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

[damned1974]

Yes, lets be very honest.

In context...Crawford was implying that Canelo doesn't fight a lot of slick complete fighters that are very often Black. That said first on your list is Lara but he's actually Cubin. White people think he's black because they often lump everyone dark skined into one group. Trout is a mid level fighter with one good win over a faded Cotto. Kirkland is a punching bag that gets KOed by every top 10 JR middle and Middle weight. But hey, they do have dark skin so I'll give you that. Since we are being honest it should be said that both times Canelo actually fought a prime, complete, sharp fighter ( that happen to be black) he had problems.... and hasn't fought another since.

As for Crarford's competition... Keith and Garcia demanded 10 million, Manny wants 40 and Spence doesn't want the fight at any price. Just sayn, you can't force an opponent to into the ring that doesn't want to fight.

Sorry...forgot Danny Jacobs. Is he black enough Mr *****?

BTW...White people who think Lara is....black are actually correct. When you are talking race, then that is the correct answer. Your claim of his nationality voiding his race is like saying something silly like "Fury isn't actually white because blacks lump all light skinned people into one group". See how ****** that sounds?

Mr. ***** lmao. Danny Jacobs was the weakest link at 160. Want proof? GGG didn't duck him. That goes to show how much Danny Jacobs is feared. GGG ducks everyone, but for some reason he wasn't afraid of Jacobs.

So “ black” people only come from the USA? People of African diaspora from nations other than the USA are not “black”?

I don't use the word slick, that's the word of a casual.

Most casual fans are afraid of punchers with power. Canelo is not. He has an iron chin and is typically faster and better reflexes than anyone who can punch. So he fights fighters like this. He isn't fooling any true fan of the sport by taking on these big punchers and beating them with his speed and reflexes. Even though I thought he lost to GGG but he clearly beat Callum Smith.

Canelo's weakness is a combination of good defense, hand speed, foot speed, a great jab, and fundamentals. Andrade and the Charlos have all of these things, none of Canelo's opponents since Lara have, which is why Canelo won't fight them.

Andrade reminds me of William Joppy, remember him? (not his fighting style obviously) Remember how everyone was saying he was going to KO Trinidad, how he going to be too much for Tito? All based off the eyeball test and him beating a 60 year old Duran. And what happened? Tito blasts him in what, 4-5 rounds?

Andrade/Canelo would be similar.

Everything you said about Andrade is based off him fighting bums and Martirosyan some 10 years ago.

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.

LOL....are Charlos at SMW now? Last I checked only one of them are at MW. Andrade should fight them (hell, he ducked Lara for a unification bout), but he's been busy going life and death with domestic level guys and I don't see him or the Charlos exactly begging for a GGG fight while Canelo fought him 2x. If you are gonna pretend Canelo is ducking people, maybe you better use examples of fighters who aren't ducking eachother first.

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?

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 James Kirkland, Amir Khan and Liam Smith. Think about that.

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

That's why I was saying at the beginning of the year that Andrade should've been pursuing Plant for a summer showdown to call Canelo's bluff in September.
