact or active shooter incidents (same premise.) Canelo is taking the path of least resistance to the end of his career and being one of the wealthiest boxers ever.

Charlos weren't barely talked about while Canelo was still at 154....I seem to recall the division being filled with the prior generation of Angulo, Kirkland, Lara, Trout, etc....they got wiped out and Canelo had a few easier fights like Liam Smith. Charlos were barely contenders then at that time. Then after he mopped the majority of that division everyone was saying Canelo is ducking GGG, so he moved up, beat Cotto who was lineal champ from a smaller division like Canelo, then fought GGG 2x....obviously there were other fights but the point is, Canelo hasn't ducked fights that the general public have been clamouring for-he's taken them. Charlotte sistas and Andrade won't fight eachother or a Jacobs let alone a GGG. Next you will be talking about J-Rock, Hurd, and Lubin! LMAO

Didn't Benavidez call him some slur before he said that? They were in the heat of the moment and he was responding to some diss. I don't excuse that behavior but it's not the same thing as like when Floyd said that **** about Manny or Kovalev with Adonis..

[damned1974]

Let's make the fight happen then. We already know that Canelo has a big advantage over power punchers, so why not try something different that people say would give him a better challenge?

Isn't he fighting "something different" yet again this Saturday?

100, which is fine that's the name of the game, but don't tell me I'm not allowed to call him out on it. That's what gets me.

Canelo has very militant fans. His fans are very similar to the Joshua/Hearn fans.

Seems that way, he is definitely a talented fighter and one of the best in the sport, but since his loss to Lara him and his team have carefully handpicked opponents at the right time to make him look as good as possible, somehow miraculously gets the benefit of the doubt in every close fight, and you're not allowed to call that out? I don't mind most but there's this one guy on here who was really bad, but he got banned for making some racial slur at another guy.
