nah, now you wanna put a whole bunch of “ifs” in your statement. You said he was on par with those other legends currently so scrap all that if he does this and if he fights these guys because those are hypotheticals and haven’t happened. So back to what he’s done, oh he’s a 4 division champion. So is Adrien Broner. That’s not the big deal it used to be and doesn’t automatically put you on par with actual legends. Look at who he beat for his belts, Matthew hatton, trout, Liam smith, Cotto, ggg, Kovalev, fielding, jacobs, Callum smith, and Saunders. The 3 best names on that list were all exactly 36 years old when he beat them and one of those wins were as controversial as it gets. Take out those 3 names and those title wins are average. But sure, put him on par with Muhammad Ali. SMH. It’s cool if you’re a canelo fan but try and have some dignity as a boxing fan.

Andrade has been calling for all that smoke at 160. Noone is picking up. Hearn had to announce that he's available and vulnerable even willing to take a pay cut just to get someone of relevance in there but champions are not biting. I feel bad for only two fighters and that's Andrade and Haney even though Haney's still in the pubescent stage of his pro career. Make that three TC too.Comment

Let's start with the fact that he's won titles at 154, 160, 168, and 175.. How many fighters have done that? If he becomes UNDISPUTED @ 168, how many other fighters have done that? Lastly, if he beat Charlo, Spence, and Benavidez, after becoming undisputed @ 168, at a minimum, he's on the Roberto Duran, JCC Sr. level! And yes, I would even put him on the Mayweather, Ali, level as well!
The only Ali that Mayweather is on the level with is Terrence Ali.Comment

Typical troll quick to jump to assumptions.
Even if I was scared for Spence (I'm not), I would be justified because common sense dictates that a welterweight cannot in their right mind jump to 168lbs. That's three divisions.
Stylistically Spence has the style to beat Canelo, but there are weight classes for a reason.Comment

Jermall Charlo's wish may come true. Immediately following Canelo Alvarez's crushing stoppage win over Billy Joe Saunders on May 8, the WBC middleweight champion Charlo called out the pound-for-pound king on social media even when the Mexican superstar made it clear that he wanted to become undisputed at 168 pounds and next fight IBF titlist Caleb Plant.

I doubt Canelo will move down under the recent circumstances. If Charlo takes another title the fight can happen. If Mall either gets three titles or unifies all belts I can see Canelo meeting at a catch weight. Right now Canelo and everyone else is ducking Andrade. If Mall had the gull to sign the contract against Andrade 30/70 in Mall's favor and happen to win it would be a mile stone and look much more intriguing since Andrade"s been a thorn on Canelo's side.

I know Canelo has ducked them both; Especially Jermall Charlo once he accepted that WBC Franchise Championship belt. Where was his Mexican pride, honour and warrior's heart for accepting a title belt that he did not earn? He received that bogus title belt for ducking Jermall Charlo with gladness.Comment
